Dan Savage is capable of infecting people with things far worse than the flu.
Does no one remember that? Gary Bauer was running for President and stated something about men having sex with men that Dan Savage did not like. Dan Savage had a severe flu at the time and roused himself from his sickbed and went to Gary Bauer’s headquarters and licked everything he could: cups, pencils, doorknobs — even typewriter keyboards. It is hard to spread a virus that way so Gary Bauer did not get sick, but one of his staffers did and quite severely. She talked about suing Dan Savage. Mr. Savage’s action promotes the stereotypes that one associates regarding men who have sex with men.
