I’m not speaking for Dan, but I have a feeling the answers are “Hahaha,” and “No.” Here is what Porno Pete has to say. I went ahead and added the “Santorum” links, because I guess Pete forgot them.
Today, I appeal to homosexual activist Dan Savage: take down your anti-Rick Santorum hate-site, Santorum.com.
Admittedly, it seems ludicrous to appeal to man who would go to such hateful lengths to sabotage religious conservatives that he would intentionally try to give a Republican presidential candidate a cold (Gary Bauer, 2000), or use Google to demonize an opponent in such a despicable way. Nevertheless, I make the appeal because bullying is bullying, and it must stop.
We get it, Dan, you HATE Rick Santorum, and you want to punish him for comments he made about the Supreme Court’s decision legalizing sodomy. But as a prolific writer and advocate, surely you have abundant opportunities to address Santorum’s arguments civilly — without resorting to cruel, twisted campaigns designed to destroy a man’s name and reputation by associating it with perversion.
“Santorum.com” (like its malevolent cousin, “Spreading Santorum”) is advanced cyber-bullying, pure and simple. You are a role model for “gay” youth, and your “It Gets Better” video campaign to help kids overcome bullying in their teen years has gained international attention. Yet bizarrely, with apparent ends-justifies-the-means rationale, you yourself have employed heinous bullying methods to malign Mr. Santorum – tactics you would strongly condemn if used against a self-identified “gay” kid. [AFTAH opposes all bullying of youth without regard to special criteria; we disagree with the “It Gets Better” campaign because it seeks to normalize homosexuality and celebrate immoral LGBT identities.]
Is this the lesson you want to teach young people? That if they encounter a person who disagrees with homosexual behavior, it’s OK to use the slimiest tactics imaginable to go after that person?
You and your homosexual partner have an adopted son. What did or will you tell him about Santorum.com? Have you no compassion for Rick Santorum’s wife, children and extended family, who too must bear the brunt of your high-tech smear?And to the media I ask this: please hold Dan Savage and his homosexual and liberal supporters accountable for this heinous and malicious web slander. Stop joking about it, and do not act as if Rick Santorum’s “Google problem” just appeared out of nowhere. This is calculated character assassination engineered by a “gay” activist who, ironically, crusades against hate. Do not reward Savage with media appearances. In fact, treat him as you would, say, a deranged, far-right activist who had created “BarbaraBoxer[dot]com” and “redefined” her name in a similarly evil manner.
Anyway. No comment because it’s like shooting fish in a barrel.










