What's long, hard and full of seamen? The USS Harvey Milk It's been 37 years since The Village People's hit song In the Navy associated the armed service with an acceptance of homosexuality. It's been 38 since one of the gay movement's trailblazers, Harvey Milk, was gunned down at San Francisco city hall by fellow city supervisor Dan White. Now the two get to hook up, with the news …
Actually, the USNS Harvey Milk is the second ship in the John Lewis class, which are being named after civil rights leaders. And the `long, hard, and full of seamen' comment is about as courteous in discussing this matter as a reference to watermelon in a discussion of Obama's foreign policy would be. Both the article and the headline are seriously misleading.
