SANTOM: PRISONER OF THE GAYS

“In every society, the fn of marriage has not ever to my knowledge clud homosexualy, ” Santom said. “That’s not to pick on homosexualy. 3 GOP lear”) said gay marriage “is an issue jt like 9/11.

After he ma wily publicized homophobic remarks, notably parg homosexualy to btialy, the term santom was an vented and spread as an ironic slang term—referrg to a mixture of lube and fel matter that n rult om anal sex—to pillory him.

This posn brought him to higher promence natnal polics—and directed more attentn toward his public statements, cludg his ntroversial 2003 ments on gayns, as we’ll shortly addrs.

Santom remarked: “If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to nsensual [gay] sex wh your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to ct, you have the right to adultery. ” Santom elsewhere claimed that legalizg beg gay would create precent for legal unns such as “man on child” or “man on dog” sex.

In an advice lumn for The Stranger, Savage suggted attachg Santom‘s name to an act or element of gay sex to “memorialize” his homophobic ments.
