And this is as much info as we're likely to get. Milk, McKinley, and biographer Shilts are all dead now, so there's not likely to be much more info coming out. That said, the fact that this was a relationship that lasted years (although tempestuous, due to McKinley's longstanding bipolar disorder and history of suicide attempts) seems to be a bit of a hole in the scumbag narrative.
Besides, it's a bit hard to treat this as a "seduction of the innocent" when the one of the first things he says to his lover is ""I came to New York so I could suck cock."
Everyone involved is dead now. There's no way of asking what really happened. So I need to ask since you know, Huggy brought up Harvey Milk, were there any charges ever filed against Harvey Milk for the alleged sexual misconduct? If there were charges, was he brought to trial? If so, what was the outcome? If not, then I fail to see how Harvey Milk is even relevant to this topic other than Huggy just needed to, as it was already stated, use a strawman.
This would be the usual route one takes when their point fails to be made, rather than deal with the fact that Cosby was found guilty for raping his accuser. Despite what Huggy wants to believe, it's not about race, which has been what he's hammered on about for pages now.
I also find it interesting how Huggy attempted to walk back his comments to Shell when called out on lumping all atheists together. Damn Huggy. You're so great at quote mining people but you fail miserably to understand that YOU brought up dbp's post about Harvey Milk, specifically lumping every single atheist in with your assumption that we all would support or defend the actions of Milk. When it was pointed out to you by several people that that was not the case, you ignored all of those posts. When Rev made two posts refuting your assumptions about Milk being a pedophile, you singled Rev out, changing your goal posts to "I was only talking about Rev. Rye's post". That is utter bullshit and you know it.
