Dan Savage is a Tard

posted Friday November 13th, 2009

I hesitate to post this link, because I hate to see The Stranger get more web hits — not because it’s not a good paper, but because something like this shouldn’t be a windfall.

But I’m sure it’s already been hitsville for Dan Savage & Co. over at the Seattle alt weekly (no relation to the chain that runs my paper) this week, after they posted a rendition of The Last Supper painting that depicts the characters as having Down syndrome.

That’s the not the part that has readers so upset. It’s the headline Savage slapped on the post: “The Tard Supper.”

Enough said. Unless you aren’t familiar with Dan Savage – a guy who, ironically, makes his living by advocating for another often-disenfranchised group in our society. That part you need to know about.

Thank you to Maya for sharing.

One Response to “Dan Savage is a Tard”

  1. Saw it and he should be ashamed. However, he is unrepentant and seems just interested in hits.
