30 Years Later

Tomorrow marks the 30th Anniversary of the assassination of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to public office in California (though not the first openly gay person elected to office in the United States: that honor went to Kathy Kozachenko who was elected to the Ann Arbor Michigan city council in 1974, three years before Milk's election) and a symbol of the fight for gay rights throughout the country.

In honor of Harvey Milk, here are links to 365Gay's article on his legacy and Truthdig's review of the new film Milk, based on his life and death.

I will not be blogging tomorrow because of the holiday, but I will be back on Friday. Happy Thanksgiving to all you Americans and happy Thursday to the rest of the world!
