“Rick Santorum + gay”
In 2003, then-Sen. Rick Santorum ignited a firestorm when he grouped same-sex relationships with “man on dog” relationships. To strike back, sex columnist Dan Savage launched a campaign to name a sex term after Santorum. The winning entry: “the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.” Eight years later, it’s still the top search result for “santorum.”
On the left, Savage advertises Google’s role in linking the politician with the sex act. Santorum speaks on the right.
