What's wrong with Dan Savage? I know nothing about him but santorum, and I keep seeing strong negative reactions to him on Tumblr.
I don't know what's happened recently, but in the past, he's said a lot of stuff that prompted a whole lot of "check your privilege" responses.
Well, Savage did say that autism was a nonsense diagnosis developed for parents trying to bilk the government. He said they needed to learn real discipline and instead of sending heir kids to time out they should hit their kids instead. [link]
I thought it was Michael Savage and the autism thing (and ADHD thing), not Dan Savage. Dan Savage's area, I thought was more sex advice less ed policy?
Calli, that article is about Michael Savage, not Dan Savage.
Yeah, the autism thing was Michael Savage. Dan Savage blamed Proposition 8 on black people, and said a bunch of things that I don't remember right now that lots of people thought were transphobic, and I think he was the one who said that a woman shouldn't feel badly if her husband wouldn't have sex with her while she was pregnant, because pregnant bodies are all weird and gross and no one should be expected to have sex with that.

There's also the dismissive comments about asexuals and bisexuals. And, just generally, he comes across as sort of anti-woman in the way that many gay man can and do.
WHOA!
Wow...I didn't not know that. That's insaneovision.
Ah, okay. Sorry--a little savage confusion there.
Timelines all!
