California Governor Signs 3 LGBT Bills

I am happy to announce that Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law three historic LGBT rights bills today that were sponsored by EQCA:

The Harvey Milk Day bill, authored by Senator Mark Leno, will honor the slain civil rights leader with the nation’s first “day of special significance” for an openly LGBT person in the country;

The Family Protection and Marriage Recognition Act, also authored by Senator Leno, underscores that same-sex couples married out of state are entitled to full recognition in California, and

The LGBT Domestic Violence Programs Expansion Bill, authored by Assemblymember John A. Pérez, will expand funding for LGBT domestic violence programs in California.

Three more steps toward LGBT equality in California!
