The full rainbow of San Francisco people, including Harvey Milk, who he appointed to his first commission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, the San Francisco we know today was just beginning to emerge.

I was 14 at the time and just starting to come to terms with being queer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't remember much about the movie itself, which tells the story of the San Francisco supervisor who became the first openly gay elected official in California before being gunned down along with the mayor in City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I do remember is being captivated by seeing a gay person as the subject of a Hollywood movie, and making sure that I didn't seem \u003cem>too\u003c/em> captivated — people might start to ask uncomfortable questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF05_CB81c0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, I've come out and moved to the Bay Area.

Is he more or less a part of their lives than he is mine?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I sat in on Breana Bahar Hansen's Introduction to LGBT Studies class at City College of San Francisco, which teaches students about Harvey Milk. I figured the students might — like me — not be that knowledgeable about Milk, but I was shocked when several of Bahar Hansen's students had never even heard of him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This class is really involved in LGBT issues,\" Bahar Hansen said. \"A lot of them are activists. Many of them are already doing work in the communities and are just coming here because they wanted a space to talk about LGBT issues in academia. And so the fact that so few knew [about Milk], and the ones that knew [about him] really only knew him from the lens of the 2008 film, that really surprised me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11706248/40-years-after-assassinations-assessing-the-legacies-of-harvey-milk-and-george-moscone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">40 Years After Assassinations, Assessing the Legacies of Harvey Milk and George Moscone\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11706248/40-years-after-assassinations-assessing-the-legacies-of-harvey-milk-and-george-moscone\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11708059\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-800x522.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-800x522.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-160x104.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-1020x665.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-1200x783.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On Nov. 27, 1978, San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone were gunned down in City Hall by former Supervisor Dan White. Take a look back at a San Francisco that was at a crossroads and the day that changed the city forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Some students were more familiar with Milk's story. Miranda LaBounty said she grew up \"with Harvey Milk mentioned in the same sentence as Martin Luther King.\" But even she was hazy on the specifics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always assumed Milk was [killed] like 50 or 60 years ago,\" she said during in-class discussion. \"That it was only 40 years ago he was assassinated? Our parents were walking around during that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So instead of the quick refresher and in-depth discussion Bahar Hansen was planning, the approach pivoted to introducing the students to Milk and his story: Born and raised in New York, Milk served in the U.S. Navy before moving to San Francisco in the 1970s and becoming an outspoken gay activist. He ran a camera store on Castro Street before he became the first openly gay elected official in California, when he won a spot on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a year into his first term, Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone were shot and killed in City Hall by former Supervisor Dan White. For the double murder, White served only five years in prison, a fact that shocked and disgusted the students in Bahar Hansen's class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If Harvey Milk somehow killed Dan White and Moscone, he would get life in prison,\" LaBounty said, \"but because it was a white cis[gender] straight man doing it ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it were a black guy or a trans person [who committed the murder],\" added Mikaela Kendrick, another student, \"that person would be institutionalized or still in jail to this day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of the conversations in the class touched on these ideas of race and gender identity privilege, not just for Dan White but for Milk, too. The idea of intersectionality — the way a person’s sexual orientation combines with their race, gender, socioeconomic status and other identities — is something that young queer people talk about a lot, and it impacts how they view someone like Milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do connect with him in some sense because he is a hero, and I will never sit there and say that he's not a hero because he literally died for us,\" said student Le Shawn Purcell. \"At the same time, he comes from a different background, and I don't think he encapsulated everybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Purcell said he could connect with Milk because both of them are cisgender males. But for Purcell, who’s black, that’s where the similarities end. He said being a white cisgender male allowed Milk to be the outspoken advocate and eventual hero he became, options that weren't available to transgender activists like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even while they looked critically at how his privileges allowed Milk to do what he did, the students still recognized the kind of impact Milk had.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11708263/remembering-george-moscone-the-peoples-mayor-of-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Remembering George Moscone, 'The People's Mayor' of San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11708263/remembering-george-moscone-the-peoples-mayor-of-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10467212\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/George-R.-Moscone-photo-courtesy-Moscone-Family-date-unknown-Credit-University-of-the-Pacific-4-800x639.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"639\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Often overshadowed by Harvey Milk in death, George Moscone left behind a lasting progressive legacy as a state legislator and mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"If it wasn't for him, this class wouldn't have been able to even be in college.

Mark Leno. He ended up coming in second, ahead of Korean-American Jane Kim and behind London Breed, the city’s first African-American female mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fact that our election was between two women of color and a gay man, I don’t know, that made me kind of happy,\" LaBounty said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After class, I asked Bahar Hansen why students — some of whom had never heard of Milk before — still seemed to feel a connection with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bahar-Hansen said even though the LGBTQ community has made significant gains in the last 40 years, many of the students still don't feel safe because of their queer identities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even here in San Francisco, there's been just some very heart-wrenching stories of not being accepted by families,\" Bahar Hansen said. \"Really, the issues that Harvey Milk was talking about in the '70s still so apply to their lives today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because those issues of oppression are still present for these young people, Harvey Milk and his legacy still matter to them, even if they only just learned about him.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Many of them are already doing work in the communities and are just coming here because they wanted a space to talk about LGBT issues in academia.

