One News Now----The San Diego City Council recently voted 8-0
to name a two-block portion of a street in honor of Harvey Milk. Now,
with a vote of 2-1, a San Francisco Board of Supervisors committee has
okayed a Democratic congressman's resolution asking the Navy to name a
ship after the late homosexual activist. Rep. Bob Filner says doing
so would be a great way to pay tribute to the state's first openly
homosexual man elected to public office and to honor President Barack
Obama's repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Milk
served in the Navy before he became a supervisor in San Francisco.
Dran Reese of The Salt & Light Council is dismayed by how the state has shifted in favor of homosexuality.
"It
seems that we are on a landslide right at this moment, where those who
want to promote the homosexual lifestyle and have their symbols
everywhere in this state are doing a very good job of it," she shares.
Supervisor Christina Olague opposes the resolution because Milk was opposed to war. In fact, according to Fox News,
some of the strongest opposition to the proposal seems to be from the
"gay" community. Olague prefers a national holiday honoring Milk.
"The pressure is on, and with this current administration [being] very
pro-homosexual, it does make it a little bit more difficult," Reese
admits. "Pressure has been applied, and I hope that they will not cave."
