life:

On what would have been Harvey Milk’s 82nd birthday, LIFE.com offers a series of photographs by Grey Villet chronicling the early days of the modern gay rights movement in America.
Titled “Homosexuals in Revolt” and touted as “a major essay on America’s newest militants,” the piece elicited strong reactions from readers — many of whom, of course, were less than happy that their beloved LIFE would devote a dozen pages to people whom one letter writer characterized as “psychic cripples.” Other responses from peeved readers that were printed in the January 28, 1972, issue of LIFE included:

From Telford, Penn. — There was plenty to lament in your year-end issue, but the thing that struck me as most sad was the fact that LIFE felt compelled to devote 11 pages to “Homosexuals in Revolt.”
From Chicago — Essentially, it is absurd to accept as a mere “variant lifestyle” a practice which, if universal, would mean the end of the human race.
And, from Glendale, California, the standard (as well as reductionist and selective) biblical critique — “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination” (Leviticus 18:22).

The Mother’s Day card I can’t send:

insertsongreference:

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY MOM!!

Thanks for having unprotected sex with my father that one time. I hope it was special.

And I know you were fucking devastated to learn you were pregnant with your second kid 25 years ago and I bet you considered abortion. Thank you for opting to just model through it because while my life mostly sucks (which I only blame you for a little bit), it’s not so bad. I don’t mind existing.

So congrats on some very important life choices, namely, ME!

Happy Mother’s Day to my mother

Thanks for cheating on my dad with his best friend and after he threw you out (when I was 5), thanks for marrying that man after he got his divorce & not fighting too hard for us so my dad got custody. Because if I’d grown up in your house instead of his, I’m terrified to think of the person I’d be today. The only way I’m certain you weren’t cheating when I was conceived is because I’m so much like him. :) So my REAL happy mother’s day goes to my wonderful father, who was the best mom & dad ever!
