Religious Jackasses

I was surprised you didn’t mention the hilarious article in USA Today about the latest crusade launched by the religious jackasses down there in the United States. Apparently some conservative Christian groups in your country are pressing big hotel chains to drop pay-per-view porn from their in-room amenities. The way things are going, you Americans […]

Skipping Towards Gomorrah

An Excerpt from the New Book about Sin and Politics in America By Dan Savage illustration by Kathryn Rathke

In his new book, Skipping Towards Gomorrah: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Pursuit of Happiness in America, Savage takes […]

But just for the record: Furries don’t like it when some media wag looks down his nose at us and […]

Furry Fury

You cast “furries” in a bad light. Whatever your research indicated, “furries” and “furry fandom” arose out of a love for anthropomorphized (i.e., talking) animals, anything from Yogi Bear to Disney’s Robin Hood to Planet of the Apes. Just about every major science-fiction convention used to have a “furry” party, where people of like interest […]

Furry Friends

When I first starting dating my boyfriend, he told me he was a furry. I didn’t have any idea what he meant, so he explained to me that he really wanted a costume that was basically paws, a tail, and maybe some other catlike features, and he wanted to have sex while wearing this costume. […]
