Calif. panel OKs honors for gay leader Harvey Milk

Posted on May 7, 2009 
Filed Under Uncategorized

With encouragement from an Oscar-winning screenwriter, a state Senate committee approved legislation Wednesday that would designate a day honoring slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk.

The Senate Education Committee voted 7-2 to send the bill by Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, to the full Senate.

It would designate each May 22 — Milk’s birthday — as Harvey Milk Day. The “day of special significance” would recognize Milk’s life and contributions to the state but would not be an official holiday, meaning there would be no cost to state government.
