Harvey Milk should be celebrating his 80th birthday today. He can’t, but GLBT activists and their allies are going to.
“The creation of the first official day of recognition for any openly gay person in the history of this country has really touched people, many of whom have been closeted in life or faced rejection or government discrimination which continues to this day,” said Geoffrey Kors, executive director of the gay rights group Equality California.
Celebrations are planned throughout the country. Check and see if there’s one close to you.
