People in the state of California, or at least those who have their ear to the ground on California issue, may remember that last year, a bill was proposed that would designate May 22nd as "Harvey Milk Day" in the state. The bill itself said:

Existing law requires the Governor to proclaim certain days each
year for specified reasons. Existing law also designates particular
days each year as having special significance in public schools and
educational institutions and encourages those entities to conduct
suitable commemorative exercises on those dates.
This bill would require the Governor to proclaim May 22 of each
year as Harvey Milk Day, and would designate that date as having
special significance in public schools and educational institutions
and encourage those entities to conduct suitable commemorative
exercises on that date.
