And let's give some props to Scott Fujita, too. He's been rather outspoken in his support as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pYCEGxfU…
Yes, let's not forget to give lots of credit to Brendan Ayanbadejo, too. His name's a little more difficult to many people--take a moment to say it a few times to yourself to get it right.
@3: Exactly.
I like how "narcissistic fromunda stain" turns into "beautifully unique sparklepony." Also the statement that gay marriage won't magically turn you into a lustful frolicking ostrich.
ans employers often have the right to regulate their employees public declarations.
sorry to piss in the punchbowl but it is true......
In this case, it's an elected official who is trying to use his position of government power (he was speaking as an official, not as a citizen here) to threaten someone's freedom of speech. That's a no, no.
And nice to see so many positive comments after it...
Exactly.
Which is why Danny works so hard to keep those who disagree with him off of public affairs programs on television.
you made that up. it shows.

The elected official was urging the business entity to regulate the speech of its employee.
He is within his rights to do so.
He has freedom of speech like everyone else, you know.
If his 'employer', the voters, don't like it they can fire him.
If this clown was not a professional football player no one would care or know what he was saying. He is borrowing the fame of the organization he works for to spread his ideas.
They may decide they do not want their reputation used that way and tell him to stop.
They would be within their rights to do so.
The Screeching Liberal Fascists on Slog only think it is 'free speech' when they agree with it.....
it's Danny's schtick.
He is afraid his cred as a hip gay man will fade as he ages.
Sure, it is overboard and creepy but the Fanboys don't mind.
Think of Danny as a middle-aged Clint Eastwood.....
actually the IT stooges at Slog block The Troll regularly and frequently. several times a week.....
Censorship, you know.
First and Last refuge of Scoundrels.
But The Truth finds a way around the blocks and gets back on.
The Truth can not be shut down forever.
But Danny will keep trying.
Don't just look at it, read it.
@30: You made that up. It shows.
your link deals with government employees.
your post @25 extends it to all employees.
fail.
I want to suck your cock.
not kidding.
how 'bout including me in your next 3-way? hmm? dead serious, here ...
lie.
sick of all the lies. how about this? I'm a fucking 40 yr old closet case here, living with my mother, and feeling absolutely pathetic in how I slobber all over your column, danny, every single goddam day without fail, shitting on your liberals and elites. i feel shitty about it.
help me stop. help me come to terms with my problem. please. totally sincere, here.
(no, I don't have a split personality. I recently had a close family member die, and honestly, i'm trying to change my ways. life's too fucking short for this bullshit. sick of living a lie.)
obnoxious. childish. irritating.
please let me make it up to you.
and if anyone's wondering, this is not Seattleblues. I'm a hugely closeted - all my life - fearful little rodent. never had the courage to live my life honestly, and
that's part of the reason i've been so shitty and snarky to you. we're almost the same age, and you've been out most of your life. and here I am, a fucking virgin.
btw, Terry's pics over on instagram? unbelievable hot. i check his page daily. nobody knows. i clear my history. i want to try and land somebody that hot, if at all possible, but in the meantime, I just want to experience some cock, somehow, and honestly, I'd like to start with you.
well ... preferably, you AND Terry ...
And suck some cock.
i may not agree with your politics, sigh, I'm gonna go ahead and say it - "Dan" (not "Danny"!) - but I was raised in an extremely strict Christian household, so I've had a lot of trash and nonsense drilled into my sorry head from a young age. But here's my pledge:
from here on, I'm gonna try to stop being such an ornery, obnoxious motherfucking, tiresome idiot.
PS. if you see other posts from me on here, claiming to disagree with myself - with what I'm saying here, which is the REAL me - honest to God! - please ignore them.
for anyone who hasn't seen it - go and check youtube! makes me fucking hard.
christ, it feels good to get this off my chest.
With the hopes that it will eventually lead him to some cock.
actually what is painful for Terry is watching Danny make a big ostentatious production out of hound-dogging after shaggy boys.
carry on.....
so please, fellow Sloggers ... i'm trying to make amends here, for miles of asshole-ry. ignore that @45 dude trying to make me look bad. I'm the original troller, here! not that imposter!
LTR, kid, nice house, European vacations, likely no money worries, superhot, superawesome sex (I mean, come on, sex has been Dan's full time professional job for 20+ years ... ! Y'think there's a chance in all hell he's bad in the sack?)
