LONG BEACH, CA – In honor of the city’s gay pride celebration this week, the City of Long Beach, California, has decided to name a park located on the beach after former San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk. The name change was proposed by City Council-man Robert Garcia who is openly gay. All other members signed on to the name proposal except for one, Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske, who is openly lesbian, saying she preferred to name the park either “Unity Plaza” or “Human Rights Plaza”.
