"...Milk was not exactly a pedophile--which is sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children. He was, though, an ephebophile--attraction to underage post-pubescent youngsters. In addition to enjoying the bathhouse scene that created the AIDS crisis, Milk's longer-term relationships were with very young men, most notably a 15-year-old boy..."

A difference without a distinction.

Milk was a rapist of young boys.

Do gays really want to celebrate a rapist of gay boys?

Worst of all, he supported the Communist mass-murderer Jim Jones.

DEMOCRATS celebrate Harvey Milk

Sean Penn played him in a movie (2008)

Had to look up the release date 📅

Milk was a pedophile freak elevated to sainthood by his (and Moscone’s) murder which was brilliantly manipulated by a then unknown Dianne Fienstein as a stepping stone to being a U.S. Senator.

Quick summary to share:

activist who went to war against Anita Bryant
over the Homosexual Agenda

In 1977, another homosexual attacked
Anita Bryant with a pie 🥧 to her face

In 1994, that homosexual attacker died of AIDS at the age of 44.

Anita Bryant died December 16, 2024 in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Anita Bryant was 84 years old.

A lot of us who lived in California when he was killed have always been puzzled by his national status and national glorification.

Homosexuality seems to be a life-shortening choice.

Exactly…how does anyone know if the 15 yr old boy Milk was preying upon was post-pubescent? Many do not hit puberty until 16 or 17

The ONLY things Harvey Milk was famous for is he was queer as a $3 bill and was murdered with SF mayor Moscone by a man who was a member of Handgun Control Inc.

I can’t speak to the first accusation, but I can to the second: Milk was not exactly a pedophile—which is sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children. He was, though, an ephebophile—attraction to underage post-pubescent youngsters. In addition to enjoying the bathhouse scene that created the AIDS crisis, Milk’s longer-term relationships were with very young men, most notably a 15-year-old boy. He was also known to be sexually aggressive with people he recruited during his political activities.

He was a sexual predator, PERIOD... 33 years old and involved with 15 and 16 year olds.. this articles author trying to split hairs about how this guy was a pervert is just insane.

His name belongs NOWHERE as something that should be honored. The left and lavender mafia trying to turn him into some great human being is despicable.

He was the first openly gay man to be elected, so he gets that epitaph, but the attempts to portray him as hero, let alone worthy of having ships named after him is a disgrace.

***Anita Bryant was 84 years old.***

When she opposed homosexuals in Florida and won, I knew the gay lobby would be out to get her. I did not realize how the News Media also came out against her with the most vile slander they could think of, eventually destroyed her career.
