This would be a terrible mistake.
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.
