San Francisco official seeks to rename airport for Harvey Milk

San Francisco Supervisor David Campos is readying legislation that seeks to honorslain civil rights leader Harvey Milk by adding his name to San Francisco International Airport. The bill would allow voters to decide the issue. 

"San Francisco has always been at the forefront of the fight for LGBT equality, and so people come here from around the country and around the world because of that, and for 40 million people a year to land at Harvey Milk International Airport sends an incredible message to the world," said Supervisor Scott Wiener, who supports the measure.
