Party stores must be running out of glitter: First Rick Santorum got splashed by Occupy Charleston members Saturday at a primary rally. Then, just a few hours later Dan Savage got glitter-bombed by trans activists at an appearance in Vancouver.This is the third time Savage has been bombed, compared to Santorum's two. Does he have slower reflexes or something?
Canadian gay paper Xtra reports that six members of a group calling itself Homomilitia were behind the rainbow raid. Activist Fister Limp Wrist accused Savage of "ableist, racist, transphobic, fat-phobic, sero-phobic and rape-apologist attitudes and views."
Really, you're gonna take the P.C. high ground with a name like Fister Limp Wrist?
I do think the author has good points. I actually feel a little bad. I may have been overly harsh in my judgments of him. I honestly haven't consumed much of his material to know much more than those out-of-context snippets.
