Okay, so one of my biggest inspirations and possibly my favorite person that has ever existed is none other than Harvey Milk. For those who don't know of him, he was the first openly gay man elected to public office in California. He was elected during the late 70's. Unfortunately, Harvey Milk's time in office was cut short when on November 27, 1978 Dan White assassinated Milk and the mayor of San Francisco, George Moscone. His most famous and greatest accomplishment was his formation of Castro Street as a highly accepting place where gays were accepted. To this day, San Fransisco is known as a very accepting place.
^^^ In the picture above, Harvey Milk is in front of his store, Castro Camera, on Castro Street. This is a great depiction of him because when people describe him, they say he was always smiling and just a happy person.
Milk is the man who inspired people to take a stand against unfair treatment and today America continues the fight for equal human rights. Hopefully, next time you think of Prop 8 or any other gay rights problems, you realize that Harvey Milk is truly a hero and that if it wasn't for him, gay people could not possibly live as freely as they do now.
Nice post. It's really interesting, informing and to the point. Harvey Milk is truely a hero and people need to think twice before saying no on Proposition 8. Overall, a very good post.
