Pride became this dogma which meant you couldn't criticize anything gay - if you were the least bit critical of gay culture or people or any gay person doing any gay thing, that was an insufficient display of pride. You were suffering from internalized homophobia. As opposed to external homophobia.

Dan SavageOne person simply canโt be all things to another person โ sexually or otherwiseโand unmet needs, unfulfilled desire, and unexplored possibilities are prices we pay to be in LTRs (long โterm relationships). Monogamous, polyamorous, Femdom, or whatever: All couples people walk around feeling a little unfulfilled. (Single people, too). Because no one gets everything they want.
Dan SavageStraight couples don't have to be monogamous to be married or married to be monogamous. Monogamy no more defines marriage than the presence of children does. Monogamy isn't compulsory and its absence doesn't invalidate a marriage.
Dan SavageKids are like heroin, a little heroin addiction. When itโs bad, youโve never been so miserable, but when itโs good youโve never been so high.
