GOProud Condemns Dan Savage's Anti-Christian Tirade
Jimmy LaSalvia, GOProud Executive Director – "Dan Savage's outrageous anti-Christian tirade hurts – not helps – the fight for gay rights in this country."

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, GOProud – a national organization of gay and straight Americans seeking to promote freedom by supporting free markets, limited government, and a respect for individual rights, condemned a speech given by left wing gay activist Dan Savage. "Dan Savage's outrageous anti-Christian tirade hurts – not helps – the fight for gay rights in this country," said Jimmy LaSalvia, GOProud Executive Director. "There is nothing incompatible between being a Christian and believing that all people should be treated equally, and Dan Savage's attacks on Christianity only fuel those on the extremist fringe who oppose gay rights."

"Dan Savage should apologize for his comments and should apologize to the high school students in attendance who he called 'pansy-asses,'" continued LaSalvia. "It is ironic that someone whose claim to fame is fighting bullying would resort to bullying tactics in attacking high school students who were offended by his outrageous remarks."

"GOProud works with people of faith every single day – gay and straight. We believe strongly that people of faith should be treated with respect," concluded LaSalvia.
