  • In 1977 Harvey Milk became the first openly-gay man elected to public office in the U.S., when he won a seat on San Francisco's Board of Supervisors. The following year, he and Mayor George Moscone were killed by a fellow official. In this November 30, 2008 "Sunday Morning" report by correspondent John Blackstone, Senator Diane Feinstein, who was on the city's Board of Supervisors in 1978, talked about the horror she witnessed the day of Milk and Muscone's murders. (Feinstein died on Sept. 28, 2023, at age 90.)

      I was in San Fransisco when Harvey Milk was Campaining I should have been in class Art History in CCA at the time. But I really wanted to hear Him speak it was more important around 11:30 AM. I Had a button and a post card from Harvey He handed to me me. I said' I approved of Gay Rights' and He handed me a button and and a postcard, and I talked with Harvey Milk about 10 minutes And I kept the Button.Then went on with my day.Of course . I was shocked Mayor Mosconey was Shot AsWell as Harvey Milk. I also marched in the evening with a candle and cried it was such a tragedy

    I was at his shop earlier this year when I took a trip down to San Francisco from my home in Portland. The shop is now a art gallery for young artist in the area. Standing in the former shop you could almost feel the man’s presence. I also felt his presence as as Moscone in City Hall. It was tragic to lose then but Harvey is very much a hero to me. Heck both of them are

    I was 15 when Harvey was killed. He brought about a change that affected me personally. Coming out as an adult was a challenge but learned to keep my wits about me. I'll never trade that experience to anything!

    Harvey Milk had relationships with men who were significantly younger than him. Notably, his relationship with Jack Galen McKinley, who was 16 years old when they first met, took place in New York. Milk was in his mid-30s at the time. During this period, the age of consent in New York was 17, making McKinley under the age of consent at the start of their relationship. No legal charges were brought against him during his lifetime.
