San Francisco Catholic Parish to be Site for Re-Design of Harvey Milk Plaza
California Catholic Daily ^ | 1/19/18

Posted on 01/22/2018 6:12:49 PM PST by marshmallow

Meetings will be held at Most Holy Redeemer parish hall to discuss plans for site named to honor slain gay crusader

The Friends of Harvey Milk Plaza is entering the next phase of the project to re-imagine the space above the Castro Muni station named for the gay slain supervisor and has announced dates for community meetings.

Last year, the Friends group conducted a design competition, and an architectural team led by Perkins Eastman of San Francisco was announced as the winner and selected as the firm to partner with as the project enters its next phase.

The first meeting will be held Saturday, January 27, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall at Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, 100 Diamond Street. Additional meetings will be held March 3, and April 7, at the same time and location.

“This is an opportunity of a lifetime to acknowledge Harvey Milk Plaza for the sacred place it is and the role it has played in the history of the LGBT civil rights movement,” Greg Cassin, a longtime AIDS activist, said in a news release from the Friends group, where he volunteers on the steering committee.

Couldn't they find a more appropriate location, like a gay bathhouse, or public park restroom?

And spare me the Catholic Priest lines, as if there aren't child molesters in other religions.

Harvey Milk, famous only for having been a politician who was into same-sex buggery.

Given the leanings of the current occupant of the Vatican, I'm sure old Pope Frankie probably approves.

“as if there aren’t child molesters in other religions.”

Forget priests and other religions - public schools are the big place for predators.

Holy Redeemer is the big “gay” parish in SF. They’ve had one radical nutcase after another there...it’s in a former ghetto area that then gentrified and gayified. The priests were first (white) black leftist loonies, and then became gay leftist loonies. The Archdioces of SF has been insane and leftist for at least 50 years, and dysfunctional and governed by alcoholics before that.

Their current archbishop is basically good, but since Francis got in, he’s fallen silent on most things except “migrants” and everything is still out of control.

Yeah Francis is working overtime to be the anti-Christ of the Catholic church. God help, but I wish he would stroke out.

He was a Jim Jones promoter who was killed by the guy he cheated.

BUT because he stuck his member in various other males butts they put up a memorial to him.

If Milk really molested children, a church is a doubly inappropriate place to plan things concerning him. (Since he was gay, it was already singly inappropriate.)
