Navy to Name Ship After Gay Rights Activist Harvey Milk
The Navy is set to name a ship after the gay rights icon and San Francisco politician Harvey Milk, according to a Congressional notification obtained by USNI News.
The July 14, 2016 notification, signed by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, indicated he intended to name a planned Military Sealift Command fleet oiler USNS Harvey Milk (T-AO-206). The ship would be the second of the John Lewis-class oilers being built by General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, Calif.
The Secretary of the Navy’s office is deferring releasing additional information until the naming announcement, a Navy official told USNI News on Thursday.

Harvey Milk
The Navy is once again shamefully bowing to political correctness, this time honoring Harvey Milk, the first openly gay politician to be elected in the U.S.
It was just announced that the newest Military Sealift Command fleet oiler will be named after the radical liberal gay rights icon. Milk served 4 years in the Navy during the Korean War, reaching the rank of lieutenant junior grade. He was honorably discharged, but Milk lied and told people he was kicked out of the Navy for being gay as a way to get votes.
Predictably, gay activists are ecstatic that Obama is using the military to further their agenda around the world.

Don't laugh. He is a "hero" according the Leftist America press. We have to honor our heroes don't we?
You couldn't pay me enough to serve on a 'gay cruiser'. The jokes are bad enough already. Wait until the Army and Air Force get their hands on this. Looking into my crystal ball, I foretell of many bar-fights to come...

The U.S. Naval Institute reports that Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus will be naming a Military Sealift Command support ship after slain San Francisco politician Harvey Milk, a 1970s crusader for gay issues.
The ship class is the John Lewis class “fleet oiler,” and USNS Harvey Milk will be T-AO-206, the second unit of the class.
In company with Milk and John Lewis, the admired civil rights leader, will be Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, who is credited with jump-starting the Supreme Court in a career of political activism; Robert F. Kennedy, JFK’s brother and attorney general, assassinated in 1968 during a presidential run; Lucy Stone, the first American woman to obtain a college degree, and an activist for abolition and women’s rights; and Sojourner Truth, the remarkable former slave who also became a fiery abolitionist and civil rights activist.
The “official Harvey Milk biography” offers this summary:
He attended [Naval] Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island, and subsequently was based in San Diego, where he served as a diving instructor. In 1955, he was discharged with the rank of lieutenant junior grade.
Following his time in the Navy, Milk entered the civilian working world in New York, as a public school teacher on Long Island, as a stock analyst in New York City, and as a production associate for Broadway musicals, including Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair. During the 1960s and early 70s, he became more actively involved in politics and advocacy and he demonstrated against the Vietnam War.
Late 1972, Milk moved to San Francisco, where he opened a camera store on Castro Street, in the heart of the city’s growing gay community. It quickly became a neighborhood center. Milk’s sense of humor and theatricality made him a popular figure. Little more than a year after his arrival in the city, he declared his candidacy for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He lost that race, but emerged from the campaign as a force to be reckoned with in local politics.
The Biography.com page for Harvey Milk has other details:
Following his discharge in 1955, Milk moved to New York City, where he worked a variety of jobs, including public school teacher, production associate for several high-profile Broadway musicals, stock analyst and Wall Street investment banker. He soon tired of finance, though, and befriended gay radicals who frequented Greenwich Village. …
In 1977, Milk, who was known affectionately as the “Mayor of Castro Street,” finally won a seat on the San Francisco City-County Board. He was inaugurated on January 9, 1978, becoming the city’s first openly gay officer, as well as one of the first openly gay individuals to be elected to office in the United States.
Harvey Milk was assassinated by a former city-county board member, Dan White, in November 1978. White also took the life of Mayor George Moscone that day. A former police officer, White was opposed to the political direction he felt Moscone and Milk were taking the city, including Moscone’s repeal of San Francisco’s anti-sodomy law. White was convicted of manslaughter rather than capital murder, after famously pleading the “Twinkie defense.” He committed suicide himself in 1985, shortly after his release from prison.
The manslaughter conviction provoked riots in the Castro Street gay community, which were dubbed the “White Night Riots.”
The ships of the Military Sealift Command are manned by civilian merchant mariners.

Good luck finding a crew.
Not my Navy any more.

A gay oiler. That is funny. You can't make this stuff up.
I have always said that Liberals are too stupid even to know how stupid they are. Every day they prove me right in a different way.

Harvey Milk was also honored by the United States Post Office with a commemorative postage stamp.

