Recently a letter ran from a man, Pissed, who felt I wasn’t qualified to give advice to breeders because I, Dan Savage, am not a breeder. I am a fag, and what could a fag possibly know about breeders, breeder sex, breeder mores, etc, etc? I told Pissed I was more qualified to comment on heterosexuality than the average homo-ignorant breeder is to comment on homosexuality. I probably know more about breeders than Ann Landers will ever know about queers, for example, yet Ann has been offering advice to unhappy homos since the Spanish-American War. Nobody ever tells Ann to go out and eat herself some pussy before she advises lesbians about their sex lives, do they? No, they do not. Well, Pissed’s letter touched some nerves, because the mail has been pouring in. Here’s a sample:

Homos shouldn’t give heteros advice? If it’s wrong for a person from one group to tell another group what to do, perhaps Pissed thinks it’s equally wrong for hets to make laws that affect homos. Where do men get off making laws that affect a female’s reproductive rights? Perhaps Pissed should also write a letter to the pope, that 12-language-speaking Polish guy who tells lots of monolingual non-Poles what to do. Go after some of those overweight, old, straight, white, rich males making laws in Washington, D.C., and leave Dan alone.
Hey, ACU:
Pissed: Get out of your hole. Better yet, stay in it and keep your piss with you.
Hey, Faggot:
Gay people insensitive?! We are so sensitive! In fact, my female friends tell me that all the time. “Dan,” they say, “you are so sensitive.”
Hey, DF:
