Well, no. But in states which consider 17 the legal age of consent, whattayagonnado? 

IDGAF about Harvey Milk. I know little about him other than what was captured in the film, which was good, but came out a long time ago so I don't remember most of it.

The issue I see is the targeted marginalization (to put it nicely) of LGBTQ by this admin. Every authoritarian needs to have "the enemy from within" to gin up anger. Trump sees a lot of enemies from within, and has shown that his rhetoric causes violence. Any group or individual he targets will eventually be targeted by some of his sycophants, in some cases violently. That is a feature, not a bug.

I know.  Whatever.  It's weird, but not illegal.  If you believe the book and articles Squish referenced.  Who knows.

Yeah...it's totally normal and cool for a 30 something man to be sexually involved with a 17 year old kid.   Nothing to see there.

Im sure all you defenders would be perfectly fine with your 17 year old son or daughter to be bringing home a 33 year old man for Thanksgiving dinner

No, it's not "totally normal" but that type of relationship is not considered particularly unusual or raises eyebrows in the gay community.

Some younger gay men in their teens (of legal consent age) and 20s are looking for a relationship with an older man, a "father figure" type for lack of a better term (I don't understand the psychology involved, perhaps it is due to often having a poor relationship with their own father).

Well squish..

#1, I appreciate you being so in tune with the gay community.  That and your superior knowledge of what happens inside the black community is appreciated.  Without middle aged white guys explaining these marginalized groups, where would we be?

#2.  Saying that young teens want older men doesn't make this better.  Its the responsibility of the older men to say no.   And that's always been the case.  Your defense reads like..."Well the kids want it so why should an older, hopefully more wise man turn that down"

#3.  Saying it doesn't raise eyebrows in the gay community for a 30 something man to have sex with a 17 year old boy really says a lot about how disturbing that community you defend is.

Not a good post.

Interesting question. I just looked it up and there are a few examples of Navy ships named after people for things they did outside the military. Gabby Giffords and Robert F Kennedy’s both have one.

Yes.  The guidelines I found and posted do allow for exceptions to the general rules.  Congress does have such power.  i now wonder who sponsored the naming of the USS Harvey Milk.

[Engorgeous George 2,331]

Looking for the answer to my above question Wiki rendered the following:

 

In July 2016, Ray Mabus, then United States Secretary of the Navy, advised Congress that he intended to name the John Lewis-class oilers after prominent civil rights leaders, with this ship to be named in honor of gay rights activist Harvey Milk.^[5] It was officially named at a ceremony in San Francisco on 16 August 2016.^[6][7] This was not the first US Navy ship named for an openly gay person, as the WWI troopship USS Von Steuben (ID-3017) was commissioned in 1917 and named for Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, an American Revolutionary War hero.^[8]

I'm shocked that you're not telling the full story; good thing @squistion provided some background detail. Just another reminder that nothing you post can be trusted. 

Yeah sure. They met when the kid was 16. But nothing happened till he was legal. What a dumbass.

It’s legal in Afghanistan to have sex with a young boy, so it’s not pedophilia.

  Squish, the expert on gay relations, told us it's totally normal for gays to want young teens.  After all, they are asking for it!  They need a daddy.

You don't GAF that Trump was walking into beauty pageant dressing rooms filled with naked underage girls without being invited; in fact you VOTED for him. I didn't vote for Harvey Milk. Your disingenuity is boundless.

Pride Month is almost over. 

So here's a tune for the homophobes to tide them over until June of next year.

And that's a good thing.  I'm thinking this thing goes away at some point. Trump needs to change it to maybe be one day in the middle of winter.  I'm thinking like January 20th so all the heterophobes like Lady Squidtard will be as miserable as possible.   No way should these anomolies get a whole month, much less one of the good months.

By having it in winter these degenerates and perverts will be less incentivized to expose themselves.

Have their pride day be January 6. 

That would really fock them up.

No problem as long as "the gays" have no visability. 

And I see some here are fantasizing that Trump can or should eliminate "Pride Month" and make it just for one day in dead of winter. 

The problem is that Trump (unlike other Presidents going back to Clinton) has never issued any official proclamations recognizing Pride Month (not during his first term as POTUS and not for 2025). So he can't really take away or eliminate something that he hasn't acknowledged ever existed. And if even if he did, Pride Parades and events would still be celebrated in the same towns and cities they have been for decades (nothing would really change).

No. It's still a problem.

29 days into Pride month and I have yet to have had my life's routines impinged upon in any way this month.

[Engorgeous George 2,331]

This got me thinking.  Maybe I can get at least a single day designated as a national day if not an entire month.  I could write my representatives.  Alternativley I could go through this ... REGISTER A NATIONAL DAY - National Day Calendar

 

I am thinking of making the effort.  I would like to sponsor B1tch Slap (fill in the blank with an objectionable poster) Day.*

No schtick.  Why do you and your ilk find it so important to make sure everyone knows how gay you are?  Just be gay.  Why do you have to make sure we all know?  Why do you need it acknowledged?   I don't announce when I bang a woman and don't need your validation for it.  It's weird.
