Milk, a gay rights activist gunned down in San Francisco in 1978, would have turned 92 on Sunday

He was 48 years old. “There’s a saying that if you haven’t seen it, you can’t be it,” Gloria said. “Because Harvey existed, because the people of San Francisco elected him to the Board of Supervisors, he created an opportunity for all of us to understand we can, too, serve in elected office.”
