Harvey Milk was a good guy and did a lot for the gay community in SF. But I don't understand why he's getting a ship named after him.

Mabus has said the John Lewis-class – named after civil rights activist and congressman Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) – would be named after civil rights leaders.
Other names in the class include former Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren whose court ruled to desegregate U.S. schools, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, women’s right activist Lucy Stone and abolitionist and women’s rights activist Sojourner Truth.
Mabus has also named ships in the past for other civil rights icons, including the Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ships USNS Medgar Evers (T-AKE-13) and USNS Cesar Chavez (T-AKE-14).
Milk came from a Navy family and commissioned in the service in 1951. He served as a diving officer in San Diego during the Korean War on the submarine rescue ship Kittiwake until 1955. Milk was honorably discharged from the service as a lieutenant junior grade.

Annnnd this is why I should read the article before I run my mouth! Upon further review, I'm okay with Milk having a ship named after him.

Imagine not being able to marry the person you love. Imagine having to hide your love for another person. Imagine being ridiculed for your love for someone.
Then, imagine being shot to death at work by a deranged political rival.
Milk lost his life trying to do good for his peers. He supported business owners that tried to enrich the place in which he lived.
frick Darth Vader for trying to minimalize him.

I do find it funny they decided to name after a gay rights activist a boat that runs a hose into other boats and fills them full of its fluids.

Sure, all of that. And Dan White basically got away with murder. The "Twinkie Defense", seriously?
(Sidenote: My brother-in-law knew White. He says he was a good guy. Up until he murdered Moscone and Milk, I guess...)
But if a class of ships wasn't being named after civil rights activists, he doesn't make the cut. Still a good guy, but no ship name.

Yes, it will be a typical Navy ship.

Define the cutoff line, Roach. What is ship-worthy?

Imagine society being based around natural law.
Marriage wasn't instituted for two men. Nobody even contemplated it until a few years ago because it doesn't make sense. It's not necessary for the expression of love.
The lack of marriage isn't why gays were unfulfilled.
Y'all won the culture war. Now you get to watch the culture die, and you'll still find "bigots" to blame your troubles on, right up until the pendulum swings all the way back to the other side and gays are being thrown off of buildings in the west like they already are in the ME.
