"They" being the professional "family values" gay-bashers.

Barber: 'Harvey Milk Was Demonstrably, Categorically An Evil Man'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 10/17/2013 12:10 pm

Liberty Counsel’s Matt Barber is upset that the US Postal Service will issue a stamp honoring Harvey Milk, telling the American Family Association’s OneNewsNow that Milk was a rapist and “demonstrably, categorically an evil man.”

"How far we’ve fallen: An official stamp of approval for sexual perversion"

"The U.S. Postal Service is putting its stamp of approval on homosexual activism in announcing plans to issue a stamp honoring Harvey Milk. Milk, who was a San Francisco supervisor more than three decades ago and was touted as the first openly homosexual candidate elected to office, was assassinated in 1978 by a political rival. Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel Action reacts to this latest promotion of the man known for his promiscuous lifestyle and his relationships with underage boys."

Instead they represent the opposite - hate, bigotry, and greed. Three things Jesus would have hated.

"Family" = hate gays.

"Freedom" = hate black people.

"Secure" = hate Hispanics and Muslims.

"Liberty" = demands to censor books and magazines, TV and movies, have sex with, have sex at all, what religion to have, etc.

"Milk...was touted as the first openly homosexual candidate elected to office...."


Before Harvey Milk there was Elaine Noble

March 22, 2013 / Blake Jelley /

In celebration of Women’s History Month, Gay Politics honors Elaine Noble, the first openly LGBT candidate elected to a state legislature in the U.S. Noble won a seat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1974, where she served two terms. Harvey Milk would not win local office in San Francisco for another three years.

What a charming way to ID a wing nut (70's style)

Daniel James "Dan" White (September 2, 1946 – October 21, 1985) was a San Francisco supervisor who assassinated San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, on Monday, November 27, 1978, at City Hall. In a controversial verdict that led to the coining of the legal slang "Twinkie defense," White was convicted of manslaughter rather than murder in the deaths of Milk and Moscone. White served five years of a seven-year prison sentence. Less than two years after his release, he returned to San Francisco and committed suicide. San Francisco Weekly has referred to White as "perhaps the most hated man in San Francisco's history."
