Summary:

"Harvey Milk dreamed of a better tomorrow filled with love and equal rights for all. In 1977, Milk was elected to San Francisco's Board of Supervisors, only to be assassinated less than a year after he took office. Through his personal and professional life, Harvey Milk became a role model and beacon of hope for many members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community.
