"On a rainy day in January, on the steps of San Francisco's City Hall, Harvey Milk was sworn into office, the first openly gay elected city official in the United States of America. Harvey Milk had made history." In making history that day, Minnie Milk's intelligent, energetic and courageous son "showed the world that by not being afraid to be yourself, you can give others the courage to be proud of who they are." Harvey's legacy is everywhere today in the hundreds of openly gay elected officials in every level of government, including the United States Congress.
