Harvey Milk Day MAY 22 In 2009, the State of California established May 22 as Harvey Milk Day (his birthday). The day honors the life and legacy of Milk, the first openly gay man elected to public office in California. His legacy includes partnering with labor unions to defeat Prop. 6 in 1978, which would have banned gays and lesbians from working in California's public schools. Students can learn about Milk's activism and work through resources available at the Harvey Milk Foundation (milkfoundation.org).
