Campaign for "santorum" neologism

The '''[[w:Campaign for "santorum" neologism|campaign for "santorum" neologism]]''' was initiated by American columnist and gay rights activist [[Dan Savage]] in 2003 to associate the surname of then-Senator [[Rick Santorum]] with a sexual act. He created a website called "Spreading Santorum" to promote the definition, which became a prominent search result for the senator's name on several search engines.
