A presidential medal based on a sex life

When President Obama today awards a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom to Harvey Milk, it may mark the first time in history that the nation's highest civilian award has been granted primarily on the basis of someone's sex life.

As the White House announcement explained, "Harvey Milk became the first openly gay elected official from a major city in the United States when he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977." Yet Milk served in that office for less than a year, so that hardly qualifies him for the Medal of Freedom. Milk was also assassinated in November of 1978. But that cannot qualify him for this award, either – San Francisco Mayor George Moscone was killed by the same assassin the same day, but he will receive no Medal of Freedom. At least lesbian Billie Jean King, who will also be honored by Obama, was a genuine tennis star.

But Milk is famous only for winning one election, being murdered – and having sex with men. In his "gay rights" stump speech, Milk once said, "Like every other group, we must be judged by our leaders and by those who are themselves gay." What can we conclude about the homosexual movement in America based on the life of Harvey Milk? I recently decided to find out by reading "gay journalist" Randy Shilts' 1982 biography of Milk, "The Mayor of Castro Street."

Well, maybe he was really good at doing gay sex, didja ever think of that?

[RexBeach]

This is a joke, right. Someone, please tell this is a joke.

[SJSAMPLE]

Meh.
As long as he’s still dead.

[hellbender]

What’s next? Is he going to bestow the Medal of Freedom on Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn?

[dannyboy72a]

They already did...it was in private.

A presidential medal based on a sex life

Well, I hereby announce that, starting today, I'm going to be training for the gold medal! =^)

Just think about all the straits who won medals. Was it based on their orientation? Certainly not. But we need to really search for a reason to give medals to the freaks so they will stop having those dreadful parades.

Aw, Hell... Don't give him any bright ideas!

Because Dissent was Patriotic, back in those days...

[a fool in paradise]

Yes but who should get it?

Decisions decisions.

[a fool in paradise]

Can't they just give Harvey Milk's family a watch?

[BJClinton]

Well, maybe he was really good at doing gay sex, didja ever think of that?

Not until now, thanks.

[EternalVigilance]

"A presidential medal based on a perverted sex life" would be more accurate.

[RexBeach]

So, this isn’t a joke.

I am positively astonished that this award would go to such a person.

God save us.

[trisham]

I can't believe that this amoral person was elected.

“...I can’t believe that this amoral person was elected....”

Which one, Milk or Zer0? In Milk’s case, we are talking about San Francisco after all. No surpise there. Just wonder how many more “Milk’s” htere are in San Fran politics.

Now, as for Zer0..... .

[trisham]

I was referring to Zero, but I see your point. I could have just as easily been referring to Milk.

[Revolting cat!]

Wasn’t Harvey’s milk chocolate?

[Jeff Chandler]

Harvey Milk’s dry cleaner is the one who deserves a medal.

Why don’t gay men have the same reaction Adam did when he first laid eyes on Eve, which is equivalent to the reaction I have when I look at this picture of bikini girl. It should be, “Whoa! Way to go, God!”
