Pending legislation would declare an annual Harvey Milk Day in California, a day of "special significance" in which schools would be encouraged to commemorate his life.

Alice Kessler of Equality California, a gay-rights advocacy group, said Milk is a symbol of civil rights activism and a role model for all – particularly for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth who face intolerance themselves.
