Summary

A woman has been dumped by her boyfriend of 6 years. She is considering some sort of grand gesture to win him back. Should she throw a parade? Hire a lesbian motorcycle gang to deliver one single rose? Or maybe let him go? A 22 year-old gay man has been dating a 58 year-old man for 2 years. His family isn't crazy about this. The caller is beginning to doubt this romance. Like a sharp beam of sunlight slicing through his cloud of confusion, Dan Savage gives him permission to break up. On the Magnum, Dan chats with out n' proud bisexual writer Zachary Zane about the challenges bi men face in meeting and dating straight women. And, a man confronts rape culture as he learns how many members of his own family have endured assault. Total bummer. 206-302-2064 This episode is brought to you by Audible.

So, Hump, my annual porn short film festival kicked off this weekend, last weekend, in Seattle and Portland.

0:32.3

And I was down in Portland to host the hump screenings at Revolution Hall.

0:36.2

It was a blast.

0:37.0

It was so great to see so many people

0:48.6

porn. Porn that really butters your bread. You will know what I mean by that if you have seen Hump

0:54.1

or you plan to see it in the future on the tour coming up. I mentioned Hump on this day of all

1:00.0

days because I spent most of my time at Hump apologizing to the folks in the audience. Because here's

happy to shine a light on accordion porn at Hump this year. And the other prop is,

Make America Great Again hats, about which we feel terrible because so many people last weekend were coming to hump to escape the fucking election to take a break from having to think about the danger our republic is in today Tuesday election, the peril that this country is in because one of our two major political parties has been seized.

2:24.4

That exactly seized.

2:26.5

But let's seize, for lack of a better word right now, seized by a right-wing xenophobic racist, sexist, rapy bigot.

2:34.6

Now, that didn't happen by accident.