The WorldNetDaily Reports thusly:
EXCERPT:
Harvey Milk’s only claim to fame is that he was the first openly homosexual candidate to be elected to public office (San Francisco city commissioner). His chief cause was to do away with the Judeo-Christian sexual ethic. In 1978 Milk was murdered over a non-related political dispute by fellow Democrat Dan White.
And a “progressive” martyr was born.
Merriam Webster defines “pederast” as “one who practices anal intercourse especially with a boy.” It defines “statutory rape” as “the crime of having sex with someone who is younger than an age that is specified by law.”
Harvey Milk was both a pederast and, by extension, a statutory rapist. After I publicly addressed this objective reality in the above-mentioned interview, the liberal blogosphere reacted in, shall we say, an informatively defensive manner.
A Huffington Post headline screamed: “Harvey Milk Was An ‘Evil Man’ Who Raped Teenage Boys, Unworthy of Postage Stamp: Matt Barber.”
The always-amusing Right Wing Watch blog breathlessly posted my comments with the header: “Barber: ‘Harvey Milk Was Demonstrably, Categorically an Evil Man.'”
And so on.
Here’s what’s especially telling about their reaction. Not one of the dozen-or-more publications that reported on my comments even challenged their veracity. Not one attempted to refute or deny that Harvey Milk was, in fact, a pederast and a sexual predator.
That’s because they can’t.
One of Milk’s victims was a 16-year-old runaway from Maryland named Jack Galen McKinley. As previously mentioned, Milk had a soft spot in his, um, heart for teenage runaways. Motivated by an apparent quid pro quo of prurience, Milk plucked McKinley from the street.
Randy Shilts was a San Francisco Chronicle reporter and close friend to Harvey Milk. Though Shilts died of AIDS in 1994, he remains, even today, one of the most beloved journalists in the “LGBT” community.
Shilts was also Harvey Milk’s biographer. In his glowing book “The Mayor of Castro Street,” he wrote of Milk’s “relationship” with the McKinley boy: ” … Sixteen-year-old McKinley was looking for some kind of father figure. … At 33, Milk was launching a new life, though he could hardly have imagined the unlikely direction toward which his new lover would pull him.”
In a sane world, of course, the only direction his “new lover” should have pulled him was toward San Quentin. But, alas, today’s America – a burgeoning relativist land of make-believe – is anything but sane.
Randy Thomasson, child advocate and founder of SaveCalifornia.com, is one of the nation’s foremost experts on Harvey Milk. Of the Shilts biography, Thomasson notes, “Explaining Milk’s many flings and affairs with teenagers and young men, Randy Shilts writes how Milk told one ‘lover’ why it was OK for him to also have multiple relationships simultaneously: ‘As homosexuals, we can’t depend on the heterosexual model. … We grow up with the heterosexual model, but we don’t have to follow it. We should be developing our own lifestyle. There’s no reason why you can’t love more than one person at a time.'”
Whereas McKinley, a disturbed runaway boy, desperately sought a “father figure” to provide empathy, compassion, wisdom and direction, he instead found Harvey Milk: a promiscuous sexual predator who found, in McKinley, an opportunity to satisfy a perverse lust for underage flesh.
Years later McKinley committed suicide.
Another teen who crossed paths with Harvey Milk was Christian convert and former homosexual Gerard Dols. In a 2008 radio interview with Concerned Women for America, Dols shared of how – as a physically disabled teen – the “very nice” Harvey Milk had encouraged him in 1977 to run away from his Minnesota home and come to San Francisco.
According to Dols, Milk told him, “Don’t tell your parents,” and later sent him a letter with instructions. Thankfully, the letter was intercepted by Dols’ parents who then filed a complaint with the Minnesota attorney general’s office.
The incident was evidently swept under the rug.
So what does a man like Harvey Milk get for his apparent crimes? While most sexual predators get time in prison and a dishonorable mention on the registry of sex offenders, Harvey Milk got his own California state holiday (“Harvey Milk Day”) and, more recently, his own commemorative postage stamp, awarded by the Obama administration’s USPS.

The ship class is the John Lewis class “fleet oiler,” and USNS Harvey Milk......
You couldn't run a funnier OR more sad at the same time sentence if you tried.
Then again,the Navy IS famous for "hot bunking with your shipmates". :laugh:
Scuze me while I run for cover......

@SirLinksALot
I am getting seriously tired of this crap. Milk's only claim to fame was being murdered (NOT assassinated!) while being homosexual.
Honors,like having ships named after you or your own postage stamps are only SUPPOSED to be awarded to people with significant accomplishments that benefited all of America in one form or another.
Milk didn't qualify in any aspect.

Awaiting the ships and buildings named after Hillary. Maybe a heliport in Bosnia and the new embassy building in Libya will be among those.

Is the ship designed to be a Stern loader? :whistle:

I was going to mention the submarine service, and go with all the standard jokes about submarines, but I chose not to. I have served with too many people on submarines, gay and straight, whom I respect too much to link them with this nonsense.
This is just Obama and his ilk with their PC agenda nonsense. I doubt very much that actual gay sailors are happy about this at all.
But, it is not being done for real everyday homosexual people anyway. It is being done to make super-rich a$$holes, Hollywood a$$holes, and political a$$holes feel better about themselves, and how 'enlightened' they are. That is ALL it is about.

I'm guessing it's going to get nicknamed "the Good Ship Lollypop".

Depravity spreads.
Hard to remember a time when San Francisco was NOT controlled by the backside-bandits. When it was just a very beautiful city with a lot of liberal residents...like Portland was ten years ago.
Hard to remember when sodomites had to keep their perversions to themselves. Now they're open about it, even as they try ever-more-furiously to cover up their focus on children.
Anyone tried to find out WHY Milk left NYC for San Francisco? The law in hot pursuit? A playmate's father chasing him? Maybe the thing to focus on was not that he was killed in his prime but that he lived so long, given his habits.
