Christianity, Catholicism, Atheism, Dead Moms And Their Gay Sons

Here’s a thoughtful monologue by my favourite editor, columnist and activist that’s funny and thoughtful and sad and true, and might even make you tear up a bit. Dan Savage’s mother passed away on March 31, 2008. She sounds like a hell of a mom.

You can read infinitely more Dan Savage here. He writes books, too. I recommend this one. There isn’t even much swearing in it.

About Stephen Whitworth

Stephen Whitworth is a life-long fan of newspapers and alternative media who got his start in the student press a hundred years ago. He moved to Regina in the fall of 1998 and Prairie Dog recklessly hired him nine months later. It was a terrible mistake and the publication deeply regrets its inability to get rid of him. When Whitworth’s not adding typos to the hard work of Prairie Dog’s many terrific writers, writing hilarious (to him) headlines and finding inventive new ways to make the paper late for its bi-weekly press deadline, he enjoys reading magazines, newspapers and alternative comics, listening to music, playing board games, and drinking and eating. He has a cat and seven pet snakes.
