He acknowledged his homosexuality in adolescence but secretly pursued sexual relationships well into adulthood. The <a href="/wiki/Counterculture_of_the_1960s" title="Counterculture of the 1960s">counterculture of the 1960s</a> caused him to shed many of his conservative views about individual freedom and sexual expression. Milk moved to San Francisco in 1972 and opened a camera store. Although he held an assortment of jobs and frequently changed addresses, he settled in <a href="/wiki/Castro_District,_San_Francisco" title="Castro District, San Francisco">the Castro</a>, a neighborhood that was experiencing a mass immigration of gay men and lesbians. He ran for city supervisor in 1973 but the existing gay political establishment resisted him. Milk's campaign was compared to theater due to his personality, earning media attention and votes, although not enough to be elected. He campaigned again in the next two supervisor elections, dubbing himself the "Mayor of Castro Street". The voter response caused him to also run for the <a href="/wiki/California_State_Assembly" title="California State Assembly">California State Assembly</a>. Due to his growing popularity, he led the <a href="/wiki/Gay_rights_movement" class="mw-redirect" title="Gay rights movement">gay rights movement</a> in battles against anti-gay initiatives. Milk was elected city supervisor in 1977 after San Francisco began to choose neighborhood representatives rather than city-wide ones. During Milk's almost eleven months in office, he sponsored a bill banning discrimination based on sexual orientation in public accommodations, housing, and employment. The Supervisors passed the bill by a vote of 11–1, and Mayor <a href="/wiki/George_Moscone" title="George Moscone">George Moscone</a> signed it into law. On November 27, 1978, <a href="/wiki/Moscone%E2%80%93Milk_assassinations" title="Moscone–Milk assassinations">Milk and Moscone were assassinated</a> by <a href="/wiki/Dan_White" title="Dan White">Dan White</a>, a disgruntled former city supervisor who cast the sole vote against Milk's bill. Despite his short political career, Milk became an icon in San Francisco and a martyr in the LGBTQ community.<a href="#cite_note-2">[note 1]</a> In 2002, Milk was called "the most famous and most significant openly <a href="/wiki/LGBTQ" title="LGBTQ">LGBTQ</a> official ever elected in the United States".<a href="#cite_note-3">[2]</a> <a href="/wiki/Anne_Kronenberg" title="Anne Kronenberg">Anne Kronenberg</a>, his final campaign manager, wrote of him: "What set Harvey apart from you or me was that he was a visionary.

An organizer asked Milk for assistance with gay bars; in return, Milk asked the union to hire more gay drivers. A few days later, Milk canvassed the gay bars in and surrounding the Castro District, urging them to refuse to sell the beer. With the help of a coalition of Arab and Chinese grocers the Teamsters had also recruited, the boycott was successful.<a href="#cite_note-51">[48]</a> Milk found a strong political ally in <a href="/wiki/Trade_union" title="Trade union">organized labor</a>, and it was around this time that he began to style himself "The Mayor of Castro Street".<a href="#cite_note-52">[49]</a> As Castro Street's presence grew, so did Milk's reputation.

In 1973, two gay men tried to open an antique shop, but the Eureka Valley Merchants Association (EVMA) attempted to prevent them from receiving a business license. Milk and a few other gay business owners founded the Castro Village Association, with Milk as the president. He often repeated his philosophy that gays should buy from gay businesses.

Moscone had been instrumental in repealing the sodomy law earlier that year in the California State Legislature. He acknowledged Milk's influence in his election by visiting Milk's election night headquarters, thanking Milk personally, and offering him a position as a city commissioner. Milk came in seventh place in the election, only one position away from earning a supervisor seat.<a href="#cite_note-58">[55]</a> Despite the new leadership in the city, there were still conservative strongholds. In one of Moscone's first acts as mayor, he appointed a police chief to the embattled <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco_Police_Department" title="San Francisco Police Department">San Francisco Police Department</a> (SFPD). He chose <a href="/wiki/Charles_Gain" title="Charles Gain">Charles Gain</a>, against the wishes of the SFPD.

On psychiatric disability leave from the military, Sipple refused to call himself a hero and did not want his sexuality disclosed.<a href="#cite_note-sippletime-63">[59]</a> Milk, however, took advantage of the opportunity to illustrate his cause that the public perception of gay people would be improved if they came out of the closet. He told a friend: "It's too good an opportunity.

