Happy Harvey Milk Day

Harvey Milk was the first openly gay American to be elected to public office. Before he was murdered by former city supervisor, Dan White, Harvey Milk made real changes for LGBT people in San Francisco, California, and across the nation. He said:

Hope will never be silent.

He also encouraged gays to come out. He wisely believed that it is harder to discriminate against someone you know personally. I think he’d be happy in the recent progress we’ve made in the civil rights of LGBT people in this country. Let’s keep up the momentum!
