Savage Territory
Writing about sex got him noticed, but
Dan Savage has made many contributions to the cultural landscape and to the LGBT community. He currently serves as editorial director of
The Stranger, Seattle’s alternative newspaper, having written numerous magazine pieces and books. With his husband, Terry Miller, he created the It Gets Better Project, a movement designed to give hope to LGBT youths who have been bullied and are considering suicide. He also, of course, pens “Savage Love,” his popular sex-positive advice column. Clearly, this man has lots to talk about, and locals can hear him speak in person when he appears in conversation with author Michelle Tea. Topics will include Savage’s most recent book,
American Savage. The evening benefits the 826 Valencia project.
