LGBTQI-Z / Transportation Bigots Will Have to Fly Into Oakland and Take BART

Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 1:58 PM

SF Chronicle:

A San Francisco supervisor wants to rename the city's airport in honor of civil rights leader Harvey Milk, a change supporters said would send a global message about the importance and struggles of gays and lesbians for equality. Supervisor David Campos will introduce legislation Tuesday that would place the proposal to rename San Francisco International Airport as Harvey Milk San Francisco International Airport before voters in November. To send the name change to voters, Campos needs the support of five other supervisors, and Monday he already had four co-sponsors.

I love this idea—and I can't wait to read the first story about someone's luggage being lost in "the bowels" of Harvey Milk.
