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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squistion 2,036 Posted Wednesday at 04:22 PM 39 minutes ago, supermike80 said: 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Engorgeous George 2,234 Posted Wednesday at 05:31 PM 1 hour ago, MDC said: 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 2,234 Posted Wednesday at 05:34 PM 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] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
