Harvey Milk is a saint and I cry now because I just learnt of this mans existence.History books intentionally wipe this man away.Martin Luther and King are on pedestals but.Harvey Milk will not be forgotten,he did so much good for San Francisco and all humanity and i truly appreciate what he did.The person who killed him is admired and I am nauseated by that fact.
