Like a Sean Cody video, Dan Savage has his balls on display this week in his aggressive attack on hate group leader Tony Perkins. After Tony responded to Dan's insta-viral quote about the Family Research Council sitting "on a pile of dead gay kids every day," the FRC head hinted possible legal action. The veiled threat only added fuel to Dan's flame, provoking him to say "Bring it on, bitch," (in not so many words).
Read what Dan has to say to Tony's threat of a lawsuit after the jump!

In an attempt to copy + paste Malaysia's "Warning Signs of Homosexuality" into American culture, hate group leader Tony Perkins is telling parents not to condone the "lifestyle behavior" of homosexuality.
Who wants to send Tony to Malaysia already? (Though the government there probably doesn't even want him...)

That's why 200 Ph.D.s and M.D.s and a new petition are demanding that Social Science Research, the publication which published the flawed, NOM-linked study, apologize and retract Regnerus's work.
Details follow.
