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.

Pretty funny coming from a foreign fag that didn't even know who Harvey Milk was until Hollywood told him.

I'd prefer Mathew Shepard Day, anyway.  That way, we can celebrate it by going out and rolling fags, crucifying them in cornfields.  Fun for the whole family.
