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


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.

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.

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.

frick off you uptight, self-righteous, piece of overly-sensitive liberal progressive shite. If you can't see the humor in the Navy naming an oiler for a gay rights activist then you're nothing more than a joyless shitstain.
