Dan Savage comes to University of Oregon

If someone could be a national icon because of sex alone, it’s Dan Savage. He’s a renowned sex advice columnist (his column is featured in the Eugene Weekly, as well as other publications across the nation) who’s best known for his quick, witty advice to whatever sexual or romantic questions one might have.

So, it’s probably no surprise that tickets to his show “Savage Love Live” at the University of Oregon were sold out within three days after they went on sale.

Worried that your kinky fetish is abnormal? Savage makes you feel at ease. Want to know whether or not you should explore your sexuality or stick to your partner? He’d probably recommend exploring. Dan Savage doesn’t hold back when it comes to sex. And he didn’t hold back when he came to the University of Oregon, either. He even gave a “sex talk” to the Emerald. His advice for college students when it comes to sex? Don’t waste that time when you’re young and hot.

Oregon legalized same-sex marriage

It was bound to happen eventually. The question was varying: When? When would it be legal for people of sexual identities to marry one another in Oregon? On May 19, the question was answered when Oregon became the 33rd state in the United States to legalize same-sex marriage. Crowds of same-sex couples filled courtrooms all over the country, hand-in-hand, eager to confirm their union with the state – a union that, for some, had lasted as long as decades. The couples filled the courtroom in Lane County that day and thereafter. It’s a step in the LGBTQ* movement that will make history forever – a day that no one will likely forget.

It may have been a long time coming, but, hey, at least Oregon wasn’t the last.