Rick Stokes replaced him. Milk's firing, and the backroom deal made between Moscone, the assembly speaker, and Agnos, fueled his campaign as he took on the identity of a political underdog.<a href="#cite_note-shiltsmachine-70">[65]</a> He railed that high officers in the city and state governments were against him. He complained that the prevailing gay political establishment, particularly the Alice B. Toklas Memorial Democratic Club, were shutting him out; he referred to Jim Foster and Stokes as gay "<a href="/wiki/Uncle_Tom#Epithet" title="Uncle Tom">Uncle Toms</a>".<a href="#cite_note-castroI-47">[44]</a> He enthusiastically embraced a local independent weekly magazine's headline: "Harvey Milk vs. The Machine".<a href="#cite_note-ewb-6">[5]</a> The Alice B. Toklas Club made no endorsement in the primary—neither Milk nor Agnos—while other gay-aligned clubs and groups endorsed Agnos or did dual endorsements.<a href="#cite_note-71">[66]</a> Milk's continuing campaign, run from the storefront of Castro Camera, was a study in disorganization. Although the older Irish grandmothers and gay men who volunteered were plentiful and happy to send out mass mailings, Milk's notes and volunteer lists were kept on scrap papers. Any time the campaign required funds, the money came from the cash register without any consideration for accounting.<a href="#cite_note-shiltsmachine-70">[65]</a> The campaign manager's assistant was an 11-year-old neighborhood girl.<a href="#cite_note-72">[67]</a> Milk himself was hyperactive and prone to fantastic outbursts of temper, only to recover quickly and shout excitedly about something else. Many of his rants were directed at his lover, Scott Smith, who was becoming disillusioned with the man who was no longer the laid-back hippie he had fallen in love with.<a href="#cite_note-shiltsmachine-70">[65]</a> If the candidate was manic, he was also dedicated and filled with good humor, and he had a particular genius for getting media attention.<a href="#cite_note-73">[68]</a> He spent long hours registering voters and shaking hands at bus stops and movie theater lines. He took whatever opportunity came along to promote himself. He thoroughly enjoyed campaigning, and his success was evident.<a href="#cite_note-castroI-47">[44]</a> With the large numbers of volunteers, he had dozens at a time stand along the busy thoroughfare of Market Street as human billboards, holding "Milk for Assembly" signs while commuters drove into the heart of the city to work.<a href="#cite_note-74">[69]</a> He distributed his campaign literature anywhere he could, including one of the most influential political groups in the city, the <a href="/wiki/Peoples_Temple" title="Peoples Temple">Peoples Temple</a>. Milk accepted Temple volunteers to work his phones. On February 19, 1978, Milk wrote a letter to President Jimmy Carter defending cult leader <a href="/wiki/Jim_Jones" title="Jim Jones">Jim Jones</a> as "a man of the highest character" when asked.<a href="#cite_note-75">[70]</a><a href="#cite_note-76">[71]</a><a href="#cite_note-milk_let-77">[72]</a> Milk's relationship with the Temple was similar to other politicians' in Northern California.

I'll take his workers, but, that's the game Jim Jones plays." But to his volunteers, he said: "Make sure you're always nice to the Peoples Temple. If they ask you to do something, do it, and then send them a note thanking them for asking you to do it."<a href="#cite_note-79">[74]</a> The race was close, and Milk lost by fewer than 4,000 votes.<a href="#cite_note-80">[75]</a><a href="#cite_note-81">[76]</a> Agnos taught Milk a valuable lesson when he criticized Milk's campaign speeches as "a downer ...

You shouldn't leave your audience on a down."<a href="#cite_note-82">[77]</a> In the wake of his loss, Milk, realizing that the Toklas Club would never support him politically, co-founded the <a href="/wiki/Harvey_Milk_LGBTQ_Democratic_Club" title="Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club">San Francisco Gay Democratic Club</a>.<a href="#cite_note-83">[78]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"><h2 id="Broader_historical_forces">Broader historical forces</h2></div><section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> The fledgling gay rights movement had yet to meet organized opposition in the US.

Gay activists were shocked to see how little support they received. An impromptu demonstration of over 3,000 Castro residents formed the night of the Dade County ordinance vote. Gay men and lesbians were simultaneously angry, chanting "Out of the bars and into the streets!", and elated at their passionate and powerful response. The San Francisco Examiner reported that members of the crowd pulled others out of bars along Castro and Polk Streets to "deafening" cheers.<a href="#cite_note-sfexam6/8/78-88">[82]</a> Milk led marchers that night on a five-mile (8 km) course through the city, constantly moving, aware that if they stopped for too long there would be a riot.

