He didn't voice the character, he played him in the live action version.

He's totally reversed his position on male bisexuals iirc. I mean, a lot of gay men, particularly the older ones, have a thing against bi guys, so I can't say I'm surprised that he once held those views. The important thing is that he no longer holds them and freely admits to the mistakes of his past.
These panels say more about the guy than they do about the Big 3 tbh.

Is he still virulently transmisogynistic?

er, I don't know what that means. >__< I've only been reading him for a few years, but I've never seen/noticed him saying anything negative about trans people. When someone asks him a question about trans issues, he usually passes the question on to someone who is a trans advocate.

Trans people tend to be those that members from all sides of the spectrum are unitedly and openly more bigoted against, unfortunately. It especially bothered me when I met so many gay people that are unashamedly transphobic, but I guess it is naïve of me to expect the oppressed to be more enlightened.

I don't mean to sound dismissive, but of course it is. It's tumblr.
Most of the "Dan Savage is anti bi/trans/asexual/rape victim" links that I could find were all several years old and I don't think people should keep bringing up incidences from 2002 and shit in an effort to, well, savage him. As I said, he's made a lot of strides in the last few years, which I think is very commendable.
In fact, I just listened to a podcast from last year where he was pretty asexual positive, so at the very least people can stop banging on that drum.
The most recent scandal that I could find is from about a year ago where he refused to "taboo-ize" lgbtq related slurs such as "fag, tranny, dike, sissy, etc", and talked about not "needing permission to use certain words" and things like that, which, I think, is less __phobic and more an issue of free speech.

This is from 2013, and if you don't see the issue with, well, all of it, I don't know what to tell you.
Edit: misread, that's 2003, but still, ugh. I believe that he needs to get a handle on using slurs that are often accompanied with real-world violence against trans people. The people fighting for the right to use t-slurs are predominantly not trans themselves...

He's still not good (he's still about bis should be out more, while he's the person with the loudspeaker who doesn't help, and still says 'o rly come back in ten years' to audiences regarding young bi people coming out), though that is actually from 2003.

God has blessed me with this drink from heaven. $2.00's at Chevy's on Wednesdays, amazing.
Dan Savage is a privileged asshole who is occasionally funny. At least he's not Andrew Sullivan I guess? IDK.
Did you just call Grover Norquist cute? I can't. Him and that bullshit tax pledge, ugh. I haven't heard anything about him lately, so hopefully he's not relevant anymore.The guy in the last frame is kinda cute though.
*insert joke about insemination*
You look damn fine. don't worry.
I haven't read read a TT comic book yet, but I'm planning to do so when I got the money to import them. (They are not available here in English)
Young Avengers has beautiful art, a great set of characters (very diverse cast) and the humor is in harmony with the Zeitgeist.
I'm so jealous, Neil Degrasse Tyson is my idol.
Oh yeah I love me some Arrested Development. I wasn't really feeling the new season though.
here's a pic of me and my uncle at the gym.

I feel obligated to mention a little show called 'Battlestar Galactica' (2005) at this very moment in response to this very comprehensive list of certainly commendable shows.
I implore you to binge-watch BSG and add it to your list. Of course, one finds himself required to embrace this gem without preconceptions about its title. But the Pilot/Miniseries should take care of that within a few minutes.
Oh btw, is Carnivale or Boardwalk the better show (or Treme even, who knows)? Not seen any of them but always open to suggestions.
I'm at work yo

I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't acutally done that, despite always hearing good things about it. I guess I'll have to go and breeze through it. Regarding "Carnivale" or "Boardwalk Empire", well, that's really a tough one. Both are of a quite high calibur, both are directed quite admirably, and both are acted in a supremely fitting manner. The issue arises in that "Carnivale" is quite unique in its rather bleak atmosphere that touches every aspect of the show. It also has an extremely complex, dense mythology. Perhaps, most importantly, the cancellation really works against it as some clear potential is lost with unanswered questions and unresolved plotlines. In addition, the polarising nature of the show is unlikely to appeal to all, and while it isn't a major time commitment in comparison to something like "The Shield", it's still a sizeable amount if time if you end up dissatisfied with it. "Boardwalk Empire" is a much more typical show but, personally, it falters in that it never convincingly portrays the atmosphere it wants to me. When a character walks along the beautiful sets, it doesn't 'feel' authentic to me, it feels like a character walking down a set. It's hard to convey what exactly is missing, and what the issue is for me, but there is just something 'lacking' from the show despite it, techically, being very impressive. I recognise that this is a personal issue, even if I've seen it elsewhere, so don't let it deter you too much. The plots are generally well thought out, the characters are both complex (in general) and numerous, and it has a much wider appeal. Overall, while it wouldn't be my favourite by any means, I think "Boardwalk Empire" would be the safer option. Both are definitely worth seeing, but if you like shows such as "The Sopranos" and "The Wire", you really cannot go wrong with "Boardwalk Empire", at the worst you may be lukewarm towards it as I am (where as you could end up hating "Carnivale").
EDIT: I never heard of Ryan Kelly, but he is a really lovely man.

who are you following.
Twitter is like Tumblr but with a 140 characters limit.
And that's why I like it so much. :3
Is there another use for it?

Tumblr's great for the ridiculous deadpan punctuation-less text conversations too, which is primarily what I look for.

Great pics everyone!
Congrats! It's still not what it should be, but it's a step in the right direction, and Croatia joining EU will help LGBT matters hopefully.
