Dan Savage just happened to be at the Shamrock Bar in Madison Saturday night. He and his husband Terry were in town for a nearby family reunion, enjoying a drink in the local gay bar on Main Street. At the same time, Omar Mateen entered Pulse in Orlando with an assault rifle and a handgun, and opened fired in the crowded gay nightclub, killing 49 people and wounding 53.
The latest Savage Lovecast was due to be released in a few days, and Savage says he “couldn't bear the thought” of airing the upbeat introduction of the sex advice podcast that was already in place. In need of a studio, Savage contacted Isthmus to record this response to the mass shooting.
