Thanks for standing your ground #GovNewsom …
I agree that a ugly “fever” of #hate runs thru too many #school boards.
I find it ridiculous that parents…w/no training or #education
Amateurs…are fiddling around education!
The utter foolishness, of letting untrained, clueless, #political fanatics…
Control the #academic curricula.

Forty-five years later these and other issues remain outstanding or unresolved in San Francisco and beyond.
Harvey Milk was a really good change agent in this city. He really cared. 🙏🏿

TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY
NEWS - THE WHITE NIGHT RIOTS IN SAN FRANCISCO - 5/22/79, All major networks
Probably the first national U.S. news coverage of violent queer response to violent injustice, after Harvey Milk's murderer was only convicted of manslaughter and given a 7-year sentence.
The riot reflected fury over the legal system's constant minimization of antiqueer violence, decade after decade after decade, exacerbated by the history of anti-LGBTQ harassment and violence by police, the fact that the murderer Dan White was a former cop, and that some of the city's police made clear they sympathized more with this killer than with his victims.
Once again, LGBTQ people had been told there would be no justice for us. This time, they were not having it.

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:
