Randy Thomasson is troubled by the "love affair" Democrat officials of one California city have with a late "gay" politician.
This year, San Diego Democrats pushed hard to honor Harvey Milk with resolutions that promote the late homosexual politician's work for the gay community. For example, Congressman Bob Filner (D) and Senator Christine Kehoe (D) urged the Navy to name a ship after Milk and pushed the state Senate to approve a resolution urging the Navy to honor him (see earlier story).
Democrats also passed Assemblywoman Toni Atkins' (D) measure for a commemorative Harvey Milk stamp, and the San Diego City Council voted to rename a street after the late homosexual politician.
Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, says these measures are twisting Milk's story into something it is not.
"Harvey Milk was not a martyr; he did not die like Jesus did. He was actually killed by a political rival. It was nothing about homosexuality," Thomasson explains.
"But Harvey Milk is being pushed as the representative of homosexuality across the nation by homosexual activists."
The conservative is troubled that public officials are honoring a man known for his promiscuous lifestyle and his relationships with underage boys.
"[What] knowledgeable Christians and other morally sensitive people need to do is get to know what the real Harvey Milk did and stood for, and tell people, tell others," Thomasson concludes.
