A Utah lawmaker is pushing to rename a road that honors gay-rights activist Harvey Milk to instead pay tribute to assassinated conservative leader Charlie Kirk.
Republican state Rep. Trevor Lee introduced a bill to rename Harvey Milk Boulevard, a portion of 900 South running through Salt Lake City, as Charlie Kirk Boulevard.
He called it fitting because Kirk’s assassination was in the Beehive State, while New York-born activist Milk was gunned down in California.
“From the vast majority of Utahns, they would say that Harvey Milk does not have any connection to Utah whatsoever,” the lawmaker told ABC 4 said of the LGBT activist killed in 1978.
“But Charlie Kirk does now, especially after being assassinated in the state of Utah.” 4
