description Harvey Milk Overview
Harvey Milk was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States. His election to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors was a watershed moment for the LGBTQ+ rights movement. Milk understood that visibility was the key to political power; he encouraged gay individuals to 'come out' to their families and neighbors to humanize the movement. His tragic assassination only served to solidify his status as a martyr for equality.
Today, his legacy continues to inspire political activism and the fight for legal protections for the LGBTQ+ community worldwide.
