Correct Link for article is:

That should probably be the link that people click on.

A role model if there every was one.

You can call the Governor’s office and weigh in on this bill.

It’s part of the automated menu, asking whether or not you support it.

LOL!! I’m glad I was done drinking before I read your post! I would have had to buy a new keyboard.

Take up your grievance with Dan White. He made this day possible.

On this special day each school could serve hot dogs and/or tacos along with Hershey bars while they ask students to contemplate the implications.

Well, I’ve lived in California my entire life and I have to say this is shameful. However, I do disagree with the person who suggested keeping the kids home to “celebrate” Dan White day on the same day. It was an awful time in California history for all those involved.

My biggest concern is why there needs to be a day for Harvey Milk when some of his behavior can and should be defined as sexually perverse. I don’t consider this excpetional role model material for our children. His claim to fame is that he was an outspoken active homosexual male who willingly engaged in sodomy with other men. I’m sorry but I just don’t find that behavior noteworthy.

I’m also confused as to why this day is needed when in the month of June all of Californias gay communities come alive with gay parades and “pride” month.

I’m suppose to be non judgemental when it comes to someones sexuality but this suggests that in fact I’m being controlled in my own feelings about this situation. It’s just that I’m suppose to accept the behavior and say nothing about it. I’m a bitch if I say I’m opposed to this idea but then the person telling me to lighten up and just accept it wouldn’t be the bitch for telling me how to feel?

Strange double standard. Anway, I oppose this whole situation. My first Sunday School Mrs Hutchinson would serve as a better state holiday then this man.

It's all part of the homosexual agenda, to make homosexuality appear to be normal. We must do our best to fight this organized attempt to change our society's values and principles.

It’s one of those situations that blows me away. Had Harvey Milk been a straight man who had to work extra hard at getting the gay castro vote to win his district there would never be any mention of his political service.

Simply because he was a homosexual he gets a holiday in his name and we should all be OK with it because it was such an awful thing that happened to him. If anyone does a thorough search about all that mess they will find that Dan White had very little problem with Harveys sexuality. White was having issues with both the Mayor and Milk for making him look like a bumbling fool. The gay community realized this and needed for it to appear as if Whites main problem was over Milks sexuality when the truth was it was Milks politics he had the problem with. Milks death yanked the gay community out of the closet as they marched with candles the night of his death so they used his death as a catalyst to start their agenda. But who and what Milk really was is not at all worthy of some damn holiday.

I know of a few local heros ( Law enforcement, firemen and women, community leaders ) who have all died violently and simply because their sexuality was not displayed they are considered the silent heros and not one person suggests lets have a holiday in rememberance.

I’m amazed at the insult this mans name brings to the table when it comes to a state holiday.

This is insane.

The already blockade information about passing proposition 8 and now they seek to recruit children into the deathstyle.

Homosexuality is ONLY about sex and has no place around MINOR CHILDREN!

BINGO! The Left uses your own morality against you. This is right out of the communist/radical playbook. They know that you want to be a sensitive and understanding person who wants to treat others fairly and equally, so they hammer you on that fairness even though they would never play by the same rules.

I expect he’ll sign it; I would not. It has little meaning but, honestly, we don’t need another day celebrating a particular person whether or not it becomes a public holiday or not.

Do you realize just how stupid you sound? The heteronormative world has been recruiting them since birth! Unless they have innate homosexual tendencies, they're not going to be "recruited" into, you know, living like homosexuals.

Why do school kids need a day honoring a particular type of sex?
Will there also be a day honoring oral sex?
What about bondage day, or French maid outfit day, or rough sex day?
Why honor anal sex only?
This is pure insanity.

Take up your grievance with Dan White. He made this day possible.

Not to mention the political career of Dianne Feinstein.

I had remembered a documentary on the case of the two slayings. I know there was a night of riots by the homosexual persons and their supporters. This followed the seven year sentence of former military veteran and police officer Dan White.

It is obligatory and heartfelt to say these two men should not have died. What should be stated is that the lack of manly resolve, to talk things over with White, started him to his (and their) doom. It was felt by a San Francisco newspaper that it was not a "homophobic" act. It was one of being rejected.

A certain powerful lady made statements personally on this case. I wonder she sleeps at night.