Take a look back at a San Francisco that was at a crossroads and the day that changed the city forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Some students were more familiar with Milk's story. Miranda LaBounty said she grew up \"with Harvey Milk mentioned in the same sentence as Martin Luther King.\" But even she was hazy on the specifics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always assumed Milk was [killed] like 50 or 60 years ago,\" she said during in-class discussion. \"That it was only 40 years ago he was assassinated? Our parents were walking around during that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So instead of the quick refresher and in-depth discussion Bahar Hansen was planning, the approach pivoted to introducing the students to Milk and his story: Born and raised in New York, Milk served in the U.S. Navy before moving to San Francisco in the 1970s and becoming an outspoken gay activist. He ran a camera store on Castro Street before he became the first openly gay elected official in California, when he won a spot on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a year into his first term, Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone were shot and killed in City Hall by former Supervisor Dan White. For the double murder, White served only five years in prison, a fact that shocked and disgusted the students in Bahar Hansen's class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If Harvey Milk somehow killed Dan White and Moscone, he would get life in prison,\" LaBounty said, \"but because it was a white cis[gender] straight man doing it ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it were a black guy or a trans person [who committed the murder],\" added Mikaela Kendrick, another student, \"that person would be institutionalized or still in jail to this day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of the conversations in the class touched on these ideas of race and gender identity privilege, not just for Dan White but for Milk, too. The idea of intersectionality — the way a person’s sexual orientation combines with their race, gender, socioeconomic status and other identities — is something that young queer people talk about a lot, and it impacts how they view someone like Milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do connect with him in some sense because he is a hero, and I will never sit there and say that he's not a hero because he literally died for us,\" said student Le Shawn Purcell. \"At the same time, he comes from a different background, and I don't think he encapsulated everybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Purcell said he could connect with Milk because both of them are cisgender males. But for Purcell, who’s black, that’s where the similarities end. He said being a white cisgender male allowed Milk to be the outspoken advocate and eventual hero he became, options that weren't available to transgender activists like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even while they looked critically at how his privileges allowed Milk to do what he did, the students still recognized the kind of impact Milk had.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11708263/remembering-george-moscone-the-peoples-mayor-of-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Remembering George Moscone, 'The People's Mayor' of San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11708263/remembering-george-moscone-the-peoples-mayor-of-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10467212\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/George-R.-Moscone-photo-courtesy-Moscone-Family-date-unknown-Credit-University-of-the-Pacific-4-800x639.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"639\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Often overshadowed by Harvey Milk in death, George Moscone left behind a lasting progressive legacy as a state legislator and mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"If it wasn't for him, this class wouldn't have been able to even be in college.

Just mentioning that name can reawaken the horror of that 1978 episode: the tension at the People's Temple settlement in Guyana as Congressman Leo Ryan arrived to meet with leader Jim Jones and investigate conditions there; how some Jonestown residents menaced Ryan and the journalists who accompanied him; how Ryan and others in his party were shot and killed as they prepared to fly out of the jungle; and finally, how Jones led the more than 900 settlement residents in a death ritual.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Remembrance of Moscone-Milk Assassinations\u003c/aside>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left !important; font-size: 12pt;\">Nov. 27, 2013\u003cbr>\n4:30 p.m.: Remembrance at City Hall\u003cbr>\n5:30 p.m.: March to the Castro\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Jonestown overshadowed a political drama that was playing out in San Francisco at the time — the resignation of a freshman member of the Board of Supervisors, Dan White. A former firefighter and police officer from the Outer Mission, he'd been elected in the city's first district elections in November 1977. But just a year later, he resigned the position, only to change his mind and ask to get the job back. Mayor George Moscone at first seemed willing to reappoint White to the board, then decided not to. One of those who reportedly urged Moscone not to reappoint White was another first-year supervisor, Harvey Milk, a gay-rights crusader and the first openly gay man elected to public office in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirty-five years ago today, I was taking someone over to the old Greyhound station on 7th Street, just south of Market. It was midday, and as we walked up Mission Street, an older man, a guy who looked like he might be living on the street, stopped us and shouted, \"They shot the mayor! They shot the mayor and the supervisor!\" The first thing I thought of was Jonestown. What the guy was saying sounded so crazy and scary, I told him to get away from me and continued on to Greyhound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bus station had those old \"TV chairs\" — molded plastic chairs with miniature black-and-white televisions built in. If you fed the TV a quarter, you could watch for maybe 15 minutes. The first thing I noticed when we got to Greyhound was that a lot of those TVs were in use and almost everyone was watching the same thing, a report on the shooting of George Moscone and Harvey Milk. I don't completely trust my memory on this — I'm not sure this moment was shown on live TV or not — but I think I started watching just as Dianne Feinstein, the president of the Board of Supervisors, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MnY59V0exw\" target=\"_blank\">announced\u003c/a> that the mayor and the supervisor had been killed and that Dan White was the suspect.

That footage is still wrenching to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that moment, the entire city seemed to be unhinged and crazy. And the story would become more incredible with White's \"diminished capacity\" defense based in part on his poor diet; his acquittal on murder charges (he was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and served just over five years in prison); the rage and riot that followed the verdict; and White's eventual \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1985/10/22/us/dan-white-killer-of-san-francisco-mayor-a-suicide.html\" target=\"_blank\">suicide\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, something other than shock and grief emerged from the darkness of that day: a determination that Milk's legacy should live. And it has. In death, Milk's stature has grown to that of a globally recognized champion of human rights. In San Francisco decades later, one of Moscone's successors as mayor declared same-sex marriage legal, launching a movement that's seen the gay marriage become the law in 16 states and the District of Columbia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my newsroom colleagues, Kat Snow, recalled earlier today that the determination to turn the tragedy of the Milk-Moscone murder into a movement goes back to the hours after the killings. The night of Nov. 27, 1978, thousands of people marched from the Castro to a vigil at San Francisco City Hall. One of those in attendance was singer Holly Near, who had composed a song in response to the killing, \"Singing for Our Lives.\" That song became an anthem for human rights campaigners worldwide. Below, Near performs the song with the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus at the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the assassinations.
