California's official Harvey Milk Day "an idea whose time has come"

Harvey Milk Day, a state day to honor the slain San Francisco gay rights advocate, is now official in California thanks to a somewhat unexpected signature Monday from Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has vetoed such legislation in the past.

The bill was one of two key gay rights bills authored by State Senator Mark Leno of San Francisco, who says he's "pleasantly surprised" that the governor put his pen to both; the other bill makes gay marriages performed in other states legal in California.

Great now California is not only fiscally broke it is morally bankrupt.

[RexBeach]

My God. Nothing matters any longer. Anything is just fine.

At this rate, we will be passing laws that allow humans to wed animals.

[Red Badger]

Got Milk?..................

[BipolarBob]

God will not be mocked. Do I feel quakes . . .?

[steveo]

Twinkies on sale two for one...

[Hans]

Just what a totally bankrupt California needs, Harvey Milk day. Frisky boys in the parks, scare the children.
Have the gays ever done anything for the common good?

[RichInOC]

I still think they should name the SFPD range after Dan White.

> Great now California is not only fiscally broke it is morally bankrupt.

It always has been and will forever be. Replacing Ahnold with Whitman wont do a damn thing. I was in DT L.A. yesterday afternoon and the amt of people walking the streets near 7th/Figueroa was less than 5 at times. They I noticed the library was closed so the bums had nowhere to go..

[randog]

Do state workers get the day off with pay?

[massgopguy]

Look up Milk’s connection the The People’s Church. This guy has blood on his hands.

[a fool in paradise]

That's not "milk"...

[dnandell]

Remember awhile back when people were talking about amending the Constitution so that Ahnold could run for president? HAHAHA.

Oh how the times have changed.

[a fool in paradise]

Columbus Day and Christmas are now called horrible holidays. And yet the government employees still take them off while I have to work today.

[nufsed]

Columbus Day is no longer a state holiday in Cal. The state employeess got 8 hours to take off when they want instead, with supervisor’s approval. Can’t recognize that slave mongering Italian.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

My God. Nothing matters any longer. Anything is just fine.

At this rate, we will be passing laws that allow humans to wed animals.

At this rate of depravity in our government.....wouldn’t be surprised if that’s up for vote next week. *sigh*

[reagan_fanatic]

Don't laugh - it's coming. Really. We're already well on the road towards that kind of moral depravity.

Why society just sits and takes this kind of crap is beyond me.

[nufsed]

People who don’t acknowledge Christmas should be scheduled to work. We shouldn’t force people to take off to celegrate “offensive” holidays. Don’t we all have the right to not be offended (he 11th bill of right)?

[A_Former_Democrat]

No, they’ve been a huge negative. They brought HIV here and caused its widespread. But the SCM and politicians won’t acknowledge that.

Instead they’re always “victims”

[AngelesCrestHighway]

At this rate the calendar won’t have enough days in the year for all the P.C. holidays....

Here Milk’s letter to Jimma Carter in behalf of Guyana’s own Jim “Kool Aid” Jones........

[reagandemocrat]

“Gaetan Dugas Day”

[Sister_T]

Eeeuuu! That looks gross!

[SoldierDad]

I need some milk-of-magnesia (I’m gonna hurl).

[SoldierDad]

LA and SF could slide off into the ocean as far as I’m concerned. Then maybe the state could get back to some semblance of normalcy.

[Dante3]

Harvey Milk was a supporter of Rev. Jim Jones. Wasn't he shot because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, with the mayor the main target?

BTW, one theory holds that the shootings were actually related to the Peoples Temple even though the occurred after the mass murder in Jonestown, with the victims' link to Jones.

[NormsRevenge]

I’m sure Nambla supports this signing.

[Onelifetogive]

Harvey Milk Day, a state day to honor the slain San Francisco gay rights advocate...

Ok, so there was no getting around having a day to honor a gay rights advocate, thus the problem of finding one who was not a pedophile...You try it, I bet you can't either.

