I'm a bit surprised no one else has mentioned this yet. But here it is … the USNS Harvey Milk.

Wow this is great. And since he was a Navy veteran it’s even more fitting

It is a much belated recognition if not an "apology" … or maybe it's a 'don't ask don't tell' apology ... lol.

I'm not sure what it'd be an apology for - was he ever legally prosecuted? An apology, I'd think, is more along the lines of the Queen pardoning Alan Turing in 2013.

I expect that will be the call to order song on the ship

Hey if Harvey Milk couldn't live to see this day, thank God Anita Bryant could!

Well, it would have to be an oiler. At least it's not a frigate. 😏
