"Assemblymembers passed Assembly Bill 2567, which would establish May 22 as Harvey Milk Day in California, with a 45-23 vote. The legislation is authored by authored by Assemblymember Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, and sponsored by Equality California. If the measure is passed in the Senate and signed by the governor, California would become the first state in the nation to designate a day commemorating a leader of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community."
