  Harvey Milk: Life is Not Worth Living Without Hope

  Eric,
  
  No, Harvey was most likely not murdered because he was gay. I think that gay or straight he would have been murdered. He did, however, spend a great deal of his late life fighting for gay equality. The man who murdered him got away with it because he killed a gay man. The "twinky defense" is more of a backlash against gays, a message to gays. So, if by that, I want to "Use", as you put it, Harvey Milk as a martyr, then I have every damned right to.
  
  You seemed so outraged that you would say , "To hijack that quote for any political purpose is criminal! The gay community needs to get back to living and quit all this turmoil!".  We'll I am equally as outraged that you think you have the right to tell us to be so well behaved. On the contrary, well behaved people rarely bring about social change. It seems people with your ideology have no room to be outraged.
