In Sacramento Tuesday, representatives from SaveCalifornia.com released the results of a poll it conducted about Harvey Milk Day. According to the group, its survey found 75 percent of Californians do not support a day to honor Milk.
Pro-family activists are worried that public school teachers may commemorate the day without the consent of parents.
Milk, elected in 1977 to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, was the first openly gay man elected to public office. Milk and Mayor George Moscone were assassinated in 1978. In 2009, California established Harvey Milk Day to be celebrated on May 22.
