This has very little to do with the guy being gay. Your failure(s) to acknowledge the main reason why this man's life should be remembered shows just how important it is to set aside a day for remembrance. The facts are:
- Both Harvey Milk and George Moscone were killed in cold blood by Dan White, arguably because of his sexuality(which could just as well been replaced with any religious or political stance).
- Dan White got off with a slap on the wrists and very little time in jail, FOR MURDER(which, should I remind you, is A LIFE SENTENCE for anyone other than this 'special citizen,' Dan White).
- Dan White was released back on the streets in '84, 6 years from the murders he committed.
Would you be 'ok' with being killed because you were straight, democrat, republican, christian, jewish or pro-choice? I don't care to be discriminated against because I am Atheist and I damn sure won't stand by as someone else is being discriminated against for being black, gay, an immigrant, etc; because IF WE ARE NOT ALL FREE THEN NONE OF US ARE FREE. You need to stop feeling so cozy with the freedom you enjoy America. Right now your fellow man needs you to stand up for the rights that you take advantage of, and you're trying to use a 2000+ year old book to justify it. For shame America.

Ridiculous! Being a homo doesn't need to be celebrated. Society is totally going to hell. Let me know when Charlie-the-sheep-fucker day is, so I can sleep in!

I'm tired of people wanting "special" days for causes. I don't think making a Harvey Milk day is going to change the way some people feel about homosexuality. You don't see them introducing a day to celebrate heterosexuality or a Caucasian History month. It's part of American history or in this case California history. It's a nice gesture, but I don't think Arnold is going to allow it again. He's got more important things he should be working on, like, getting Cali out of the poor house.
