Wreaths made by members of LGTBQ+ community placed along the Hillcrest street who's namesake is the civil rights leader all to honor him.
SAN DIEGO - On what would've been Harvey Milk's 92nd birthday, a special event was held to honor his legacy.
"Harvey Milk is very special to San Diego because of his military service. This is a military town. And for me, a former Marine, it's really special to me,” Bob Lehman, Founder of American Veterans for Equal Rights - San Diego Legal experts said those worries are more than valid given the draft opinion’s position regarding privacy laws.
Milk's legacy is something that will never be forgotten despite what could be on the horizon for this community.
