Honor.
 
 

Marriage ain't the only gay happening in California. Lawmakers yesterday introduced a bill that would honor assassinated San Francisco city manager Harvey Milk, who was the nation's first openly gay elected politician: "If made into law, the bill would make Milk’s birthday, May 22, a day of significance and 'all public schools and educational institutions are encouraged to observe (it) and to conduct suitable commemorative exercises.'"
