They hate him so much lmfao

(If you don’t know, the contagion fetish allegations were a joke Dan made, he didn’t go and pull a SNZ fetish at GOP campaign office.)

Grieve in the morning, march in the afternoon, dance in the evening.

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for." -Dan Savage

Don't forget to dance.

Truly the cherry on top of my #MAL2026 is meeting two of my community heroes

[radalmostteacher]

"Anita Bryant's Save Our Children campaign... led to other anti-gay initiatives being filed all across the country, including the Briggs Initiative in California, which would have banned gays and lesbians from being teachers, and everyone believed the bigots would win that one too, because the bigots like Anita Bryant, they were on a roll.

But they lost. And it was the fight against the Briggs Initiative that brought Harvey Milk to national prominence...

I bring Bryant up today of all days because we fought her and we won, but we didn't win right away... One of the things I saw on TV that summer in addition to Anita Bryant saying the most hurtful, hateful poisonous thing, were gay men and lesbians defending themselves.

I don't want to put too much of a gloss on this moment. The next four years are going to suck, and they're going to suck worse if we let the news cycle and the man who dominates it drain all the joy from our lives. We need to pay attention. We need to fight the fight, but we need to spend as much time as we can over the next four years with friends and lovers doing the things that bring us joy.

Anyone who tells you that making time for joy is a distraction or a betrayal has no idea what they're talking about. Watching clips of the protests against Bryant it's remarkable how much fun the gays and lesbians at those protests in the 1970s that I saw on TV when I was 11 — it's remarkable how much fun they were having at those protests. And during the darkest days of the AIDS crisis we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.

It didn't look like we would win then. It didn't look like we would win marriage equality in 2004, but we did. Right now it doesn't feel like we can win, but we can." - Dan Savage, https://danielquinn.org/blog/dan-savage-on-the-recent-inauguration/

On Being Different: What it Means to be a Homosexual, by Merle Miller. Foreward by Dan Savage, creator of the It Gets Better Project

[my-emeto-resources]

For this After Action Report, Dan chats with Ember, a life-long sneeze fetishist. She gets turned on when her lovers sneeze, and thus, stocks up on imported sneezing powder. And although she prefers being a sneezing dom, she also delved into submission and share the details.

I don't go there, but I know our communities have a lot of overlap, so I thought I'd share this short interview with Ember about how she in cooperates her kink in her sex life. (Don't be too turned off by the ridiculous sounding episode summary on Spotify.)
