Etymology

From the surname of former US Senator Rick Santorum (born 1958).[1] After Santorum made statements comparing homosexuality to bestiality and opining that mutually consenting adults do not have a constitutional right to privacy with respect to sexual acts,[2] US columnist Dan Savage gathered input from his readers and held a contest for definitions to "memorialize the scandal".[3] Savage set up a website which defined the term, and helped to promote it.[4] See Campaign for the neologism "santorum" for further information.

Rick Santorum's surname, in turn, comes from Italian; see Santorum for more.
