California Governor signs bill honoring Harvey Milk

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bill commemorating Harvey Milk, the first openly gay politician elected to public office in the state, a spokesman for the governor said Monday.

Milk was assassinated in 1978.

Under the measure, the governor each year would proclaim May 22 -- Milk's birthday -- as a day of significance across the state.

Milk was a "unique" historical figure who led a civil rights movement and then was "assassinated in his public office for being who he was."

And the fight continues for Equality and Gay rights. Kudos.
