Homo It's an Honor Just to be Nominated
Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 1:31 PM
Wow. I don't know what to say. First let me say that it's an honor just to see my name on a list alongside legendary gay rights pioneer Frank Kameny, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, gay political blogger Timothy "Box Turtle Bulletin" Kincaid, and the one man truth squad that is Wayne "Truth Wins Out" Besen. I'm not worthy. But then to get the longest profile of all of this year's nominees for the annual "Gay Grinch of the Year" award? Complete with "offensive descriptions and web links"? Gee, I don't know what to say. I'm speechless. Thank you, Peter, thank you for this singular honor. You've made my year.
Now I'm not going to ask Blogtown readers to go and vote for me—not in a field that includes gay luminaries like Maddow and Kameny—but you can vote for Gay Grinch of the Year 2009 by emailing Americans For Truth About Homosexuality. A full list of the nominees can be found here. I don't think I deserve to win but I'll take second or third runner-up. Vote now!

Dear editor,
I've looked over the options for Grinch of the Year and find many nefarious anti-Christians, anti-Americans and otherwise destructive individuals, a couple I had known and some I've just now heard of.
My vote goes for one I just heard about. I had been thinking over the initial nominees, then I saw the entry about Dan Savage. I went to his "newspaper's" blog to read a couple of his columns for myself. To my horror, they read like an instruction manual on sodomy, deviant sexual activities and sexual promiscuity! While Maddow's commie-queer agenda is disgusting and some of the others have done no right this year, Savage is truly a wart on the disease-ridden backside of a disgusting gay man.
My vote is for him for very much using his bully pulpit to advocate for sickening sex practices and teaching young people how to become "gay."

I'm always highly entertained by people who start/work for organizations like this whose mission statement includes words like "exclusive devotion." It basically means they spend ALL day, EVERY day thinking about gays. Lots of gays. It's just the pounding of gay on the brain from sun up 'til sundown until they collapse in a heap on the bed exhausted from the constant cognitive contact with naked men doing prurient things to other men until they orgasm or women sensually exploring another woman's vagina with tongues and fingers.
Whew! Keep fighting the good fight, Pres. LaBarbera!
PS-does "newly reorganized" mean you just rid your download folder of gay porn (that you used for research purposes, of course)?