[Kozak]

I for one will be eating Twinkies on that day,

[massgopguy]

Jones sent out loyal assassins to take care of loose end. Remember, Jones took everyone with him whether they wanted to go or not.

[dfwgator]

This guy has blood on his hands.

Amongst other bodily fluids.

[Bernard Marx]

Remember awhile back when people were talking about amending the Constitution so that Ahnold could run for president? HAHAHA. Oh how the times have changed.

I don't think so. In fact I was just wondering what kind of secret deal Ahnuld made with Feinstein and Boxer and probably others to exchange this signature for their support in his run for President.

[Saoirise]

We gotta get out of this place, if it's the last thing we ever do.....we gotta get out of this place, there is justa a better life for me and you"

[dfwgator]

I guess Matt Groening thinks he'll be President.

I just called the governors office and gave them an ear full.

Good Bye Ten Commandments... Hello Sodom & Gomorrah:

Philo of Alexandria (c. 20 BC to AD 50), a Jewish philosopher, theologian, and a contemporary of Jesus and Paul, comments,

“The land of the Sodomites, a part of Canaan afterwards called Palestinian Syria, was brimful of innumerable iniquities, particularly such as arise from gluttony and lewdness, and multiplied and enlarged every other possible pleasure with so formidable a menace that it had at last been condemned by the Judge of All…Incapable of bearing such satiety, plunging like cattle, they threw off from their necks the law of nature and applied themselves to…forbidden forms of intercourse. Not only in their mad lust for women did they violate the marriages of their neighbors, but also men mounted males without respect for the sex nature which the active partner shares with the passive; and so when they tried to beget children they were discovered to be incapable of any but a sterile seed. Yet the discovery availed them not, so much stronger was the force of the lust which mastered them. Then, as little by little they accustomed those who were by nature men to submit to play the part of women, they saddled them with the formidable curse of a female disease… for not only did they emasculate their bodies by luxury and voluptuousness but they worked a further degeneration in their souls and, as far as in them lay, were corrupting the whole of mankind.”

gonorrhea day?

[ninergold3]

Milk isn't the only liberal Democrap that was up to his eyeballs with Jim Jones and his People's Temple murders. Take a minute to do some reading up on Jones, you might be surprised (or not).

It was brought in by 68 Democrat lawmakers, 1 Republican named Abel Maldonado, and of course our own RINO, California's liberal Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Time to get busy and get this scum out of our legislature.

[BigFinn]

This bill would require the governor proclaim May 22 each year as Harvey Milk Day. It would encourage public schools and educational institutions to conduct suitable commemorative exercises on that date.

What does that mean? A gay pride parade for the kindergardeners?

[BigFinn]

Supporters for this include PG&E, AT&T, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, California Teacher's Association, Abott Realty Group of San Diego, UHW

"TIME TO GET YOUR KIDS OUT THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL SYSTEM.

HA! It's been that time for at least the last 20 years, or longer, especially for the unfortunate folks that live in San FranSissy. They don't call California the land of fruits, nuts and flakes for nothing. Depravity and debauchery reign supreme...

[Ann Archy]

OMG!! God will NOT be mocked!! LOOKOUT CALIFORNIA!!!

[Ann Archy]

Well, TELL US!! WHO was involved with Jim Jones??

[artichokegrower]

It’s ironic that schools today are teaching what the consider the “true story of Columbus” including all his shortcomings as interpreted by today’s liberal and are at the same time going to ignore the truth concerning Harvey Milk.

[dorothy]

Time, I suppose, for one of my favorite quotes:

“Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”

--Alexander Pope

[reg45]

Celebrate Harvey Milk Day, eat a Twinkie.

[dfwgator]

What about the Twinkie?

[Dante3]

Then Assemblyman Willie Brown - who later became mayor of SF and now appears as a talking head on cable TV - was a strong supporter of Jim Jones even after Jonestown. Jane Fonda supported him, at least briefly. Moscone also supported Jim Jones. Mondale praised him.
