'Harvey Milk enlisted in the United States Navy in 1951 and worked as a diving instructor in San Diego. '
'Harvey Milk was questioned about his sexuality and forced to resign. '
' Milk’s legacy of L.G.B.T. rights, said his nephew, who noted the ship illustrates how things have changed in the military. '
'The U.S.N.S. Harvey Milk, a fleet oiler named for the slain gay rights leader and first openly gay elected official in a major American city, was celebrated on Friday as the first piece of steel was cut to build the vessel in San Diego. '
'He had served for four years when his superiors found him in a park known among gay men, his nephew Stuart Milk said on Monday. '

Harvey Milk was yet another fake "hate crime", he wasn't killed because he was a faggot, he was killed because the murderer felt politically/professionally betrayed by him.