Seventeen candidates from the Castro District entered the next race for supervisor; more than half of them were gay. <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> ran an exposé on the veritable invasion of gay people into San Francisco, estimating that the city's gay population was between 100,000 and 200,000 out of a total 750,000.<a href="#cite_note-Gold11/6/77-97">[91]</a> The Castro Village Association had grown to 90 businesses; the local bank, formerly the smallest branch in the city, had become the largest and was forced to build a wing to accommodate its new customers.<a href="#cite_note-98">[92]</a> Milk biographer Randy Shilts noted that his campaign was fueled by "broader historical forces".<a href="#cite_note-99">[93]</a> Milk's most successful opponent was the quiet and thoughtful lawyer Rick Stokes, who was backed by the Alice B. Toklas Memorial Democratic Club. Stokes was open about his homosexuality long before Milk had, and had experienced more severe treatment, once hospitalized and forced to endure <a href="/wiki/Electroconvulsive_therapy" title="Electroconvulsive therapy">electroshock therapy</a> to 'cure' him.<a href="#cite_note-100">[94]</a> Milk, however, was more expressive about the role of gay people and their issues in San Francisco politics. Stokes was quoted saying, "I'm just a businessman who happens to be gay," and expressed the view that any normal person could also be homosexual. Milk's contrasting populist philosophy was relayed to The New York Times: "We don't want sympathetic liberals, we want gays to represent gays ... I represent the gay street people—the 14-year-old runaway from <a href="/wiki/San_Antonio" title="San Antonio">San Antonio</a>. We have to make up for hundreds of years of persecution. We have to give hope to that poor runaway kid from San Antonio. They go to the bars because churches are hostile. They need hope! They need a piece of the pie!"<a href="#cite_note-Gold11/6/77-97">[91]</a> Other causes were also important to Milk: he promoted larger and less expensive child care facilities, free public transportation, and the development of a board of civilians to oversee the police.<a href="#cite_note-scribner-5">[4]</a> He advanced important neighborhood issues at every opportunity. Milk used the same manic campaign tactics as in previous races: human billboards, hours of handshaking, and dozens of speeches calling on gay people to have hope. This time, the San Francisco Chronicle endorsed him for supervisor.<a href="#cite_note-101">[95]</a> On election day, November 8, 1977, he won by 30% against sixteen other candidates, and after his victory became apparent, he arrived on Castro Street on the back of his campaign manager's motorcycle—escorted by Sheriff <a href="/wiki/Richard_Hongisto" title="Richard Hongisto">Richard Hongisto</a>—to what a newspaper story described as a "tumultuous and moving welcome".<a href="#cite_note-102">[96]</a> Milk had recently taken a new lover, a young man named Jack Lira, who was frequently drunk in public, and just as often escorted out of political events by Milk's aides.<a href="#cite_note-103">[97]</a> Since the race for the California State Assembly, Milk was receiving increasingly violent death threats.<a href="#cite_note-104">[98]</a> Concerned that his raised profile marked him as a target for assassination, he recorded on tape his thoughts, and whom he wanted to succeed him if he were killed,<a href="#cite_note-giteck-105">[99]</a> adding: "If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door".<a href="#cite_note-106">[100]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(4)"><h2 id="Supervisor">Supervisor</h2></div><section class="mf-section-4 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-4"> Milk's swearing-in made national headlines, as he became the first non-incumbent openly gay man in the United States to win an election for public office.<a href="#cite_note-cone1/8/1978-107">[101]</a><a href="#cite_note-108">[note 7]</a> He likened himself to pioneering African American baseball player <a href="/wiki/Jackie_Robinson" title="Jackie Robinson">Jackie Robinson</a><a href="#cite_note-109">[102]</a> and walked to City Hall arm in arm with Jack Lira, stating "You can stand around and throw bricks at Silly Hall or you can take it over.

