American Savage

American Savage: insights, slights, and fights on faith, sex, love and politics by Dan Savage 301 pg.

This is a collection of essays by Savage about a variety of topics, mostly controversial topics if you are to look at the headlines.  But there are other reflections on his family, his faith, and his life in general that are very personal.  Savage is not one to shy away from an argument about topics he is passionate about.  Somehow that led him to host an activist against marriage rights at his home...for dinner followed by a debate.  I think the reaction of his husband to this crazy idea might be my favorite part of the book.  But I like a lot of parts of this book.  I have always admired Savage and his ability to use logic to make his points.  Hopefully logic is something that will be effective to some bystanders who are undecided or unsure of their beliefs.  Clearly it won't work on some.
