I hope it goes through.  The more paid days off the better. :yeah:

Today, Harvey Milk Day... tomorrow, Cesar Chavez day... the next day, George Takei Day!

No, they'd just continue combining other, legitimate holidays together to make room.  Happy MemorialIndependenceLabor Day!  :bleeding:

Wasn't he married to Madonna?
Duh. Of course. He was gay, after all?  :rolleyes:

You seem to have missed the joke entirely.
I know he was talking about Sean Penn, you retard.

It's birthday of Harvey Milk and there is a campaign in California to make it the Harvey Milk Day. Gay organizations want to go national from there.

It's essentially intended to be the gay rights equivalent of MLK day.

Other than the fact that both were murdered, it's really a stretch to compare Harvey Milk with MLK.  That's not meant as an attack on Milk, but he's simply no MLK in terms of national importance.

That's because gays have never faced much persecution.

And you Languishites wonder why so much backlash from my side :rolleyes:
I fail to see how an attempt to make an official day to commemorate a slain politician is a reason to deny people civil rights. You are a pathetic, lowlife homophobe and your attempts at "justifying" it that way are laughable.

Does Harvey Milk have a patsy brute that everyone and their mother has killed?  :huh:

Shouldn't be a day to celebrate straight, white dudes? Like "Dan White" Day on November 27th?

Every day is a day to celebrate being a heterosexual white male.  The master race, and all that.

Apparently you don't know American or British English either. :(
