Bill, I wish I had known your mother. What a good job she pulled off, raising Dan Savage. The fact she raised you to be this kind of a man too is icing on the cake.

"That he is attacked as much by LGBTQQETC folks who find him insufficiently compliant to their various (and often contradictory and intellectually incoherent) party lines as he is by wack-job conservatives should tell most readers that my little brother is onto something."
Tell the truth, now, you Strangers. Dan doesnt have a little brother, that is one of his other personalities. `

As long as you have an organ donor card, I say ride helmetless to your hearts content. Patients on transplant waiting lists can always use more brain dead bike riders.

Also, many, many priests are silently gay affirming too. (I know quite a few priests) If you live in the midwest, I could probably get any number of priests to talk to your parents, Me. Seriously. Dan can get you my email.

First, let me say that if I was offered a wish that had to be used for someone else, I would ask for Dan Savage to be able to talk back and forth with his mother whenever he wanted to.
Oh, me. I have been there. Lie to your parents if you have to. Do whatever you can to make it thru to adult age as sane and whole as you can manage with your parents. We will save a place at the table for you when you can get here.
My grandparents found out I was gay when in my late 20s. My mother already knew but asked to keep it from her parents (moslty for her own sake). When they found out, they asked me to come talk to their pastor. Luckily, their guy had a brain and a heart. He at first did emphasize the teachings of the bible per their religious interpretation but then said "Donna and Joe, your granddaughter is an adult and doesnt follow our spiritual path. The only thing you can say to her is that you love her unconditionally. If you dont love her unconditionally, then she should ask you to stay out of her life." They were floored.
I wish you lived in Seattle. I would come have dinner at your house a few times until your parents got in their right minds.

I say 3 drinks should be your minimum for Quality Advice. Bonus for boner pills, which I look very forward to the girl version when I am 60-ish

I dont care if a guy looks at my boobs on the street or in a store. I do care if he does it indiscreetly in an effort to make sure I know he is looking at my boobs. I do care if he touches my boobs or lays a hand on me at all.
He should probably talk to some actual women about the gradiations of bad look/neutral look/good look, the predeceasors of bad touch/ neutral touch/good touch.

so no electronic version of the book? Wait, you read an advanced copy? do not review a book I cannot go buy, that's not fair.
will you loan me your advanced copy in apology? I will bop up to Capitol Hill for it. Cause the damn thing doesnt come out for a whole 2 weeks or so. Unacceptable .

Oh, who hasnt been pepper sprayed or roughed up by cops in their youth during legitimate acts of protest? I have, and I was not surprised by it, because it helps the cause. It's part of the protest experience.
I do giggle a little when the young protesters of today seem genuinely offended when they are protesting but not breaking the law and get arrested or sprayed. It happened to suffragettes, to, well, everyone in the 1960s, to labor union protestors in the 40s and 50s. Its how stuff gets done. NOT the violence, although I agree with a poster above who said that change occurs when peaceful protesters have the foil of violent protestors.

I'm enjoying the spin the catholics are trying to put on their leader = "he was really saying that if atheists do good things, they will convert to xtianity, that is what he meant, not that atheists can go to heaven, oh no."
