Harvey Milk will be immortalized again – this time on a postage stamp.
The Harvey Milk Foundation has announced that Milk will be the first openly gay U.S. official to be featured on U.S. postage.
Milk’s nephew, LGBT activist Stuart Milk, posted about the decision on Facebook: “The USPS will confirm this week that my uncle, Harvey Milk will be commemorated on a 2014 US postage stamp. Another first! My deep gratitude to everyone that supported this effort! More details including the image to come via USPS soon!”
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay man to win political office in California when he was elected to San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors in 1977.
Look for the stamp in 2014.
