Gov. Arnie is just full of surprises these days:
SFGate: Politics Blog : California’s official Harvey Milk Day “an idea whose time has come”
and, the haters, true to form:Harvey Milk Day, a state day to honor the slain San Francisco gay rights advocate, is now official in California thanks to a somewhat unexpected signature Monday from Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has vetoed such legislation in the past.
The bill was one of two key gay rights bills authored by State Senator Mark Leno of San Francisco, who says he’s “pleasantly surprised” that the governor put his pen to both; the other bill makes gay marriages performed in other states legal in California.
“Harvey Milk* was a sexual predator of teens, an advocate of polygamous relationships, a public liar, and is in no way a good role model for impressionable schoolchildren,” said Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com. “Sadly, children in public schools will now have even more in-your-face, homosexual-bisexual-transsexual indoctrination. This provides the strongest impetus yet for loving parents to remove their children from anti-family public schools.”I bet they have lionized and canonized his and Mayor George Moscone’s assassin, Dan “I’m quitting” White, though when a search for “dan white” on the “Save California” website turned up this:“’Harvey Milk Day’ teaches children as young as five years old to admire the life and values and the notorious homosexual activist Harvey Milk” said Thomasson. “The ‘suitable commemorative exercises’ that are part of ‘Harvey Milk Day’ can easily result in cross-dressing exercises, ‘LGBT pride’ parades and mock gay weddings on school campuses — everything Harvey Milk supported.”
