  1. Campaign for "santorum" neologism

    In May 2003, the columnist and gay rights activist Dan Savage held a contest among his readers to create a definition for the word "santorum" in response to then-U.S. Senator Rick Santorum's comments about same sex marriage that included "In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be." Savage announced the winning entry, which defined "santorum" as "the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex". He created a web site, spreadingsantorum.com, to promote the definition, which became a prominent search result for Santorum's name on several web search engines. In 2010 Savage said he would take the site down if Santorum donated US$5 million plus interest to Freedom to Marry, a group advocating legal recognition of same-sex marriages. In September 2011 Santorum asked Google to remove the definition from its search engine index. Google refused, responding that the company does not remove content from search results except in very limited circumstances.
