San Francisco International could be re-named after gay martyr
San Francisco International Airport could be re-named "Harvey Milk San Francisco International Airport" if a new proposal to add the slain gay rights hero’s name to the title is given the green light.
The idea was initially proposed by San Francisco Supervisor David Campos, a civic authority representing District 9, which includes the famous Mission district.
Although it would seem a bit of a no-brainer, the idea has stirred controversy reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. Heather Knight reports on her SF Gate blog that other candidates’ camps are not happy including those who wanted the airport named after former Mayor Joe Alioto and supporters of late Rep. Tom Lantos, a holocaust survivor and human rights advocate.
Knight reports that other names have been put forward to be honored with the airport tag including Senator Dianne Fienstein and San Francisco Chronicle columnist Willie Brown.
The list of people born in or connected with San Francisco is long. How about Isadora Duncan, Bruce Lee or Clint Eastwood International Airport? What do you think about the idea of re-naming SFO after Harvey Milk? If not Milk, what would be your best suggestion?
