Legislature Passes Bill for 'Gay Day' Celebrations in California Public Schools

By Peter J. Smith August 8, 2008, SACRAMENTO (LifeSiteNews. com) - California public schools soon will be planning 'gay day' celebrations every May 22 unless Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoes the legislation.

Thursday the California Assembly approved AB 2567, which designates May 22 as 'Harvey Milk Day.' The 43 to 26 vote occurred on party lines with Democrats for, Republicans against.

Earlier this week, AB 2567 passed the California State Senate on another party line vote 22-13 - Democrats for, Republicans against. The bill will require all public schools to 'conduct suitable commemorative exercises' in commemoration of the anti-religious, homosexualist agenda of the late San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk.

According to a Senate analysis of the bill, 'This bill requires the Governor to proclaim May 22 as Harvey Milk Day. The designation of a day of significance triggers statutory encouragement for public schools to observe and conduct commemorative exercises suitable to the day.'

'This bad bill will teach impressionable schoolchildren the anti-religious, homosexual-bisexual -transsexual agenda of Harvey Milk,' warned Randy Thomasson, President of Campaign for Children and Families.

'If signed into law, AB 2567 will mean an official day commemorating homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality in California government schools…This will harm children as young as children as young as kindergarten. '

'The Democrats are so cocky, they have no qualms about pushing sexual indoctrination upon children in an election year.

For the love of God, parents and their children, we implore Governor Schwarzenegger to veto AB 2567' Thomasson said.

Better make sure they don’t sell Twinkies in the schools on that day.

If they want to celebrate a gay someone, why not pick someone everyone is familiar with and comfortable with. Like Liberace. Or Rock Hudson. I mean, either one of those guys (?) would be better than some guy in SF who is unknown out of SF.

Should this pass, I will ignore it in my classroom. Will not be mentioned, will not be condoned, will not be celebrated. Test scores are in the cellar, and they want to do THAT?

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.
Phone: (916) 445-2841 (Press 1 for English, Press 2 to comment on legislation)

After calling to comment on this bill through the automated system, I called again to comment on SB60 (perennial bill to give regular drivers licenses/ID to illegal aliens). For the 2nd call, I chose Spanish (pressed 2 for Spanish, then 2 for legislation), in case they categorized support by language.

You can't comment through the Spanish menu. The recording says something to the effect that there aren't any bills pending before the governor because, as of October 14, all bills are signed or vetoed. Not sure to what year the Spanish announcer was referring. So, I guess the illegal aliens have to follow the English menu if they want to support/oppose SB60. :)

Because they need a "martyr." They need to be portrayed as victims instead of perpetrators. They need to point out "intolerent" opponents of the radical homosexual movement as being equivalent to Harvey Milk's killer.

Harvey Milk wasn’t killed for being Gay. he was killed because he was the witness to the murder of the intended target Mayor Musconi.

Let your voice be known on this bill. I did this, it is very easy and very quick, no live person just a automated system using buttons to voice your opinion....
AB 2567 passed the California Assembly and the Senate and is awaiting Governor Schwarzenegger’ s signature or veto.

Fortunately, this is not a law - at least not yet. It is on Schwarzenegger’s desk for signature. He just needs to know if he should approve this piece of garbage or VETO it.

There is a simple way to let the Governor know what you want him to do. Here is how you can make your position known:

1) Dial 1 916-445-2841. This gets you into the Governor’s phone system.

2) Press 1 for English

3) Press 2. This gets you into the poll to comment on legislation.

4) Press 1. This gets you into the queue to “vote” your opinion on AB 2567

5) Press 2 to record a NO (or veto) vote.

It takes less that 15 seconds.
