Savage Love

Dan Savage authors a sex advice column in Now. Usually, it's great entertainment. Entertaining to read what people are writing in asking sex advice for, and extremely entertaining to read Savage's blunt advice. Savage Love is usually direct and x-rated. Not a word is spared. Nothing is taboo. This week's column however was slightly different for the last letter it contained. It's a complaint letter in response to one of Savage's previous responses, in which he gives advice to a Saudi man, who was asking if it's OK for him to have a sexual relationship with a 'girlfriend' he's met on the internet. In his response, Savage claims the moral superiority of Canadian society over Saudi Arabia. This letter of complaint, took offense to the Savage's claim. Savage response to the complaint letter is a beautiful thing. Check out it if you wish to read a somewhat conservative Muslim being verbally bitch-slapped by a gay-man. (A conundrum however: what's a Muslim with moral scruples doing, reading the Savage Love advice column? He should be flogged!)
