Milk March

Thirty years ago this week, Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to a major political office in the United States, was killed by a fellow supervisor, Dan White. San Francisco Mayor George Moscone was also killed in the same event.

Alyn, the guy I'm dating who lives in Atlanta, is here visiting this Thanksgiving weekend. We attended the memorial service at City Hall and then particpated in the march from Civic Center to the location of Milk's Camera Store on Castro Street.
