Dan Savage writes the internationally syndicated relationship and sex advice column “Savage Love.” Savage, who is gay, has been outspoken in his support for gay rights and his hostility for social conservatives
In May 2003, sex columnist and gay rights activist Dan Savage held a contest among his readers to create a definition for the word “santorum”, as a response to comments by then-U.S. Senator Rick Santorum during an interview with the Associated Press that had been criticized as anti-gay. Savage announced the winning entry, which defined “santorum” as “the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.” He created a web site, spreadingsantorum.com (and santorum.com), to promote the definition, which became a prominent search result for Santorum’s name on several web search engines.
In 2010 Savage offered to take the site down if Santorum donated US$5 million to Freedom to Marry, a group advocating legal recognition of same-sex marriages. In September 2011 Santorum asked Google to remove the definition from its search engine index. Google refused, responding that the company does not remove content from search results except in very limited circumstances
In a July 2011 video on Funny or Die, Savage proposed to redefine Santorum’s first name if Santorum did not stop criticizing homosexuality. In his August 17, 2011 column, Savage observed that “Santorum hasn’t laid off the gay bashing, as it’s all he’s got,” and endorsed a reader suggestion to re-define “rick” as a verb.

Yep, he's a hater. I'm sure if some Tea Party member acted the same toward some gay guy that the New York Times, Washington Post and FOXNews would ignore it ... /s
