Today we will tell you about Harvey Milk, the first gay City Hall supervisor. He has changed many people’s lives that are gay or lesbian. People respect him because he stood up for gay and lesbian people. He is remembered for changing our country, and he is a hero to gay and lesbian people. Fifth Grade Class Slide Show When Harvey Milk was a little boy he loved to be the center of attention. Growing up, Harvey was a pretty normal boy, doing things that all boys do. Harvey was very popular in school and had many friends. However, he hid from everyone a very troubling secret. Harvey Milk was homosexual. Being gay wasn’t very easy back in those days. For an example, Harvey Milk and Joe Campbell had to keep a secret of their gay relationship for six years. Sadly, they broke up because of stress. But Harvey Milk was still looking for a spouse. Eventually, Harvey Milk met Scott Smith and fell in love. Harvey and Scott moved together to the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco, which was a haven for people who were gay, a place where they were respected more easily. Harvey and Scott opened a store called Castro Camera and lived on the top floor. Not only was Castro Camera a place to develop photos, it was like a community center. People from all around the Castro neighborhood came to Castro Camera to talk with Harvey Milk about discrimination against gay people in finding jobs and buying homes. Harvey listened to their problems and tried to reassure them and look for solutions. Since Harvey Milk was becoming a gay leader, he decided that he wanted to run for City Council. A lot of people supported him, especially an eleven‐year old girl Medora Payne. Harvey had to try 3 times to get elected. Finally, the 4th time he got elected. In 1978, thanks to Harvey, gay people got new laws to protect them from discrimination. People celebrated with a parade and Harvey Milk was grateful. Because he was gay, one of the other City Hall supervisors did not like Harvey Milk. So, late one night he snuck into City Hall and shot George Moscone and Harvey Milk. His name was Dan White. That same night everyone walked to City Hall holding candles. Still every year people march with candles as a blessing for Harvey Milk. Now San Francisco City Hall has a statue of Harvey Milk himself. Harvey was never forgotten. He lives on as an ally for gay and lesbian people. Student shares an excerpt from Milk’s “Hope speech” ­I’m going to read you a part of Harvey Milk’s famous “Hope speech.” When I point to you, you say “hope” and I’ll finish the sentence. When I point to you again, you say “hope” and I’ll finish the sentence. Let’s practice once. [point]. Let’s try again. [point]. Great, let’s start. It is important that gay people run for office and that gay people get elected. Like every other group, we must be judged by our leaders and by those who are themselves gay, who are visible. A gay person in office can set a tone, can command respect not only from the larger community, but from the young people in our own community who need both examples and hope. The first gay people we elect must be strong. They must not be content to sit in the back of the bus. I can’t forget the looks on faces of people who have lost hope. Be they gay, be they seniors, be they blacks looking for a job, be they Latinos trying to explain their problems and dreams in a tongue that’s foreign to them. People are strong, but they need hope. You have to give them 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. You have to give people hope. Thank you very much. .

MAKING COMMUNITY: THE PLACES AND15 SPACES OF LGBTQ COLLECTIVE IDENTITY FORMATION Christina B. Hanhardt Introduction In the summer of 2012, posters reading "MORE GRINDR=FEWER GAY BARS” appeared taped to signposts in numerous gay neighborhoods in North America—from Greenwich Village in New York City to Davie Village in Vancouver, Canada.1 The signs expressed a brewing fear: that the popularity of online lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social media—like Grindr, which connects gay men based on proximate location—would soon replace the bricks-and-mortar institutions that had long facilitated LGBTQ community building.

  • Harvey Milk, "You've Got to Have Hope" (24 June 1977)
    Voices of Democracy 6 (2011): 63‐82 Black & Morris 63 HARVEY MILK, "YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE HOPE" (24 JUNE 1977) Jason Edward Black The University of Alabama Charles E. Morris III Boston College Abstract: This essay examines Harvey Milk's 1977 address "You've Got to Have Hope" for the ways that it reflects the gay rights politics of its time—simultaneously in San Francisco and across the nation. Specifically, this essay explores how Milk emphasized a populist rhetoric that united the gay community and its straight allies, while also emphasizing the imperative of keeping gay leadership empowered. Ultimately, Milk bridged his constituencies through a theme of hope. Key Words: Harvey Milk; LGBTQ politics; gay rights issues; populism; hope; movement leadership; LGBTQ movements; gay rights movements The release of the 2008 Focus Features film Milk—written by Dustin Lance Black, directed by Gus Van Sant, and starring Sean Penn—did much to illuminate the life and times of Harvey Milk. A grassroots gay activist and San Francisco city supervisor during the late 1970s, Milk was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States. Following suit, the lingering afterglow of the film produced a wellspring of contemporary Milk memories, most recently drawn upon in the debates over Proposition 8, California's anti‐gay marriage initiative.1 However, even before the award‐winning film made its way onto the silver screen and into the hearts of the Academy Awards selection committee, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) activists and leaders had done much to honor Milk's legacy.2 Coming immediately after Milk's untimely death by assassination in November 1978, and continuing to the present, there have been many efforts to commemorate his inspiration for and impact on gay and LGBTQ strength, pride, and alliances with other marginalized and oppressed groups, as well as with those in the dominant public.
