Today we're celebrating #HarveyMilkDay as we remember his incredible efforts to fight for LGBTQ+ equality. The same fight for equality in which Harvey Milk's life was sacrificed remains as relevant today as it was in 1978:
#HarveyMilk #LGBTQActivist #LGBTQNews #LGBTQ 🧵 Image
Harvey Milk made some incredible strides forward towards equality with his vital work, but, even in 2023, there are still many more miles still to go when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights across the world... Image
The many death threats that Harvey Milk received didn't stop him from advancing the concept of equal rights. His bold and outspoken message was an incredible show of bravery. Image
Harvey Milk's speeches and statements were nothing short of iconic – and so powerful that they've continued to reverberate down the ages. His 'Hope' speech is almost as relevant today as it was in 1978. Image
After his death, his nephew Stuart and campaign manager Anne founded the Harvey Milk Foundation (@HMilkFoundation), to continue his work. Image
@HMilkFoundation We remember Harvey Milk's legacy today, but as LGBTQ+ people, we feel it every day. We are incredibly grateful to him for his tireless and incredibly brave activism. Rest in peace, Harvey. Image
