Celebrating Harvey Milk's legacy on his birthday in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood

People gathered to celebrate Harvey Milk, the iconic gay activist, who served as San Francisco supervisor. He would have turned 95-years-old on May 22, 2025. He was the first openly gay man elected to public office in California. Milk was assassinated by a fellow supervisor in 1978, but he leaves behind a lasting legacy of battling anti-gay initiatives and fighting for equality.
