Harvey Milk was a pervert. He would groom 16 year old boys when he was well into his 30s. He’s no hero. I’m sure he’s having second thoughts right now.

The Left chooses some of the worst scumbags to make heroes out of.....Harvey Milk, George Floyd, Madalyn Murray O'Hair. It's like throwing out good, nutritious food and eating filthy garbage out of a dumpster instead.

Makes no sense to me either. I’m sure those three have different thoughts about the life they lived. Hmmm….

Galen McKinley was his 17 year old lover’s name when Milk was 33. Milk also preyed on vulnerable, young men.

McKinley later committed suicide.

Milk was no hero!

Disgusting
