May 22 is Harvey Milk Day. In California, the day was established in 2009 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Milk was a politician who became the first openly gay person to be
elected to public office in California when he won a seat on the San
Francisco Board of Supervisors. Milk served almost 11 months in office, passing
an important gay rights ordinance for the city. On November 27, 1978,
Milk and Mayor George Moscone were assassinated by Dan White, another
city supervisor.
We don't make progress in the fight for civil rights without courageous and motivated people like Harvey Milk.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.
IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
