then I point out nobody here complained about public funding of other memorials, you have the audacity to object. The OP and others mentioned an issue with whether it has or has not been built, but his observation very clearly is that public funding was provided.

The larger project has for now failed as the land owner did not sell the property to the city and instead wanted to go forward with their own plans but ultimately were unable to raise enough private funding to build the hoped for museum. It is complicated.

What is not complicated is that public funding was provided as seed money for the project the completion of which required much larger infusion of private money. That didn't happen.

As for honor vs memorialize. Point made that memorialize is more specific, but use of the word honor is entirely appropriate

You need to read past the first line to understand the post. Heck, I needed to read to the end of your post to be sure you were really accusing me of being homophobic.

Many are not sure that public funds should be used... for this, for Oklahoma City, or for WTC. But that was not the point of the posts. The point was that funds, both public and private, were used and salaries paid with no museum and no memorial.
