SEX Welcoming a New Fag to the "Savage Love" Family of Readers
Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 11:18 AM
From the mailbag...
I don't know if you're gay or straight, or a kike or a nigger, but your offensive reference to HBSM as potentially "not a fag" was over the top. Just so, you are playing to a stereotype by encouraging HBSM to presumably reveal himself as gay by commenting on the woman's shoes. Most gay men don't give a shit about women, or their shoes, or anything else about them. That's the point. We gay men prefer men, period. Got it, asshole?—Brian P.
Got it, Brian!
