They claim Milk wasn't a pedo because according to them the age of consent in New york in 1964 was 14.
First, this is a complete lie. This only applied to married couples, and there was an age range maximum for 14 year olds to get married. Milk was in his 30s when his grooming victim was 15 (they claim they weren't dating until he turned 16).
Further, sodomy was completely illegal in New york in 1964. The Stonewall riots didn't even happen until 1969. Sodomy - thus homosexual fetish acts - were illegal in New York until 1980.
homosexual sodomy was illegal until 1980
same sex partnerships weren't recognized until 1998
same sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions were not recognized until 2008
same sex marriage was not legal to perform until 2011
But go on the twatter thread and these liars are claiming that the age of consent for homosexual sodomy was 14 at the time.
