West Beverly High = New Harvey Milk High?

2003_8_priestley.jpgThe Post decides to lead its article about how gays feel about new all gay all the time Harvey Milk High School with: It's the most talked-about school since Jason Priestley and the gang graduated in "Beverly Hills 90210."
Huh? Really? The most talked about school? Actually, Gothamist would have expected Columbine High School to rise to the top. Or even Stuyvesant. But West Beverly High from the good old Bev-Niner? If you're going to reference a fictional high school, at least make sure it's at least Ridgemont. Degrassi High would have been better (though maybe it's best known as Degrassi Junior High, which has one of the best TV theme songs ever). We suppose writer Ashlee Cross also has the catchphrase, "Donna Martin graduates!" tattooed in her memory as we do, but come on.

Just had to post a comment, because you're being way to hard on West Bev!

Not only did Donna Martin graduate, but she became a highly successful fashion designer & web entrepreneur!

Hey, karen, I love West Beverly just as much as the next girl who slavishly watched the Walshes et al. I'm just saying, Bev-Niner went BEYOND West Bev. Know what I'm sayin'?

I dunno - Harvery Milk leaves a lot of room for discussion:
I found this take on the new opening school, which was acually sold at Stackhouse even before the Marc Jocobs line.

I have read aloy about The Harvey Milk School and I notice the only people talking about it ar hetros So I am Gay and let me tell you all...Untill you walk in my shoes you should not coment. the wost is having to hide in school or run home or stay low in school or if you are out going put up with negitive coments day in and day out. So if there is a place were gay kidds can be and have some self respect then I say go for it. Thank you
