Dan Savage rips the Pope; Bill Donohue goes apeshit

[marmar]

A religious group are once again fuming over Dan Savage, after video footage that shows the outspoken lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights activist engaging in an "obscene, anti-Catholic" rant that implies gay children are beaten "because of religion" and "attacks" Pope Benedict XVI has surfaced.

"The Pope recently said that gay marriage is a threat to the survival of the human race, because once gay marriage is legal, everybody’s gonna get gat married," Savage says in the clip, which was filmed during his April 29 appearance at Elmhurst College, according to Life Site News. "The Pope is projecting in saying nobody’s straight –- not the Pope, not anybody else."

The audience hoots in response as Savage adds, "What the Pope is saying is the only thing that stands between my d**k and Brad Pitt’s mouth is a piece of paper. I love that thought."

Children "watch their parents beat up gay people from afar with their checkbooks and their votes," he continues. “They feel entitled to beat up that gay kid in that school, because the adults in their lives are doing and giving their blessing to it, because of religion." ...............(more)
