savaging the pope
John Paul II had more "no's" for straight people than he did for gays. But when he tried to meddle in the private lives of straights, the same people who deferred to his delicate sensibilities where my rights were concerned suddenly blew the old asshole off. Gay blowjobs are expendable, it seems; straight ones are sacred.
Dan Savage sticks it to the expired Pope, thank goodness. Because someone had to. Much of the media coverage of the man's death came off as dispatches from some fantasy world, where religious figureheads float above earthly reproach, capable only of selfless and saintly deeds.