In his first meeting with Mayor Moscone, Milk called himself the "number one queen" and dictated to Moscone that he would have to go through Milk instead of the Alice B. Toklas Memorial Democratic Club if he wanted the city's gay votes—a quarter of San Francisco's voting population.<a href="#cite_note-112">[105]</a> Milk also became Moscone's closest ally on the Board of Supervisors.<a href="#cite_note-113">[106]</a> The biggest targets of Milk's ire were large corporations and real estate developers. He fumed when a parking garage was slated to take the place of homes near the downtown area, and tried to pass a commuter tax so office workers who lived outside the city and drove into work would have to pay for city services they used.<a href="#cite_note-114">[107]</a> Milk was often willing to vote against Feinstein and other more tenured members of the board. In one controversy early in his term, Milk agreed with fellow Supervisor Dan White, whose district was located two miles south of the Castro, that a mental health facility for troubled adolescents should not be placed there. After Milk learned more about the facility, he decided to switch his vote, ensuring White's loss on the issue—a particularly poignant cause that White championed while campaigning. White did not forget it. He opposed every initiative and issue Milk supported.<a href="#cite_note-115">[108]</a> Milk began his tenure by sponsoring a civil rights bill that outlawed discrimination based on sexual orientation. The ordinance was called the "most stringent and encompassing in the nation", and its passing demonstrated "the growing political power of homosexuals", according to The New York Times.<a href="#cite_note-116">[109]</a> Only Supervisor White voted against it; Mayor Moscone enthusiastically signed it into law with a light blue pen that Milk had given him for the occasion.<a href="#cite_note-117">[110]</a> Another bill Milk concentrated on was designed to solve the number one problem according to a recent citywide poll: dog excrement. Within a month of being sworn in, he began to work on a city ordinance to require dog owners to scoop their pets' feces. Dubbed the "pooper scooper law", its authorization by the Board of Supervisors was covered extensively by television and newspapers in San Francisco. Anne Kronenberg, Milk's campaign manager, called him "a master at figuring out what would get him covered in the newspaper".<a href="#cite_note-timesdoc-118">[111]</a> He invited the press to <a href="/wiki/Duboce_Park" title="Duboce Park">Duboce Park</a> to explain why it was necessary, and while cameras were rolling, stepped in the offending substance, seemingly by mistake. His staffers knew he had been at the park for an hour before the press conference looking for the right place to walk in front of the cameras.<a href="#cite_note-119">[112]</a> It earned him the most fan mail of his tenure in politics and went out on national news releases. Milk had grown tired of Lira's drinking and considered breaking up with him when Lira called a few weeks later and demanded Milk come home. When Milk arrived, he found Lira had hanged himself. Already prone to severe depression, Lira had attempted suicide previously. One of the notes he left for Milk indicated he was upset about the Anita Bryant and John Briggs campaigns.<a href="#cite_note-120">[113]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Briggs_Initiative">Briggs Initiative</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Briggs_Initiative" class="mw-redirect" title="Briggs Initiative">Briggs Initiative</a></div> John Briggs was forced to drop out of the 1978 race for California governor, but received enthusiastic support for Proposition 6, dubbed the <a href="/wiki/Briggs_Initiative" class="mw-redirect" title="Briggs Initiative">Briggs Initiative</a>.

Briggs' messages supporting Proposition 6 were pervasive throughout California, and Harvey Milk attended every event Briggs hosted. Milk campaigned against the bill throughout the state as well,<a href="#cite_note-vandecarr-121">[114]</a> and swore that if Briggs won California, he would still not win San Francisco.<a href="#cite_note-122">[115]</a> In their numerous debates, which toward the end had been honed to quick back-and-forth banter, Briggs maintained that homosexual teachers wanted to abuse and recruit children. Milk responded with statistics compiled by law enforcement that provided evidence that <a href="/wiki/Pedophile" class="mw-redirect" title="Pedophile">pedophiles</a> identified primarily as heterosexual, and dismissed Briggs' assertions with one-liner jokes: "If it were true that children mimicked their teachers, you'd sure have a helluva lot more nuns running around."<a href="#cite_note-123">[116]</a> Attendance at Gay Pride marches during the summer of 1978 in Los Angeles and San Francisco swelled.

In 1980, San Francisco ended district supervisor elections, fearing that a Board of Supervisors so divisive would be harmful to the city and that they had been a factor in the assassinations. A grassroots neighborhood effort to restore district elections in the mid-1990s proved successful, and the city returned to neighborhood representatives in 2000.<a href="#cite_note-168">[159]</a> As a result of Dan White's trial, California voters changed the law to reduce the likelihood of acquittals of accused who knew what they were doing but claimed their capacity was impaired.<a href="#cite_note-mounts-158">[149]</a> Diminished capacity was abolished as a defense to a charge, but courts allowed evidence of it when deciding whether to incarcerate, commit, or otherwise punish a convicted defendant.<a href="#cite_note-169">[160]</a> The "Twinkie defense" has entered American mythology, popularly described as a case where a murderer escapes justice because he binged on junk food, simplifying White's lack of political savvy, his relationships with George Moscone and Harvey Milk, and what San Francisco Chronicle columnist <a href="/wiki/Herb_Caen" title="Herb Caen">Herb Caen</a> described as his "dislike of homosexuals".<a href="#cite_note-170">[161]</a> Dan White served just over five years for the double homicide of Moscone and Milk; he was released from prison on January 7, 1984.

