Milk, Harvey (1930–1978)

US public official. As an experienced financial analyst, he was elected to San Francisco's Board of Supervisors in 1977. Instrumental in passing the city's gay rights ordinance, he was the first acknowledged homosexual official in the city. He was shot to death by a former city supervisor, who also killed Mayor George Moscone. When their assassin was given a light sentence, San Francisco's homosexual community rioted. Milk was born in New York City. He moved to San Francisco, California, in 1969 and at first operated a camera store.
