Comparing oppressions: still not cool!
Fuck you, Dan Savage.
Oh, no, those scary black people are threatening the nice white gays! (Because there's never any crossover between those two groups, nuh uh.) Let's blame THEM for Prop 8 passing. Not conservative scare tactics. Not the far right. Not fundamentalist Christians. Not the SCARY OLD WHITE DUDES WHO DRAFTED THE GODDAMN THING. Nope, it was all up to black folks and THEY BLEW IT GOSH DARN THEM.
FUCK. YOU.

I'm not saying that there isn't homophobia within the black community that needs to be addressed, just as there is clearly, from your above link, racism in the LGBT community that needs to be addressed. But to try to play dueling oppressions is absolute failsauce.

I swear, everything that comes up lately, they find a way to blame the black community. Bad economy? Well, it's from giving loans to those poor black people who can't pay them back!! Oppression of gays? Well, obviously, black people are totes homophobic, not anyone else, so it's their fault because they all went out to vote! Even the babies!
Please.

Apparently his version of sex-positivity involves having his head in his ass. (Which is okay if you're into that, but is definitely one of my hard limits.)

But that don't mean he's also not an asshole at times. He's the cream of the gay crop and a poster child for white, male and nearly normative enough to be totally vanilla type of "gay" which the HRC loves to embrace because it doesn't scare mainstream America. Blah.

He's like the girl in that nursery rhyme: when he's good he's very very good, and when he's bad he does shit like this and I want to punch him in the throat.
(Except I don't think that's actually how that rhyme ends.)

True enough. He did have a semi decent FTM panelish week where FTMs weighted in about a creepy gay dude who wanted to "fuck [our] hot sexy wetness" or "transguy pie" or something weird (which meant he was a chaser, obviously). And Sherman Alexie guested as advice sounding board once. Only to have Dan ignore anything he suggested. *eyeroll*
But his version of sexy positivity is dubious at best, considering he's probably never been in a situation that would squick him, or, he would allow himself to admit he'd been squicked.
