Governors Office Saturated With Anti-Gay Lies Regarding Harvey Milk Day Bill

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger may possibly veto the Harvey Milk Day Bill as he did last year due to outrage and opposition from religious extremists. Harvey Milk Day would honor the slain gay rights hero on May 22nd of each year, but would not force schools to shut down or celebrate the day in any way.

The governor needs to hear input from people who understand the significance of teaching about the legacy of Harvey Milk.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Seeks Input on Harvey Milk Day

Tell the Governor Harvey Milk Matters

Sign the petition to Governor Schwarzenegger urging him to sign the legislation making May 22 “Harvey Milk Day” in the State of California.

Last year, Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed the bill, saying that Milk was a figure of only local significance.

Harvey Milk was—and still is—an inspiration not only as one of the first openly gay men elected to office, but as a trail blazer who understood the value of working with allies, the importance of living our lives openly with authenticity and the power that our stories have to change hearts and minds.

Make sure the Governor knows how important Harvey is to all Californians. Sign the petition above and call the governors office. It is automated, and you don't need to speak to anyone to voice your opinion!
