Remember MILK

Harvey Bernard Milk (May 22, 1930 – November 27, 1978) was an American politician and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Milk served almost eleven months as city supervisor and was responsible for passing a stringent gay rights ordinance in San Francisco. On November 27, 1978, Milk and Mayor George Moscone were assassinated by Dan White, another city supervisor who had recently resigned and wanted his job back.

"Today San Francisco has experienced a double tragedy of immense proportions ... It is my duty to inform you that both Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk have been shot and killed"
said Dianne Feinstein.

30 years later, the bigots kill our right...
