Dan Savage Calls Gay Conservative Group 'House Faggots' and 'Pathetic' for Endorsing Romney

The blogosphere is abuzz today after anti-conservative bully and gay activist Dan Savage tweeted, “The GOP’s house faggots grab their ankles right on cue...Pathetic” in response to GOProud’s endorsement of Mitt Romney in the 2012 election. 

GOProud, which describes itself on its website as, “the voice of gay conservatives and their straight allies,” voted last night to endorse the presumptive Republican nominee in his bid against Obama in November. Lisa DePasquale, the interim Chair of the Board of Directors issued a statement to the press, saying that the organization is, “prepared to commit significant resources to help make Mitt Romney the next President of the United States.”

Though many liberal Democratic members of the gay community have condemned GOProud on the grounds that the Republican Party has not been a strong supporter of gay rights, this outburst by Savage is especially telling, coming from the founder of the anti-bullying It Gets Better Project.

It Gets Better is intended to “inspire hope for young people” who are bullied because of their sexual orientation. Yet when it comes to fellow gay men and women having different politics than his, well, Savage resorts to harsh attacks that play off racist language -- house n****rs -- that has been used against conservative blacks by liberal African-Americans.

Of course, as we've documented previously, bullying conservatives is Savage's M.O. It's Savage who viciously coined a grotesque sexual term after a former Republican senator and it's Savage who gleefully admits that he tried to spread the flu to Republican campaign staffers by licking the door knobs of their campaign headquarters when he was ill.

Just another "bullying victim"

Submitted by JeffC... on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 4:27pm.

… That makes it okay for him to be a bigger bully. It takes a real man to scream at a bunch of Christian teens at a high school journalism conference.

I called him a "real man.". Is that homophobic?

Makes sense in our surreal world

Submitted by NC Boy on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 4:55pm.

Blacks relish using the "N" word, no doubt in part because non-blacks can't use it. Gays are playing out their own culture. At some point, straight white men may not be left with enough allowable words to be able to communicate.

Ironic

We already knew that minority Republicans face racism from the left, now it turns out that gay Republicans face homophobia from the left. If it wasn't for double standards, the left would have no standards at all.

Submitted by belief101 on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 5:29pm.

So this is what Dan Savage does along with every other liberal; call people names! Hey Dan, does your boyfriend have to put up with your drama? You're a little high maintanence dude! Stop getting your panties in an uproar! Look in the mirror and see a true hater!

I like Savage's organization;

Submitted by Shreve on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 6:05pm.

I like Savage's organization; it seems to help a lot of kids with their issues with same sex attraction and what that sometimes holds in society

But Savage being a bully to those who disagree with him is unacceptable.

So, how's that call for civility working out?

Submitted by CO2Maker on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 6:12pm.

Dan Savage, raging liberal homophiliac. Whew.

And we all know that if a conservative gay man called any liberal gay person a faggot or dyke, we'd hear the hue and cry from every liberal broadcast pore and orifice on the broadcast spectrum.

Gotta love the Liberal

Submitted by LinTaylor on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 6:22pm.

Gotta love the Liberal attitude. You don't have an individual identity; all you are is a member of a group. If you're a woman, black or gay, then you MUST be Liberal because historically those groups have been allied with Liberals. The sad irony is that they love to portray Conservatives as the slaveholders, yet whenever someone breaks away from the Liberal plantation, out come the phrases "Uncle Tom" and "house (insert slur here)".

Of course now I wonder, if a womens' group came out in support of Romney, would Joyless Blowhard or Roseanne Barrbarian call them "house sluts"?

Party of Diversity

Submitted by MikeB on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 7:21pm.

Let me guess: Dan Savage is a member of the Party of Love and Light and Diversity and Inclusiveness. That is, as long as you are a minority that toes the marxist/socialist line and do not commit any thought crimes against the groupthink of the left. If you do that, then you are an Uncle Tom, an Oreo, a House N****r, a Right Wing C**t, or in this case, a "House Faggot". Sorry, Danny boy, you inner fascist is showing through.
We really do appreciate your showing all of America just what your Party really stands for.

I guess this angry faggot is jealous of the more ethical, moral, and conservative Republican homosexuals, because he can't score with them....................so Savage is left to ravage, salvage, and rummage through whoever is left to fulfill his sick and depraved lifestyle.

Mule!

Claiming that the gays' natural home is in the Demoncratic Party is consistent with that Party having a mule for its identifying symbol!
