Savage is an American author, media
pundit,
journalist and newspaper
editor.
Savage writes the internationally syndicated relationship and sex advice column
Savage Love. Its tone is frank in its discussion of sexuality, often humorous, and hostile to
social conservatives and
Rick Santorum's views on homosexuality. Savage has clashed with
cultural conservatives on the right, and the gay establishment, on the left. He has also worked as a theater director, both under his real name and under the name
Keenan Hollahan, using his middle name and his grandmother's maiden name.
In 2010, Savage and his husband Terry Miller began the
It Gets Better Project to help prevent
suicide among LGBT youth.
