“This is a fitting tribute to
the extraordinary work of Harvey Milk. It also recognizes the many LGBTQ
people who have served and are serving in the military — who couldn’t
openly when Harvey served. Now they can, thanks
in no small part, to the legacy of Lieutenant Harvey Milk, U.S.N. We
deeply thank our colleagues at the Imperial Court led by former National
LGBTQ Task Force board member Nicole Murray Ramirez, for their
ceaseless work to make this tribute happen,” said Russell
Roybal, Deputy Executive Director, National LGBTQ Task Force.
