''Savage Love'' is a syndicated sex-advice column by Dan Savage. The column appears weekly in several dozen newspapers, mainly free newspapers in the US and Canada, but also newspapers in Europe and Asia. It started in 1991 with the first issue of the Seattle weekly newspaper ''The Stranger''. Since October 2006, Savage has also recorded the ''Savage Lovecast'', a weekly podcast version of the column, featuring telephone advice sessions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dan Savage )〕 Podcasts are released every Tuesday. Since 2002, he has written the column at Eppie Lederer's desk, which he, a "lifelong fan" of her Ann Landers column, bought at auction after the noted advice columnist died. == History == In 1991, Savage was living in Madison, Wisconsin, and working as a manager at a local video store that specialized in independent film titles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GLBTQ Literature: Dan Savage )〕 There, Savage befriended Tim Keck, co-founder of ''The Onion'', who announced that he was moving to Seattle to help start an alternative weekly newspaper titled ''The Stranger''.〔 Savage "made the offhand comment that forever altered () life: 'Make sure your paper has an advice column—everybody claims to hate 'em, but everybody seems to read 'em'."〔Dan Savage, Introduction, ''Savage Love: Straight Answers from America's Most Popular Sex Columnist'' (New York: Plume, 1998), p. 2.〕 Savage typed up a sample column, and to Savage's surprise Keck offered him the job.〔(Dan Savage interviewed by Tasha Robinson ), ''The A.V. Club'', February 8, 2006.〕〔Dan Savage, Introduction, ''Savage Love: Straight Answers from America's Most Popular Sex Columnist'', op. cit., pp. 1–5.〕 Savage stated in a February 2006 interview in ''The Onion''s ''A.V. Club'' (which publishes his column) that he began the column with the express purpose of providing mocking advice to heterosexuals, since most straight advice columnists were "clueless" when responding to letters from gay people.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Savage Love」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
