And the right called the left snowflakes.

The PP’s point is true. Why the push to name military ships after civil rights leaders rather than military heroes? Glad Trump is making this change.

Will you be so glad when it’s renamed The Donald Trump?

It shouldn’t have even named after Milk in the first place, that’s why. He was in a relationship with a 16 year old boy! Nope.

But Trump's relationships with 14 year old girls is perfectly acceptable. Got it.

No one believes that. Sorry. Milk’s relationship is confirmed.

Oh really? “No one” believes that? You’ve polled every single person?

Plenty believe it.

Okay, but removing his name from a ship is an extreme action which is not merited or justified.

They are reviewing other names as well. It seems only white heterosexual males should have this honor.

Why was a true and verifiable description of sex crimes Biden has been accused of deleted from this thread? It's a wee bit late at this point to still be trying to cover for Biden.

Hefseth is just jelly because Milk was gay AND could beat his ass in a fight.

Not true; stop making things up and stop spreading misinformation.

It’s absolutely true that they’re considering other names. Did no one actually read the article?

“According to a senior official familiar with a memo from John Phelan, the secretary of the Navy, they include Thurgood Marshall, the first Black Supreme Court justice; Ruth Bader Ginsburg, another Supreme Court justice, who became a feminist icon; Harriet Tubman, who, after being born into slavery, became an abolitionist instrumental in the Underground Railroad; Lucy Stone, a prominent abolitionist and suffragist; Medgar Evers, a civil-rights leader who was assassinated by a member of the Ku Klux Klan; Cesar Chavez, a labor leader; and Dolores Huerta, another labor leader.”

Randy Shilts outed Harvey Milk as what he was. It is plain stupid to suggest, as whitewashing liberals have, that the well-respected gay historian and activist Shilts, who apparently thought there was nothing wrong with Milk's proclivities, was lying about this. The fact that a pedophile was shot for his sexuality doesn't make him a hero in my book.

That’s funny, because Pedophile Donald Trump was shot in the ear and you idiots made him a hero over that.

Are you suggesting Milk's pedophilia isn't disqualifying because Trump won? Just say you support child rape and spare the irrelevant prattle about Trump.

Trump is a child rapist who is a 34 time convicted felon with multiple bankrupticies and hundreds of millions in civil fines, who was never shot in the ear. You will not win this, because there is no low lower than Trump and this administration.

I'm not trying to win the "which pedophile should I defend" game. That's your lane. Normal people whose moral compass hasn't been compromised by partisanship and fringe sexual ideas know that no pedophile deserves to be honored and one pedophile getting away with his actions doesn't mean we should let the other one slide too. You are creepy as hell.

DP. I despise Trump and damn near everything he stands for with all my fiber, but I am in agreement with this partisanship regarding inappropriate sexual behavior. There should be no whataboutism in this matter. Hopefully the future will judge Trump accordingly and he will receive no favorable acknowledgment and honors. Until that time comes, there is no need to honor a man who history has shown engaged in sexual relations with a minor. Anyone who disagrees should close their eyes and imagine if that 16-year old was their child have sexual relations with a 30+ year old person, male or female. Sounds like grooming.

+1000. It was absolutely grooming and molestation. The gulf between those ages is HUGE developmentally and experience-wise.

Harvey Milk had been out of college longer than the 16 year old's oldest memory and likely longer than the 16 year old had been alive.

The 16 year old would have started puberty no more than 5 years earlier and possibly just a couple years before Harvey Milk started using him sexually.

Any adult having sex with a kid who was in 5th Grade just five years ago is a predator. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Also, Randy Shilts writes at length about how the boy was homeless and prostituting himself for drugs when Harvey Milk picked him up. Imagine how that amplified the age-based power dynamic. Shilts also goes into how Milk had a preference for teenage boys and made a habit of picking up drug-addicted runaways.

You people are kidding yourselves that Milk wasn't a terrible predator. I guess Trump's real offense to you all is that he's a heterosexual predator, not a gay one? WTF.

Yep.

Some half-assed DEI hire removing ACTUAL heroes. It’s disgusting.

Why is Jeff deleting posts that point out that Harvey Milk was a documented pedophile.

The evidence is strong. It includes extensive research by Randy Shilts, a credible, well-respected gay journalist who wrote the definitive biography on Harvey Milk. Shilts devoted a lot of space to Milk's lifelong preying on drug-addicted teenagers because that was part of Milk's brand. He used his work with at-risk homeless youth to find boys who fit his liking and then he would move them into his home and keep them supplied with drugs in return for sex. Shilts named several of Milk's victims and also named Milk's friends and family, who corroborated all of it on the record because Milk was open about his fixation on underage boys and his use of drugs to lure them.

You really think this isn't a relevant consideration in deciding whether to keep Harvey Milk's name on ships?

I hope that you will be as vocal about removing Gaetz and Trump and the rest of the Republican real pedos from office.

I hope that you get help for whatever makes you think distracting from the crimes Harvey Milk committed is the thing to do.