So, petey, weas dan crusading against hate when he went after santorum?
Sorry Porno Pete — but that a*****e started and currently WAGES this WAR on us. he is out to Annul our marriages, deny us rights, repeal the repeal of DADT, etc … so f**k Dick Santorum!
I’m impressed that Dan was able to buy the rights to that website name before one of frothy’s supporters got to it. It just shows how on the balls we gays are. ;)
Porno f*****g Pete wants to appeal to civility? Seriously?
I could give a s**t what Santorum’s kids will have to deal with long after their dad is worm food. I’m guessing, like many of the Phelps/LaBarbera offspring, they’ll change their names at 18 and never speak of their twisted fathers again.
To be clear, Santorum supports reinstating “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and to begin kicking gay and lesbian soldiers out of our armed forces again. He wants to revise the constitution specifically to deny gay people access to the rights guaranteed by the 14th Amendment and to annul existing marriages if the couple is gay. Kind of seems like a war on gay people. How should we respond? How would you respond if someone wanted to fire you and forcibly divorce you? What would you do to protect your family?
I love when idiots like Pete try to play down anti-gay positions as “disagreements”. Santorum equated gay relationship to sex with dogs. That’s not a “disagreement”, it’s bigotry, plain and simple.
Maybe when Santorum stops being such a horrible person, then Dan Savage will take the site down.
Which will no doubt be never, going by what Santorum keeps saying.
Now I’ve seen everything: Peter LaBarbera appealing to someone who he has waged a smear campaign against to show compassion! Peter LaBarbera is a compassionless a**hole who has apparently gone off his meds. Absolutely hilarious.
I thought Dan offered to take the site down and also do his best to reverse the damage, if only Rick Santorum would apologize and make a nominal donation to a actual (not a phony or pretend) anti-bullying charity. Rick has refused. He has the power to end this already.
And no one else sees the irony that Savage uses a byproduct of a gay activity to make people feel disgusted?
@Andrew- it doesn’t actually have to be gay.
Oh and Santorum only happens when you do it wrong. Really wrong.
Yeah, REALLY, REALLY, wrong. Quit trolling Andrew, or we’ll tell your mother and she’ll wallop you.
0_0 seriously? The definition made it sound a lot more common. Who knew XD. And PJB863, save the insults for your first grade classmates.
But you gotta admit the average person would probably connect the act with the mess and assume it to be normal…unless the world is a much more disgusting place than i’ve known it to be…I’m going to bed.
Wow, Pete. Call the kettle black much?
even if Dan did take it down, it wouldn’t help. Its pretty much a part of the american sexual slang now.
Porno Pete says: “That if they encounter a person who disagrees with homosexual behavior…”
His skull is simply too thick to comprehend that homosexual behavior is not something that one can “disagree” with. Homosexual behavior is what homosexuals do. It is how they love. It is how they experience life in a meaningful, satisfying, and fulfilling way. A person saying he or she “disagrees with homosexual behavior” is as idiotic as saying, “I disagree with air.” Or “I disagree with eating.”
If a person does not breathe he or she quickly dies. If a person does not eat, the death takes longer than not breathing. If a gay person denies his or her true self it is an emotional and spiritual death that will likely manifest itself physically over time.
Breathing, eating, and human connection are all essential to being human for most people and critical to healthy living. We are social animals that need intimacy and love. What Porno Pete and others of his lowly ilk demand is that we deny our basic humanity and die a slow, painful social death. No thanks, Porno Pete. Not happening.
Your kind had a good run during the Dark Ages and Middle Ages. The Enlightenment came, people began to think for themselves and expressed logic and reason. Porno Pete’s life is a total waste. He will never put the Enlightenment genie back in the bottle, no matter how often he tweets hate messages to his five dumb and demented followers. Too many people simply know too much to return to the intellectual savagery and barbarism that Porno Pete and his cohorts demand.
This is the core of Porno Pete’s message: “I read an ancient book that says you are inferior and I am superior. Therefore, I get to experience joy, pleasure, and love in this lifetime and you don’t. When you attempt to have a fulfilling, meaningful life I will insult you, lie about you, and work to pass laws to punish you in my effort to please my version of God. You have no business refuting these lies and slanders and when you do I will throw a tantrum, whine, and call you mean and wicked. I will play victim, even as I tirelessly work the bathhouse and leather event scene in an effort to distort your lives, denigrate your relationships, and demean your existence. I am wholesome and going to heaven. You are scum and going to hell. P.S. I love you.”
Sorry, Porno Pete. You are not superior to me as a human being. Your marriage is not superior to mine. You are not more entitled to love and sexual intimacy than I am. Your twisted and perverted version of the Bible is fake and means less than nothing to thinking people — including atheists, agnostics, mainstream Christians, and normal people of all faiths.
It’s time to get a real job and a real life. Do something productive before your kids and grandchildren grow up ashamed of you.
Andrew– check CDC statistics, and you will find that anal sex rate for heterosexuals is around 40%.
What that means is this: gay people are about 3-4% of the population, so gay men are 1.5-2% of the population. That means that heteros having anal sex are currently 20 TIMES the numbers of gay men, about 1/2 of whom have anal sex.
Maybe you should talk to your hetero brothers
WOW, well said Wayne!
Sorry Ben, but if that was the case than 60% of new HIV cases wouldn’t be spread by gay men. And most people automatically associate anal sex with homosexuality and not heterosexuality. Heterosexual sex is usually thought of as using the front parts. So Savage’s definition of Sanatorum may not be the best one to use for his “ultimate goal for homosexual rights.”
P.S. Is savage his real name, or did he change it to sound cooler? I’ve heard of weird last names before, but savage just seems a little out there.
Some things really deserve to be repeated. Wayne Besen said:

Andrew– you can argue with the CDC if you like.
The figure is actually near 50% of new cases. But only 13%– another CDC figure– of gay men have HIV. And of course in the rest of the world, heteroseuxal sex using the front parts is what spreads HIV.
but more to the point, HIV is caused by a virus, not anal sex.
“I just love how innocent the phrase “a person who disagrees with homosexual behavior” if thats only what Porno Petey and his buddies do.
Emma, perhaps a more accurate term (something LaBarbera is not familiar with) would be “a person who loudly, obnoxiously, and in a shrill manner objects to homosexual behavior in others whom he does not know and with whom has no relationship.”
Throw in something about the fact that not everyone shares his religious beliefs or even cares much about them, and you might have something approaching accuracy.
Yeah, for Porno Pete, disagreeing is also known as screaming “WAHHHHHH I HATE YOU!” as loudly as he can from within a bathhouse.
Rick Santorum started this by opening his anti gay bigoted mouth and now he has gotten into an interesting predicament now that he’s running for Pres, I don’t think that anyone will be able to take this guy seriously at all–and we hear that his Google problem may have doomed his 2006 bid for Senator again.
He compared MY relationship to my partner–A HUMAN BEING with consent–to a dog! How am I supposed to feel that he wants to annul my marriage? (I am not currently married but I want the option) I will forever be in Dan Savage’s corner on this one because if it had been the other way around, the righties would be loving it…only that they’re not creative enough to do it
Also…why does Andrew think only gay people have anal sex. I have heard of straight guys who like it and some women who use it as a method of birth control….just sayin’
Ben, it’s 61%, read this if you don’t believe me, but 50% is still outrageously high for only 2% of the population.

And the HIV virus travels best through anal sex, which is why more than 50% of new cases are among MSM, which leads me to say that anal sex is done more by gays than straight people, which finally circles back to Savage’s web site making anal (or gay sex) look bad. Glad we’re back on topic.
I have a feeling the answers are “Hahaha,” and “No.”
There’s a Trope For That
