Saddlebacking

In 2008-2009, as a response to then President-elect Barack Obama's choice of Rick Warren to give the invocation at Obama's inauguration - and in response to Stephen Colbert's comment that saddleback sounded like a sex act - Savage Love readers were encouraged to vote to define the neologism saddlebacking in reference to Warren's role as pastor of Saddleback Church. Warren and the church supported the 2008 California constitutional amendment Proposition 8, which required the state to recognize only marriage between a man and a woman. The winning definition for saddlebacking was "the phenomenon of Christian teens engaging in unprotected anal sex in order to preserve their virginities".
