Harvey Milk Day is celebrated each year on May 22 in memory of Harvey Milk, a gay rights activist assassinated in 1978.

Harvey Milk served less than a year in public office before his brutal assassination, but his life profoundly changed a city, state, nation and a global community. His courage, passion and sense of justice rocked a country and stirred the very core of a put down and pushed out community, bringing forward new hope and a new vision of freedom. This day is a chance to honour his life and legacy and every year it highlights the strides we have taken to make society a better place for LGBTQ+ people and how far we still have to go to achieve an equal society.