At the onset of each campaign, an issue was added to Milk's public political philosophy.<a href="#cite_note-foss-172">[163]</a> His 1973 campaign focused on the first point, that as a small business owner in San Francisco—a city dominated by large corporations that had been courted by municipal government—his interests were being overlooked because he was not represented by a large financial institution. Although he did not hide the fact that he was gay, it did not become an issue until his race for the California State Assembly in 1976. It was brought to the fore in the supervisor race against Rick Stokes, as it was an extension of his ideas of individual freedom.<a href="#cite_note-foss-172">[163]</a> Milk strongly believed that neighborhoods promoted unity and a small-town experience, and that the Castro should provide services to all its residents. He opposed the closing of an elementary school; while most gay people in the Castro did not have children, Milk saw his neighborhood having the potential to welcome everyone. He told his aides to concentrate on fixing <a href="/wiki/Pothole" title="Pothole">potholes</a> and boasted that 50 new stop signs had been installed in District 5.<a href="#cite_note-foss-172">[163]</a> Responding to city residents' largest complaint about living in San Francisco—dog feces—Milk made it a priority to enact the ordinance requiring dog owners to take care of their pets' droppings. Randy Shilts noted, "some would claim Harvey was a socialist or various other sorts of ideologues, but, in reality, Harvey's political philosophy was never more complicated than the issue of dogshit; government should solve people's basic problems."<a href="#cite_note-173">[164]</a> Karen Foss, a communications professor at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_New_Mexico" title="University of New Mexico">University of New Mexico</a>, attributes Milk's impact on San Francisco politics to the fact that he was unlike anyone else who had held public office in the city. She writes, "Milk happened to be a highly energetic, charismatic figure with a love of theatrics and nothing to lose ... Using laughter, reversal, transcendence, and his insider/outsider status, Milk helped create a climate in which dialogue on issues became possible. He also provided a means to integrate the disparate voices of his various constituencies."<a href="#cite_note-fossqueer-174">[165]</a> Milk had been a rousing speaker since he began campaigning in 1973, and his oratory skills only improved after he became City Supervisor.<a href="#cite_note-demilio-28">[25]</a> His most famous talking points became known as the "Hope Speech", which became a staple throughout his political career. It opened with a play on the accusation that gay people recruit impressionable youth into their numbers: "My name is Harvey Milk—and I want to recruit you." A version of the Hope Speech that he gave near the end of his life was considered by his friends and aides to be the best, and the closing the most effective: <blockquote>And the young gay people in the Altoona, Pennsylvanias and the Richmond, Minnesotas who are coming out and hear Anita Bryant in television and her story. The only thing they have to look forward to is hope. And you have to give them hope. Hope for a better world, hope for a better tomorrow, hope for a better place to come to if the pressures at home are too great. Hope that all will be all right. Without hope, not only gays, but the blacks, the seniors, the handicapped, the us'es, the us'es will give up. And if you help elect to the central committee and other offices, more gay people, that gives a green light to all who feel disenfranchised, a green light to move forward. It means hope to a nation that has given up, because if a gay person makes it, the doors are open to everyone.<a href="#cite_note-175">[166]</a><a href="#cite_note-176">[167]</a></blockquote> In the last year of his life, Milk emphasized that gay people should be more visible to help to end the discrimination and <a href="/wiki/Violence_against_LGBT_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Violence against LGBT people">violence against them</a>. Although Milk had not come out to his mother before her death many years before in his final statement during his taped prediction of his assassination, he urged others to do so: <blockquote>I cannot prevent anyone from getting angry, or mad, or frustrated. I can only hope that they'll turn that anger and frustration and madness into something positive, so that two, three, four, five hundred will step forward, so the gay doctors will come out, the gay lawyers, the gay judges, gay bankers, gay architects ... I hope that every professional gay will say 'enough', come forward and tell everybody, wear a sign, let the world know. Maybe that will help.<a href="#cite_note-giteck-105">[99]</a></blockquote> However, Milk's assassination has become entwined with his political efficacy, partly because he was killed at the zenith of his popularity. Historian Neil Miller writes, "No contemporary American gay leader has yet to achieve in life the stature Milk found in death."<a href="#cite_note-miller408-151">[142]</a> His legacy has become ambiguous; Randy Shilts concludes his biography writing that Milk's success, murder, and the inevitable injustice of White's verdict represented the experience of all gays. Milk's life was "a metaphor for the homosexual experience in America".