So ... me, buddy. I know the jealously rages in you/me, which causes these lashings out and split-personality style Slog comments, but let's try harder to be honest. Enough of the lies and bullshit! It's eating you/me up ...
so unhealthy! It's time to review my life situation - the one that compels me to sit on Slog all day, day in and day out for months on end ... exactly like the liberal slackers I pontificate to and about ... shitting not only on Savage and his husband and even, unthinkably, their kid (!) at times (absolutely disgusting, that), but other Stranger writers, as well (Paul Constant, for one).
I/we need to confront me/our demons! It's okay that I/we secretly want Savage, and that I/we can't, for instance, stop beating off to that youtube video referenced earlier ... and that that has been the real reason behind all my/our nastiness and vitriol all this time!
Half the battle is admitting it! WE want to get better! WE want to get an actual life and stop snooping and hanging out in places we clearly find repulsive, slimy, icky and unsavory like Slog ... actually spending all our time picking idiotic little bitch-fights and just generally being obnoxious and insufferable ... and maybe, eventually find a real, actual boyfriend to help us channel away the nastiness and find some release! Other than with my/our own hand, that is!
Oh ... fuck. Mom's calling me/us up from the basement. Talk at/for you/us later.
In all seriousness there's general counseling services out there for uninsured folks and/or those in low income situations or otherwise without resources available to them. Contact your local department of human services chapter. Or any nearby university or community college's mental health clinic will have low/no-cost programs & clinics available through their system. Failing that, you can even call whatever the local Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance provider in your area is and they'd be able to refer you to whatever community based/pro-bono/whatever agencies are out there to assist & support those in need.
You don't need to reply to this message & good luck to you one way or other.
Do I/we have several best sellers under our belt ...? As well as one presently pending? (Why do I/we never even get book offers??)
Did I/we have an Mtv special that just got Emmy-nominated? Based on a wildly successful international project that got us invited to the White House and even compelled same to hold it's first-ever national conference on the subject?
Did Mtv offer us our very own show with our very name in the title?
Do WE ever get invited onto Maher, Colbert, CNN, MSNBC, RuPaul's Drag Race, etc etc?
Have WE had, over many years, numerous op/ed pieces in various national and local publications?
Do WE get blurbs on the front cover of other people's bestsellers ...?
Do WE write and direct plays which local theater companies put on ...?
Do WE run a highly successful, long standing local weekly that just won a Pulitzer Prize? Something almost unheard of in the business ...? (Weeklies getting Pulitzers ...)
Do WE have a ridiculously hot husband?
No?
Huh.
I always thought about football players making grand open statements in favor of gay rights, but only in the same I've thought about the Supreme Court suddenly becoming nonpolitical - something that I will never live to see. And then, suddenly, it happens.
And what does Ann "I LOVE YOU WOMEN!" Romney think of two lesbians getting married? Paraphrase: "I'm only here to criticize Obama. I'm not going to talk about these hot-button issues, like contraception, that women don't care about. Women only care about what a horrible president Obama is."
Ten years ago, she would have answered, "I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman." Today, she can't even get herself to say that.
So, add both of these together - Ann Romney and the shaggy football players - and you can say the concept of gay marriage is looking pretty good.
Do I have some sort of weird vendetta ....? Was I once a one night stand wannabe, long ago, that he passed by? Is it just that I can't face my own ridiculously repressed sexuality ...? Did he once turn me down for a Stranger internship? Did he fail to respond to a letter, or multiple letters, sent years back, to Savage Love? Is it that I'm 40, a virgin, and live in the burbs in my parents' basement instead of a super hip city like Seattle and that the jealousy - professionally and personally - just eats me up? I mean ...
Oh no...
is it possible Our Little Danny has finally snapped?
This is the time, NFL - make some history, you know you want to...
I'LL TAKE IT!! THANK YOU!!
Now, run along and make some nasty cracks about the man's kid, again ... Btw, he's 14 - same mental age as you.
Why don't the people policing body image/language issues care when it is about a guy? Is it not still sexism? I genuinely want to know the distinction.
Yes, it's a double standard. But it's not "unfair". What's unfair is the enormous double standard to which women have been subjected for centuries.
Also, people can only be incidently commenting on a man's looks, but when they do so to a woman it is always rank sexism. Loud and clear.
Sorry, but the fact that NFL players are not only vocally on our side, but vociferously so, is a big deal. It was inevitable, but it's still something to celebrate when it happens. These guys reach an audience that none of your fancy "eloquent" speakers have. If you don't value that, then you're probably a snob.
