Michael Savage the Homophobic
10.18.2006
There are those that loathe homosexuals, and understandably so, because their acceptance will change various aspects of education, health care, and marriage forever. Always, there are those that fear change, and every generation they label a new problem as a threat to the very foundations of civilization. There will always be those that will condemn those who are different as threatening and, of course, hell-bound. Then there are those that have accepted homosexuality, but cannot yet stomach the idea of them getting married, like any common heterosexual. Michael Savage belongs in the former category, and makes that known nightly around the country when he broadcasts his popular conservative radio show. What is most unfortunate is that a man with a Doctorate, a trained scientist, refuses to acknowledge any possible link between biology and homosexuality. There is no discussion of the studied differences between hetero and homosexual brains of the same sex. There is no admission that homosexuality may be genetic. This is actually surprising, since homosexuality could be portrayed by opponents as a disease that inflicts. But that would be contrary to Savage's nature, I suppose. According to him, most brain diseases, i.e. depression, ADD, autism, are simply the result of laziness. Its no surprise then to find that Savage believes that gay men are the way they are because they reject what is expected of them, i.e. get married and have kids. They are gay because they want to have constant, nightly sex with multiple partners, and know that this wouldn't be possible in traditional monogamous marriage.
I'm not making this up. People are gay because they are irresponsible, according to Savage. They don't want to "be a man," in the traditional sense. Savage is a bit softer on gay women, hypothesizing that perhaps they have rejected men because they "are liars." No where in his ramblings is there any semblence of admission that being gay may in fact be more than just a "lifestyle choice." He doesn't even entertain the possibility. He doesn't mention that gays claim that this is their reality, that they were born this way, and they are just accepting who they really are. And what is most shocking is that Savage, a trained scientist, uses such ludicrous reasoning rather than studying the empirical data that has been collected to try and explain homoesexuality.
But to understand why this is, you have to study Savage himself, who believes all of academia, along with most of the scientific community, is dominated by liberals with connections to some invisible "communist party." I can agree that most professors are liberal, and unfortunately allow it to influence their lectures significantly, but the very nature of science is based on collecting data that can be observed with the five senses and forming a logical conclusion. His condemnations of homosexuality through his attempts at rational musing, or through personal experiences with individual homosexuals, is not only unreasonable, but contrary to the very laws of science that Savage was trained to uphold.
For your own consideration, I present to you exhibits 1, 2, and 3. And I found all of those in one archive. I imagine Savage himself would be afraid to even look for evidence against his own beliefs, which is why I've named this site after him.
