Re: “Remembering the lessons of Harvey Milk”

I got this from 'THE QUEERTY'

Everyone from the Associated Press to the San Francisco Weekly to the The Portland Mercury has called Harvey Milk "America's first openly gay politician." Not to take away from the life and legacy of the San Francisco City Supervisor, but that honor belongs to Jerry DeGrieck and Nancy Wechsler, both of whom came out while serving on the Ann Arbor, Michigan, City Council in 1973. They would be the first to come out, but the following year Minnesota State Senator Allan Spear and Massachusetts State Representative Elaine Noble would join their ranks as well as Kathy Kozachenko, who joined the Ann Arbor City Council running as an openly gay person, the first to ever win an election while out. These early politicians helped pave the way for Harvey Milk's 1977 run in San Francisco.
