From the archives: Harvey Milk, the rebel with a cause
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.)

Moscone's daughter held me as a baby. His and Harvey's slaying never forgotten. Sean did a great job. RIP to all.
RIP Diane Feinstein

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 17 myself when Harvey was murdered... I'm now 63. This man opened so much for me to come out in 1978..at my grad believe it or not. Thank you Harvey Milk. 💝💐🏳️🌈
I was 10 when Milk was murdered, but he definitely helped me live my life openly & honestly.

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

omg. I say the same exact thing. we keep going thanks to people like Harvey.
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!
And on this day Diana has Pass away
wow!
Now there should be a movie or mini series about the aids struggle in this city

I was 12 years old when Harvey Milk and George Moscone were assassinated. Even at that age, I didn't buy the Twinkie Defense.
Because American society generally is in such a better place now than then. Please!

Gay people are awesome! I know I'm a Phish fan because I'm gay for Trey.
The film doesn't portray scenes when Harvey had sexual relationships with underage boys.

The film wasn't a documentary.
Dan White fought to try to keep San Francisco from turning into what it is today, but sadly just went about it the wrong way.

Why is the right always so ignorant? Same sex attraction is common among mammals. People are mammals.
If milk says it's all about everybody, WHY DID HE FOCUS ON JUST THE HOMOSEXUALS???

He was a gay man himself, and he was an activist at a time when rights for LGBT people were far fewer than they are now
Heil Dan White!🤚🏻
