Sorry, he was gay, and therefore gets a pass on any “sex crimes”…

Rumors from homophobic people don't make it true.... There is no record of him committing a crime, and not only is there a ship named after him, he received a Presidential Metal of Freedom.

PFC David Foster MCPO Hilary Kunz As usual, there are different points of view. Doesn't make one "homophobic". Like this christening, the PMF was a travesty to make a political point. But, as they say, history is written by the winners.

CWO4 Terrence Clark - I saw the movie, I hardly remember it though.... I saw Sean Penn also play the part of a hick running for the governor of Louisiana and winning. I think it was Louisiana, it could have been Mississippi or something else, deep south anyway... I believe he won an Academy Award for that one and I remember that one but not the one about Milk.

You said "the PMF was a travesty to make a political point"... what is "PMF"? (probability mass function perhaps).

The article you posted said he got an honorable discharge and I can't find anything about any crimes he was committed of... He was a gay Mayor of San Francisco at a time when being gay was looked down on by a lot of people, and he was murdered over a political disagreement. In his position at that time in the history of the gay movement, there would have been an unbelievable amount of homophobic rumors going around at that time... Even if he had been an innocent priest, he would have been painted to be a monster...
