Just read the following headline –Schwarzenegger creates day honoring Harvey Milk.
“He has become much more of a symbol of the gay community than he was a year ago because of those things,” Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear said. “That made the difference from last year: he’s really come to symbolize the gay community in California”
In his veto message a year ago, the Republican governor said Milk should be honored locally by those who were most impacted by his contributions. He did not write a signing message this year saying why he flip-flopped.
Hopefully, Columbus Day revelers weren’t upset by this news happening on their day.
