Dear Stranger readers:

YOU are an essential part of what we do. Simply put, without recurring monthly contributions from readers like you, it's impossible to provide the high quality journalism that protects the marginalized and holds the powerful accountable. We've all seen what happens to communities when reporting disappears and falsehoods take root. So if you believe our mission is important and necessary, please consider a monthly (or one-time) contribution to the Stranger, and we'll keep working hard for you and those who need it most!

Thanks, we appreciate you!

Dan Savage Couldn't Strangle Me With Those Limp Wrists if He Tried

So I guess that because I don't harbor "a real fear that this person is capable of carrying out this threat" a felony charge is off the table. Hell, "Savage" hasn't even shown his face at the office—perhaps he's filing his mayoral campaign paperwork or just polishing off another box of breakfast Franzia.

The Stranger depends on your continuing support to provide articles like this one. In return, we pledge our ongoing commitment to truthful, progressive journalism and serving our community. So if you’re able, please consider a small recurring contribution. Thank you—you are appreciated!
