American Savage: Insights, Slights, and Fights on Faith, Sex, Love, and Politics by Dan Savage

3.0

A lot of it is a rehash of what I've heard on his podcast. There were some nice anecdotes--learning about his mother, son, and partner Terry was great--and well-argued points. It was good to finally hear about what happened during Bigot Christmas, though Terry came off as the most sane person there. I guess I only give it 3 stars because it wasn't the most enjoyable read. I got very frustrated during many of the chapters, especially during the chapter about Obamacare, and don't quite know what to do with these angry feelings. Very weird and oddly appropriate to be reading about it during the government shutdown too, all over something that falls very short of truly getting everyone the health care they need regardless of social status.