<a href="#cite_note-shilts348-177">[168]</a> According to Frances FitzGerald, Milk's legend has been unable to be sustained as no one appeared able to take his place in the years after his death: "The Castro saw him as a martyr but understood his martyrdom as an end rather than a beginning. He had died, and with him a great deal of the Castro's optimism, idealism, and ambition seemed to die as well. The Castro could find no one to take his place in its affections, and possibly wanted no one."<a href="#cite_note-castroII-178">[169]</a> On the 20th anniversary of Milk's death, historian <a href="/wiki/John_D%27Emilio" title="John D'Emilio">John D'Emilio</a> said, "The legacy that I think he would want to be remembered for is the imperative to live one's life at all times with integrity."<a href="#cite_note-cloud20-179">[170]</a> For a political career so short, Cleve Jones attributes more to his assassination than his life: "His murder and the response to it made permanent and unquestionable the full participation of gay and lesbian people in the political process."<a href="#cite_note-cloud20-179">[170]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tributes_and_media">Tributes and media</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Castrosanfranciscoflag.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img alt="A color photograph of a large Gay Pride flag flying at the intersection of Market and Castro Streets and the hills of San Francisco in the distance" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Castrosanfranciscoflag.jpg/220px-Castrosanfranciscoflag.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="185" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="849" data-file-height="713"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 185px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Castrosanfranciscoflag.jpg/220px-Castrosanfranciscoflag.jpg" data-alt="A color photograph of a large Gay Pride flag flying at the intersection of Market and Castro Streets and the hills of San Francisco in the distance" data-width="220" data-height="185" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Castrosanfranciscoflag.jpg/330px-Castrosanfranciscoflag.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Castrosanfranciscoflag.jpg/440px-Castrosanfranciscoflag.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBT)" class="mw-redirect" title="Rainbow flag (LGBT)">Gay Pride flag</a> above Harvey Milk Plaza in <a href="/wiki/The_Castro,_San_Francisco" class="mw-redirect" title="The Castro, San Francisco">The Castro neighborhood</a></figcaption></figure> The City of San Francisco has paid tribute to Milk by naming several locations after him.<a href="#cite_note-180">[note 10]</a> Where Market and Castro streets intersect in San Francisco flies an enormous <a href="/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBT)" class="mw-redirect" title="Rainbow flag (LGBT)">Gay Pride flag</a>, situated in Harvey Milk Plaza.<a href="#cite_note-181">[171]</a> The San Francisco Gay Democratic Club changed its name to the Harvey Milk Memorial Gay Democratic Club in 1978 (it is currently named the <a href="/wiki/Harvey_Milk_LGBTQ_Democratic_Club" title="Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club">Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club</a>) and boasts that it is the largest Democratic organization in San Francisco.<a href="#cite_note-182">[172]</a> In April 2018, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and mayor <a href="/wiki/Mark_Farrell_(politician)" title="Mark Farrell (politician)">Mark Farrell</a> approved and signed legislation renaming Terminal 1 at <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco_International_Airport" title="San Francisco International Airport">San Francisco International Airport</a> after Milk, and planned to install artwork memorializing him.

For example, his biographer <a href="/wiki/Randy_Shilts" title="Randy Shilts">Randy Shilts</a> was skeptical of this claim, stating: "The Harvey Milk of this era was no political activist, and according to available evidence, he played the more typical balancing act between discretion and his sex drive." In addition, the Harvey Milk Archives-Scott Smith Collection included a photocopy of what appeared to be Milk's honorable discharge paperwork from the U.S. Navy. However, a records request from the U.S. Navy revealed that he did indeed receive an "other than honorable" discharge and was forced to resign for being gay. It appears Milk forged the discharge papers now in his archives in order to be employed after leaving the service. </li> <li id="cite_note-20"><a href="#cite_ref-20">^</a> In addition to his concerns over Rodwell's activism, Milk believed that Rodwell had given him <a href="/wiki/Gonorrhea" title="Gonorrhea">gonorrhea</a>.

He held no ill will toward Milk, however, and remained in contact with him. The incident's significance brought so much attention that, later in life while drinking, he stated that he regretted having grabbed Moore's gun. Eventually, Sipple regained contact with his mother and brother, but continued to be rejected by his father. He kept the letter written by Ford, framed, in his apartment, until he died of pneumonia in 1989.
