Harvey Milk With A Gay Smile. (the happy kind of gay)

YAY! Harvey Milk was the first openly gay elected official EVER! You might have heard about a little movie called: MILK yah. the one that won a bunch of Oscars. SUCK ON THAT MISS CALIFORNIA!

Harvey Milk Day, May 22, was passed by the California Senate. Unfortunately its only in California but we at The EA Rant Blog will be celebrating it anyway! May 22 is Milk’s birthday. He would have been 79 this year. Keep reading to read his bio…

Harvey Milk settled in the Castro district of San Francisco in 1972, where he and his partner opened a camera store. Fives years later, Milk became the first openly gay man elected to public office in California and only the third openly gay elected official in the nation.

During his short political career, Milk fought for social change and championed many issues, including access to education, affordable public transportation, low-income housing and civil rights. His fundamental belief that all people should be treated with respect paved the way for the populist movement he pioneered for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights. His legacy continues to inspire the LGBT community to this day.

Milk, who was a San Francisco Supervisor, and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone were assassinated on November 27, 1978.
