Though Milk was assassated 11 months after he was elected to office, his legacy of fightg for gay rights has spired a new generatn of civic activists across the Uned Stat, fightg for sexual equaly and the expansn of civil liberti for gays and lbians. The rts that followed the raid, which beme known as the Stonewall Rts, led to the public exposure of police btaly, sparkg the first gay rights anizatn the U.

From the history of other mory groups Ameri, Milk knew that the only way to tly achieve equaly would be for a gay person to be elected to public office. Acrdg to Milk, “There is a major difference – and remas a val difference – between a iend and a gay person, a iend office and a gay person office…It’s not enough anymore jt to have iends reprent . After losg his first three mpaigns, Milk was elected Supervisor of the cy of San Francis 1977, and as the first openly gay man elected to public office the Uned Stat, Harvey Milk had already reached a tone the fight for gay rights.

Milk sought not only to change the stereotyp that existed about gays, but to also promote a legal amework that supports gays, cludg the passage of a gay rights bill, and speakg out agast a barrage of legislatn which would rtrict gays’ civil and polil liberti. Before pneerg the fight for gay rights, Milk led a dual life like most gay men: hidg his sexual inty durg the day, then gog home to his domtic partner. Once Milk was swept up the unter-culture of the 1960s and the gay rights liberatn movement 1972, he was surprised that spe the large gay populatn San Francis, immense equali still existed.

Perhaps the bt example of this me durg a speech Milk ma at the June 1978 Gay Freedom Day Para, where he clared, “On the Statue of Liberty says: ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled mass yearng to be ee…’ In the Declaratn of Inpennce, is wrten: ‘All men are created equal and they are endowed wh certa alienable rights…’ And our Natnal Anthem, says: ‘Oh, say do that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave over the land of the ee. To highlight his unrlyg drive for equal opportuny, Milk would often reference two gay teenagers who ntacted him om Richmond, Mnota and Altoona, Pennsylvania: “The only thg they have to look forward to is hope. State and lol ernments passed laws that shut down bars terg to homosexuals and performed “sweeps” to rid neighborhoods and lol hangouts of gay men and women.

Even though Jimmy Carter had bee print 1976 on a platform that supported human rights, and many stat had place laws that protected gays and lbians om discrimatn, a nservative opposn began to rerce anti-gay stereotyp. Th, the gay rights movement lnched a grassroots effort to elect Milk to San Francis’s Board of Supervisors; while his first attempts were unsuccsful, Milk gradually began growg a base of support. He nvced the growg gay mass of ‘Sodom by the Sea’ that they uld have a role cy learship, and they turned out to form ‘human billboards’ for him along major thoroughfar.

” Milk reached out to anyone his district who would listen by nvassg neighborhoods, turng his mera store to an official voter registratn post while leadg multiple ralli for gay rights. In November 1978, after Milk took office, he was nonted wh a piece of anti-gay legislatn known as the Briggs Iniative, or Proposn 6, which would bar gays om teachg schools. Bee the iative vered the whole state of California, Milk unrstood that the only way to nvce Californians that gays should not be fired simply bee of their sexual orientatn was for closeted gays to e out.

Milk urged gays all over the Uned Stat to e out of the closet, even clarg, “If a bullet should enter my bra, let that bullet stroy every closet door. ” Proposn 6 was feated by over one ln vot on November 7, 1978, wh the support of both Ronald Reagan and Print Jimmy Carter, heraldg a new tolerance for gays natnwi. ” Milk would e his soap-box and bullhorn, rallyg the gay muny wh the slogan “My name is Harvey Milk and I’m here to rec you” to march thoands through the cy of San Francis, but he never let his supporters get out of ntrol.

Milk quickly disvered that his fight for equaly was supported by not only gays, but also straight workg-class, elrly and mory voters, who reprented a signifint chunk of the votg populatn San Francis.
