California Family Council: Statement Regarding Legislature’s Passage of “Harvey Milk Day” Bill

California Family Council: “Today the California State Legislature sent Senate Bill 572, authored by Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for his signature. SB 572 would require the governor of California to annually proclaim May 22asHarvey Milk Day to honor the first openly homosexual politician.”

The California Family Council also reports  that the Cal. Assembly has approved SB 54 authored by Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco): “SB 54 requires the state of California to validate and recognize same-sex marriages performed outside the state of California prior to November 5, 2008. The bill specifically violates Article I, Section 7.5 of the California Constitution which states ‘Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.’”
