Thirty-five years after Harvey Milk made history as California's first openly gay elected leader, he's closing in on another historical first.

The U.S. Postal Service said Friday that the late San Francisco supervisor and civil rights leader will join the likes of John F. Kennedy, Rosa Parks and Jackie Robinson by being recognized with a commemorative stamp - an honor that had apparently never before gone to an openly gay politician.

[artichokegrower]

Don't think I will be licking that stamp.

[null and void]

What kind of Californian are you???

[dfwgator]

Ewwwwww.

[dfwgator]

Just wait...you know it’s coming....The USS Harvey Milk....Only a matter of time.

[detective]

Harvey Milk's short political career was made possible only because of the support of the Reverend Jim Jones and the People's Temple thugs. They got Milk elected to his City Council position in San Francisco.

If there is a Harvey Milk stamp then there should be a Rev. Jim Jones stamp. It should be Koolaid flavored.

Don't think I will be licking that stamp.

All stamps are now sekf-adhesive...for your convenience!

(I work for the USPS...I have to find some way to put a positive spin on it!)

[UnwashedPeasant]

When do we get the Miley Cyrus stamp?

[Libloather]

Would it be wrong to spit on the front of the stamp?

[MUDDOG]

LOL!

Since they recalled the Michelle Obama exercise stamp for not showing safety helmets, will the Harvey Milk stamp have to show condoms?

[dfwgator]

When do we get the Miley Cyrus stamp?

The first stamp that licks itself.

[greene66]

Par for the course these days in “America the Depraved.” This country used to celebrate war heroes, patriots, industrialists. Now it celebrates perverts.

[dfwgator]

When do we get the Miley Cyrus stamp?

When she dies. You have to be dead to get a stamp.

[spawn44]

What in the hell is so HISTORIC and WONDERFUL about it. Look where the hell we are right now.

[kaehurowing]

Wasn’t he a pedophile?

[novascotianative]

He liked little boys.

[Cowboy Bob]

Got Milk?

Yeah, right between the eyes...

[unixfox]

All this for a Fag?

[novascotianative]

Liked, licked?

[Vaquero]

Maybe zer0 can get them to put Devine eating poodle $h!7 on a new stamp? It fits his MO.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

Wasn’t he killed by an angry boyfriend?

[gorush]

We need another stamp commemorating the Twinkie.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

When do we get the Miley Cyrus stamp?

---

I wouldn’t stick my tongue on that either!

[dfwgator]

We need another stamp commemorating the Twinkie.

What about the Twinkie?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

At least not the backside. I hear they are going to make the glue brown.

[Vaquero]

When do we get the Miley Cyrus stamp?
The first stamp that licks itself.

Worked with a flamer back in the 70s in a business machine repair business. He used to say “to each his own...if you can reach it”

[Mouton]

Yeah, and a Dan White stamp too.

(White used what has been called the Twinkie Defense, saying he was high on sugar from eating twinkies I believe)

[Mastador1]

Don’t think I will be licking that stamp.

Yeah, what image do you think they’ll use, a sphincter maybe?

[Vaquero]

His murderer used the “Twinkie defense”. Google it.

[gorush]

The homicidal effects of eating too many twinkies was once successfully used as a defense against a murder charge IIRC.

[Rodamala]

Sean Penn stamps will go well with the Cesar Chavez stamps they had.

Every post office I visit, I ask if they still have these stamps... the only stamp you will ever need, FOREVER:

[MUDDOG]

You have to be dead to get a stamp.

When they had the Elvis stamp, I voted for Las Vegas Elvis, but as usual,my candidate lost.

[abclily]

Which pope declared that we had become the nation of death? Celebrating an HIV spreader will be our new postal symbol.

[a fool in paradise]

Everybody can now lick his backside.

[driftless2]

"matter of time"

Harvey Milk Day. You heard it here first. Nothing lib-inspired is too outrageous to not happen.

[dfwgator]

Yep, that’s inevitable too.

[a fool in paradise]

Will Jim Jones be getting a stamp next?

[Spirochete]

Wasn’t he killed by an angry boyfriend?

No. He was an innocent bystander shot by a disgruntled office shooter who was after the mayor.

Milk was an undistinguished city employee who just happened to be in the wrong place/time. It could've happened to anyone, but because he was a fag, the victim worshipers have exalted him to "heroic" status equivalent to MLK.

[Impala64ssa]

Harvey Milk Day
Hey, they could rename JFK BLVD in Tampa Harvey Milk BLVD, it's where the chickenhawks, trannies and he-she's hang out at night looking for action. BTW, remember when "blowing a tranny" meant serious car trouble after a drag race?

[patriotsblood]

I can’t wait until the USPS issues the 3 cent obama stamp.

[ronnie raygun]

A pedophile stamp, nice

[relictele]

My neighbor’s wife is confused by the basics of plumbing also.

Does she get a stamp too?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***..an honor that had apparently never before gone to an openly gay politician.***

A stamp ONLY because he liked to suck c***s and pack fudge.

What an honor.

[exPBRrat]

...just another stamp I won’t buy.

[Jack Hammer]

Yeah, don’t lick it or you’ll get AIDS.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

What is really funny is Dan White was a member of Handgun Control Inc at the time he shot Moscone and Milk.

Guns for me, but not for thee.

[Stosh]

Just hope someone tells the likely clientele for this issue that it has to paid for, not filched.

[GeorgeTex]

First season Saturday Night Live. The post office has announced that they are to issue a stamp commemorating prostitution in America. It's a ten cent stamp, but if you want to lick it, it's a quarter.

[vette6387]

Now we “honor” fudgepackers! I wonder if they will have some “leftovers” when people refuse to buy them. I know, a “fire sale in the Castro.”

[Timber Rattler]

Nasty.
