Thursday, California legislators took another step towards passing a bill that would make May 22nd Harvey Milk Day in the state, as the Senate voted 24-14 in favor, sending the proposal to the Assembly for a full vote. All twenty-three Democrats present voted yes, but somewhat surprisingly one Republican, Abel Maldonado, from Santa Maria, bravely voted in favor, despite having cast a no vote only last year. Maldonado said two factors helped change his mind. One, he said he actually read the bill, and found behind the hysterical lies told by opponents, who wrongly suggest the Harvey Milk Day is another part of the homosexual agenda, the measure acts to “encourage” schools to teach about Harvey Milk and his struggle to bring about gay equal rights. Two, the testimony of one Dustin Lance Black, who Maldonado said he empathized with tremendously.
