HARVEY MILK (1930 - 1978) was an American politician who became the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California in 1977. He was responsible for passing a gay rights ordinance that outlawed discrimination based on sexual orientation in the city of San Francisco. He also passionately encouraged gay people to "come out of the closet" in order to increase visibility and end discrimination and homophobic violence. After eleven months in office, Milk was assassinated and became a martyr for gay rights. We honour the work of this important gay figure with our humble t-shirt.
The Harvey Milk design is printed in white ink on a black t-shirt made of 100% jersey cotton.
