VANCOUVER: Transgender Activists Glitter-Bomb Dan Savage Again

Ho hum. More misdirected anger from the Trans Mafia.
Dan Savage was glitter-bombed before his appearance at The Vogue theatre in Vancouver Jan 21, the third such action against the high-profile sex columnist and political commentator in recent months. A group of six activists, who named themselves The Homomilitia for the event, said they confronted Savage as he entered the theatre through a back-alley entrance. In an interview with Xtra after the confrontation, activist Fister Limp Wrist accused Savage of "ableist, racist, transphobic, fat-phobic, sero-phobic and rape-apologist attitudes and views." Activists handed audience members bright pink pamphlets outlining their accusations as they entered the theatre.
How did the usual "gay white male cisgender privilege" phrase not make it into that asinine statement? So disappointing. Savage told the audience: "If you have a disagreement with your allies, you discuss it. You don't attack them." Hello.
