Harvey Milk Day 22 of May

Harvey Milk Day is celebrated every year on May 22, marking the birthday of Harvey Milk. He was a pioneer in the fight for LGBT rights and became one of the first openly gay people in the United States to be elected to public office, as a member of the San Francisco City Council.

The day emerged as a way to commemorate his life and work for equality - in 2009, the Governor of California signed the law formally establishing Harvey Milk Day in the state.

Harvey Milk Day is not just a celebration - it's a reminder of the courage to be yourself, to stand up for justice and to let every voice be heard. On this day, we honor Harvey Milk and all those who continue his fight for a world where everyone can live openly and proudly.
