Campos wants Harvey Milk's name on SFO

[CreekDog]

47. and they are actually wrong about Milk too

before they self deleted...their statement that all Milk did was pass the pooper scooper law is factually wrong.

even though Milk only had 11 months as supervisor, he did get the anti-discrimination ordinance passed, with almost universal support among his colleagues, as well as a supportive mayor.

and he was a supervisor who cared about the everyday concerns of his neighborhood district, and as mundane as the dog law might seem, it's exactly what supervisors do, necessary even.

while he was a groundbreaking supervisor for what he represented and was, it was also groundbreaking that his neighborhood, a place with many gays in it, was a neighborhood with regular, mundane concerns and a supervisor who was attentive to them --just like Anyplace, USA.

i was too young to remember clearly any details about when Milk was killed, but in the years that followed, i can assure you that the people that mentioned his name around me didn't think that's all he did.
