Summary

A woman discovered that her boyfriend cheated on her. How did she know? He washed his own sheets for the first time EVER. When confronted, (after lying at first,) he said that men need variety and monogamy is unnatural. Is this correct? A man and his husband now live apart because one of them didn’t want to live in the cold, dark, rainy Pacific Northwest. But they still love and miss each other so much. The caller feels like his house is a museum of their love, with objects everywhere to remind him of his man. Should he sell the house and move on? On the Magnum, Dan lures the delightful stand-up comedian Gianmarco Soresi, to give his straight male perspective on dating whilst famous and…dick picks. And, a sex worker has a boyfriend who disapproves of her job. He started seeing another woman because he claims it’s the only way he can stomach his girlfriend’s profession. The caller agreed to let him see both of them, so long as the other woman knew about her. When the woman found out, she dumped the lad, leaving him seething with anger. Now the caller wonders…who is the asshole? There are going to be a few more single men after this show comes out… voicemail@savagelovecast.com 206-302-2064 Today’s Lovecast is brought to you by MeUndies.com: High quality, super-comfortable, good looking undies.

0:00.0	You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast at savage.love.
0:05.0	If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,
0:14.5	well, there's nothing you can't ask on the savage love cast.
0:22.8	Well, shit.
0:24.5	Just as the bulwarks Tim Miller predicted when I had him on to talk about Florida's
0:27.8	don't say gay bill, which is now Florida's don't say gay law, that shit is spreading.
0:33.3	NPR reported over the weekend that don't say gay bills have been proposed now in more than a dozen states.
0:39.3	The American right wing, the religious right, is currently, well, the mainstream right, really, trying to reframe being out as gay to kids.
0:48.3	To your students, if you're a teacher, to your own kids, if you're a parent, to your neighbor's kids, if you're a person who lives in an
0:54.8	apartment or a house or anywhere other than a gated compound, being out to kids is grooming.
1:01.2	The poisonous reasoning here, the argument that's going to get queer people killed goes like
1:06.7	this. Knowing gay people exist, someone telling a kid they're in a same-sex relationship,
1:11.8	means telling that kid all about gay sex. And there's only one reason you would tell a kid
1:17.9	about gay sex. It's a lie, of course. Of course, it's a lie and they know they're lying.
1:25.0	But let's take the lie at face value for a second, because this may be the quickest way to show
1:29.9	that straight people, particularly straight parents, know this is a lie.
1:35.0	Basically, it comes down to something all married straight parents kind of already know about
1:38.9	their own little kids.
1:40.2	They know their young kids, know their parents, their straight parents, have a special
1:45.1	relationship.
1:46.5	Kids know mom and dad are, hopefully, fond of each other in a unique way.
1:52.9	Long before kids know what sex is, they know what romantic love is.
