Dan Savage writes a sex advice column called "Savage Love" that appears online and in lots of alternative newspapers. From a recent column:

Q. In your "Advice to 15-Year-Old Gays and Lesbians," Small Town Diva suggested that gay boys and girls join theater groups because even the "strait" actors are bi. This has got to be one of the oldest stereotypes in the book. I'm a strait actor. While I do meet more gay people than someone in another profession would, I still have more strait actor friends than gay actor friends. If you're gay and want to be an actor, great. But if you're gay and expect every actor you meet to be gay too, just move along, please. -- A STRAIT ACTOR

A. It's been my experience that most straight people can spell the word straight. But, hey, thanks for sharing, Tom, and give my love to Katie.

I wonder if he'll get a letter from Bert Fields.

-- Dave
