I don’t agree. They just put up a plaque in front of his old camera shop, and high school students were visiting to check it off on a history scavenger hunt. This was reported on NPR on Friday.

I think the board should approve a resolution, watered down or not… My parents didn’t know Milk, but we had friends who did. It was a really big deal here in the Bay Area when he and Moscone were killed.

Milk did not rise to the stature of a national leader, but it was a milestone when he was elected. He also helped lead the fight to defeat Prop 6, which would have required school boards to root out and fire gay teachers. To me that is worthy of commemoration, even though the guy did not live to do more.

And if the board wants to commemorate the first woman elected, bring it on :-)

This horse is dead now. Even SF is not making a big deal over it.
