Dan Savage has come under major fire over the past two weeks following an inappropriate speech he gave to high school journalism students. But a separate story that has gone somewhat underreported occurred in the days following that controversy, during an address Savage gave at Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, Illinois, on Sunday.
During his speech, Savage and a conservative activist apparently got into a debate — one that caused the activist to be kicked out. Additionally, the controversial founder of the “It Gets Better” campaign made some comments about the Pope that some may find generally unappealing.
Savage was apparently invited by the college to address students about his “It Gets Better” campaign. An announcement on the Elmhurst web site promoted the free and public event. While the college is saying that that the talk went off without a hitch, Peter LaBarbera, the founder of the group Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (an organization that works to expose the so-called “radical homosexual agenda”) has a very different view.
LaBarbera has called the discussion crude and inappropriate. On the flip side, Elmhurst spokeswoman Desiree Chen says that it was a success that included ”a great mix of people of all ages.” According to the college, 1,200 people showed up to the event.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. LaBarbera also claims he was unfairly removed from the event after questioning Savage and his past tactics. Here‘s what CNS News’ Lauren Thompson reported earlier this week:

I believe Gays SHOULD be given all the rights of streights EXCEPT the word marriage. They are born men and women but because of a mutated gene are gay. but they ARE born that way. I just do not understand bi-sexual.
IF they didn’t demand using the word “marriage” They would have had all their rights but they want to push marriage down our throats. Call it something else. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Call it togeatherness or anything . Just NOT marriage.
And this speaker is koo-koo. Streight men and women will NEVER turn gay unless they were born with the gay gene.
Where did they get more than a dozen bozos to listen to this repulsive projector? Oh, it was a ‘liberal arts’ college on a Sunday. I see. I went to one of those…
Any place or anyone who invites this Sick Animal to come and speak to anyone should be boycotted forever!
Once Obama and all his Czars and Homo.loving appointees are removed from Washington the sooner wild Animals like this can be HUNG!
Nonsense… There is nothing in any Constitution that protects perverts. His life style is a perverted life style, and it doesn’t matter how many speeches he gives it will not change a thing.
To believe there is a gene for homosexuality in nonsense, there si no homosexual gene. If homosexuality were genetic then how do you account for the many organizations crated to help homosexuals return to a normal life style? How do they account for the fact that Anne Heck left her lesbian lover to marry a man?
He is a lier and a fool…
Pastor John Hagee, Cornerstone church in San Antonio TX said this
If God does not judge America, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Truer words were never spoken.
