I’d love to see every gay doctor come out, I’d love to see every gay lawyer, every gay judge, every gay bureaucrat, every gay architect come out. Stand up, let the world know. That would do more to end prejudice over night than anybody can ever imagine…

~ Harvey Bernard Milk ( 1930 – November 27, 1978),
In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in America.
