The nation's first gay museum opening in San Francisco's Castro district showcases a variety of items ranging from Harvey Milk's pink-framed sunglasses to manuscripts and sex toys.

The 1,600-square-foot museum, opening Wednesday, chronicles the evolution of what organizers call the liberation of the gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Is there a model of an HIV virus on display/

How about a chart showing the extent of AIDS worldwide?

Another chart showing the medical costs over time, as well as who paid for them: patients, freebies, governments?

A pedophile section?

Imagine having your child come home, needing you to sign a permission slip to the class trip to the freak museum. I’m sickened just imagining the exhibits: “Hall of Fisting” complete with a try-it-yourself gadget (like a blood pressure machine) where you simply slip your hand...never mind.

Our Nation has lost its way.
A museum dedicated to a perversion?
What next a pedophile convention in Vegas?

I suppose it's too much to hope that this is a private museum and that taxpayer funds weren't used?

No, that’s where the bath house and private sex-stalls are, but that was an (un)natural mistake. LOL

Are they going to have a small animal petting zoo for the kids? You know, gerbils and such?

The 1,600-square-foot museum...

Only 1,600 square feet? That’s pretty small.
