Dan Savage is an American sex advice columnist, author, media pundit, journalist and newspaper editor. Savage is known for penning the internationally syndicated relationship and sex advice column Savage Love. Its tone is frank in its discussion of sexuality, often humorous, and frequently hostile to social conservatives, as in the Santorum controversy. Savage, who is openly gay, has often been the subject of controversy regarding his opinions that pointedly clash with both those of traditional conservatives, and those put forth by what Savage has been known to call the "gay establishment." He has also worked as a theater director, both under his real name and under the name Keenan Hollahan, using his middle name and his grandmother's maiden name. (From Wikipedia)
