AB 2567 will set aside May 22nd as ‘Harvey Milk Day’ for all of California. Most citizens have no idea who Mr. Milk is or why he deserves a special state-recognized holiday.
In the homosexual community Harvey Milk is considered a “civil rights” leader for his work in advancing homosexual “rights” in California. A resident of the infamous Castro district in San Francisco, Milk was one of the first homosexual elected officials in America.
He was killed in 1978 by a fellow San Francisco county supervisor. Considered a martyr for the homosexual movement, Milk is now a hero for the homosexual community.
Under AB 2567, schools will be encouraged to participate in the state holiday by promoting Mr. Milk and homosexuality.
