I'm not gay at all and I find this very inspiring.

[eveydel]

this man taught me more about being brave and kind than my parents did. and I`ve never met him.

[anoldsoldierboy]

I'm so done with this now. Ive got bigger fish to fry and "bad milk" to throw-out !

[anoldsoldierboy]

Why can't you admit the truth ??? Milk was a voracious homosexual that just wanted a free pass from morality . THAT'S ALL !!! We wasn't a hero or a great man just an asshole looking to get over on society with his particular brand of bullshit. Sean Penn and Hollywood LIED to America about Milk. But what's new with that ? No matter what YOU say will make me drink Milk's Koolaid...and America deserves to know the truth...not Hollywood b.s. .

It's easy to say "Well that's a lie", but the truth is Milk WAS a sexual predator AND a friend of Jones...you CAN'T change the facts no matter how much you want to . Milk was also a naval officer who received an HONORABLE discharge from the navy. He told people that he was "throw-out for being gay" THAT was a lie to make himself out to be a "victim" . I've done my homework on this man and he was NOT a "saint" ...not by a long shot ! I know the truth and have blogged nation wide with this info.

ROT QUEER!!

Um, not exactly. Jones had deceptively befriended many good people, in case you missed the part where he took advantage of others who trusted him and paid the ultimate price. Easier to, of course, kick 'em when they're down or dead. No fight in all of that hot air. None.

[SFGadFly]

Milk had his critics who pranced around like they knew everything with the same arrogance that comes more canned than a can of cans. Myth? No, your revisionism is more accurately described as delusional, outright inaccurate, and intended to be deceptive. Milk was a courageous leader for his time, and there were idiots then as today except those then clearly failed to learn anything about his life just as today remain clueless and confused. How convenient when you're not flipping the bill.

[SFGadFly]

Harvey Milk was not a sexual predator but your slanderous characterization is a predatory lie that relies on what was once commonly accepted bigotry used to stereotype gay men. Milk was an example for others to follow and gave people hope. The Dan Whites of the world are insecure hypocrites who blame others for how they feel, like batterers, rapists or even murderers. Children should admire Milk by learning about him than hear an adult giving murder a pass. Therapy; it works, beeyotches.

Wow, what a beautiful perspective to have. That was really refreshing to hear.
