Solt Lake City (ABC4) – Utah’s lawmakers said that he would submit a bill to change the road name in Solt Lake City to honor conservative activist Charlie Kirk instead of the icon of gay rights in San Francisco.
Utah proposes MP Trevur Lee to change the name of Harvey Milk Street, which is part of 900 south, to Charlie Kerk Street. The road has been known as Harvey Milk Blvd since 2016 when the Solt Lake City Council voted unanimously to rename 900 south in its name.
Milk was a prominent figure in the LGBTQ+ community, where he became one of the first elected officials in the United States in the United States, and won a seat in the San Francisco Supervisors Council in 1977. He was assassinated the following year.
In an interview with Kron4 sister station, MP told me why he was proposing a change, saying that there is a desire to remember him since his assassination in Utah, and that the current name of the road is not related to the state.
“From the vast majority of Yunan, they may say that Harvey Milk has no connection to his fullness at all.” “But Charlie Kerk is doing now, especially after his assassination in Utah.”
Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Orem at Utah Valley University, but he has no direct contact with Salt Lake City.
He added, “It is very sad to assassinate someone because they wanted a dialogue and no one agreed to that.” “So they chose to kill him, and this is not needed in this environment. So I think it is a good way to honor someone who always wants to try to discourage, and try to communicate with the other side of the corridor on different opinions.”
according to Utah Municipality Law 10-8-32Municipalities and cities can name streets, courts, gardens and other public places and change their names. 900 seconds is not a way for the state, so it appears that the state legislative body does not have the power to change the name.
ABC4 has communicated with Democrats in Utah, Utah Praid Center, Utah Equality for comment and awaiting a response.

The draft law prohibited the presentation of any informal flags to government property, including the flags of pride. When the draft law was presented, it was published on social media Determining that the bill will prohibit the flags of pride.
Who was Harvey’s milk?
Harvey Milk was born in New York in 1930, and worked with his brother Robert in their family store as he was. After graduating from high school in 1951, milk was recruited in the US Navy and attended the school of candidates for the officer in Rod Island before being based in San Diego. He resigned from the navy in 1955 after interrogating his sexual inclination.
Milk worked in New York City, where he occupied jobs as a school teacher and stock analyst and participated in production in Broadway. He was very involved in politics during the 1960s and 1970s, moved to San Francisco in 1972, and opened the cameras store in the heart of the growing gay community in the city.
After more than a year of moving, Milk announced his candidacy for the city’s supervisor council, but he lost this race. He continued to find the Castro Village Association alongside other business owners after the area traders tried to prevent two homosexuals from opening a store.
He ran again to the city’s supervisor/joint boycott seat in 1975, but he lost this race by a slight difference. The mayor of George Muskoun at the time appointed him to the city’s bachelors council after a short period, which made the milk the first gay commissioner in the United States. He won his third attempt for the supervisor seat in 1977, and it opened on January 9, 1978.
Shortly more than ten months later, on November 27, 1978, both milk and mayor George Muskoun were shot in the city hall after Dan White, Dan White, infiltrated a window on the basement, and avoids metal detection devices at the official entrances.
