Dan Savage on "Gay Friends"

Perfect:

Is it really possible that these raving anti-gay bigots have more gay friends between them than I do? I somehow doubt it. So reporters should stop taking this "but I've got gay friends!" on faith. Anti-gay politicians, entertainers, and preachers shouldn't be allowed to take rhetorical cover behind gay friends if they're unable to produce any.

So you've got gay friends? Great. Bring 'em to a press conference—we've got some questions we'd like to ask them.

Via Sullivan.
