Dan Savage challenges Ben Carson: ‘Suck my d*ck’ and see if that makes you gay

[kpete]

Gay rights activist Dan Savage called Ben Carson out in his syndicated column this week, challenging the prospective GOP presidential candidate to put his money where his mouth was — so to speak — regarding his views on homosexuality. “If being gay is a choice, prove it,” Savage wrote. “Choose it. Choose to be gay yourself. Show America how that’s done, Ben, show us how a man can choose to be gay. Suck my dick. Name the time and the place and I’ll bring my dick and a camera crew and you can suck me off and win the argument.”

1. Oh No

He didn't!

[Aerows]

2. I may not like Ben Carson

but that is obscene, uncalled for and did more harm than ... whatever good Dan Savage thought it would do.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

3. Did more harm? Sez who?

[Aerows]

11. Me.

Feel free to disagree, but damn. That level of angry discourse isn't necessary.

12. when a politcal hacks wants to take away your human rights you may see things differently nt

[Aerows]

13. I live next door to Alabama

I'd appreciate your information on how I can defend against political hacks as though I'm not already doing so.

You may have responded to me in error, and that is fine.

But if you responded with the idea that I have no idea about political hacks, well, my dear, stand in line. I'll have some iced tea, beans, collards and corn bread while you are waiting to explain what in the f*** you are talking about.

5. I agree. Meeting ignorance and hate with vulgarity plays into the hater's game.

9. It isn't hate and it isn't vulgar

it is taking him at his word. He said that (by implication) he could choose to be gay (that is what being a choice means) and all Savage is saying put up or shut up. If it is a choice then show you can choose it.

10. ....

[Aerows]

15. Here is the problem

It isn't satire for far too many people in the South. Jest, make fun, it's fine, but it is also painful.

[CatWoman]

17. I live in Georgia

and have had more than my share of exposure to bigoted idiots.

[Aerows]

18. No doubt you did.

[CatWoman]

8. Dan did make an excellent point

I liked the way he met obscenity with obscenity.

Seems plenty to go around these days.

[MadrasT]

4. I used to admire Dan Savage.

Anymore, I just find him to be obnoxious.

[Aerows]

16. I think a lot of folks

don't realize how painful it could be.

[dhill926]

6. liked it....

almost Rudeworthy. And this isn't unexpected, Dan can be rightly savage....

[CatWoman]

7. i enjoyed it as well

[Aerows]

14. I love how people that aren't gay

and endure the prejudice we have in the south against gay people, tell us how gay people should feel.

Please, tell me how a lesbian should feel when everybody is cheering for her to lose her virginity to some man she doesn't want in the first place.

[melman]

19. What does that have to do with the OP and Dan Savage?

Nothing. That's what.

[Aristus]

20. Man, that's gonna leave a mark!

For every reason in the world, Ben Carson needs to keep his mouth shut...
