Harvey Milk stamp
From page 1
California Stamp News editor Branton Burke said that the Castro post office had sold out its stock of 10,000 Milk stamps in two and a half hours. Burke urged people to order Milk stamps online. An upbeat group of about 100 people gathered at Harvey Milk Plaza to celebrate the slain gay leader’s 84th birthday and the unveiling of the U.S. Postal Service’s Harvey Milk postage stamp. Milk was the city’s first openly gay elected official. He and thenMayor George Moscone were assassinated at City Hall by former Supervisor Dan White on November 22, 1978. The Milk stamp was formally unveiled earlier in the day at an event in Washington, D.C. where Milk’s gay nephew, Stuart Milk, was present, along with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) and United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power. Also on hand was Dan Nicoletta, who took the photo of Milk that inspired the stamp’s image. Despite the ceremony in D.C., many felt that Harvey Milk Plaza, located at the entrance to the Castro Muni station, was the perfect spot for the local unveiling and celebration. Forty-two years earlier, Milk had delivered his first political speech at the top of the stairs that lead into the station. Others who happened to be in the Castro last Thursday evening were surprised to be a little part of history. Maryland resident Michael Frost, 41, who said he came out about five years ago, had no idea that he would be attending the unveiling when he came to visit the Castro. “I’m overjoyed,” he said. “It’s amazing. We still have a long way to go, but San Francisco is leading the way.” Frost said he came to the Castro “to see where my peeps are.”

Specifically, Kinney will talk about estate planning and whether samesex couples want one trust or two; Social Security benefits and how to take advantage of lifetime and death benefits; the importance of properly titling or retitling property and other assets; Medicare benefits; pre-nuptial agreements; deferred tax retirement accounts; and charitable giving.

Owned by the husband and wife team of Andrew Truong and Liya Lin, former San Francisco chefs, the restaurant scored a Michelin star in 2011. The menu changes with the seasons and expect to spend at least $80 on dinner for two. For a more seafood-centric menu head to the Tide Wharfs Restaurant, 835 Coast Highway One, overlooking the bay. Following dinner, if your dog isn’t a scaredy-cat, snuggle up in bed for a viewing of The Birds (each room at Bay Hill Mansion has a DVD of the movie for guests to watch).
Many people in his small town remain closeted, he said, even though Maryland now has marriage equality and a transgender rights bill was recently passed. Best friends Ben Freeman, 27, who’s gay, and Janine Bothwell, 26, who’s straight, were visiting the Castro from Scotland, where they run From Yesterday For Tomorrow, an international organization dedicated to fighting prejudice. “It’s really amazing,” said Freeman. “Today is a celebration of Harvey Milk’s legacy. He was a trailblazer, and a beacon of hope.” “We’re lucky that we stumbled upon this event,” added Bothwell. “It’s like fate. Milk was incredibly inspirational.” Gay Supervisor Scott Wiener, whose District 8 includes the Castro, stood before a cardboard blowup of the Milk stamp, which was still covered. “This wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t have a down home celebration in the Castro,” Wiener said. “It’s where Harvey is from. We’ve made so much progress: marriage, repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ new hate crimes laws. It’s so important to have visibility.” Longtime AIDS activist Cleve Jones, a personal friend of Milk’s, took to the microphone and urged people to support a cause he thinks Harvey would have believed in. Jones urged attendees to write to the Sultan of Brunei, who recently purchased the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. Brunei also recently enacted Sharia law, a strict Muslim religious code that calls for the death penalty for LGBT people. Jones handed out postcards designed by himself and Oscarwinning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black addressed to the Sultan at the hotel. A photo of Milk graced one side of the card. The other side of the card says, “Change your laws or sell your hotels.” “We didn’t want to go to Washington, D.C. for the unveiling at the White House,” Jones said of himself

Sunday morning, after checking out and saying our goodbyes, we drove south down Highway 1 toward Bodega, a speck of a town on the Bodega Highway, to visit St. Theresa Church and the Potter School, which is now a private residence. Both featured prominently in Hitchcock’s thriller starring Tippi Hedren, although the film made it appear the buildings were located above the harbor in Bodega Bay. Returning back onto Highway 1 we traveled south for about 25 minutes to head to Dillon’s Beach. (From Highway 1 in Tomales turn right onto Dillon Beach Road.)
and Black. “We wanted to be here. Harvey wasn’t a saint, he was a real person who lived here.” Board of Supervisors President David Chiu, a straight ally, spoke of Milk’s contributions to the fight for equal rights. “We are white, black, gay, straight, Asian, and Latino. He was the mayor of Castro Street. He recruited all of us to fight for justice,” said Chiu, referring to a speech Milk gave in which he said, “My name is Harvey Milk and I’m here to recruit you.” As the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Milk, Wiener lifted the rainbow covering, revealing the postage stamp for all to see. The crowd applauded and cheered. Andrea Aiello, executive director of Castro/Upper Market Community Benefit District, participated in the unveiling. As previously reported in the Bay Area Reporter, Burke had contacted the CBD about holding a local unveiling event. “The release of the Harvey Milk stamp tells everyone in this country that the country is proud of a gay activist,” Aiello told the B.A.R. “Stamps are legitimate, they are not fringe. They reach everyone. They reach isolated young questioning girls and boys in a very normal way.” While other LGB people have been honored by having their likeness grace a stamp, the Milk stamp is the first to honor an openly gay elected official. “When Harvey moved here you weren’t second-class if you were LGBT, you were a criminal,” Black told the B.A.R. “To have that same government now lift Harvey up is incredible.” Others were thrilled to be able to purchase the stamps. “Harvey Milk’s life and actions inspired me when I came out in 1981,” said Patrick Henry, 53. “It was an extra thrill to appear at the Castro Post Office today to purchase the Harvey Milk stamps. And it’s an extraordinary pleasure to attend this amazing event at Harvey Milk Plaza this evening.”t
ning for a $500,000 Google Impact Award but needs the community’s help by voting online for the agency. One of the couples MAF has helped, Edgar Cruz and Gustavo Cerritos, was featured in a recent Bay Area Reporter article. The men utilized a social loan to pay for fees to apply for the deferred action for childhood arrivals program, which was established by the Obama administration so that undocumented immigrant youth can attend college or find work that isn’t under the table. Jonathan Dsouza with MAF said that if the agency wins the Google award, it would be able to help more people. “We would have a tremendous opportunity to deepen our engagement in the Bay Area and reach more underserved individuals,” Dsouza said in an email. Voting is open until Monday, June 2 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time, at http://tinyurl.com/oelvdz9.t
There is an $8 entrance fee per vehicle to park and dogs are allowed to run off-leash along the beach. After a second day whiled away oceanside, stop off in Point Reyes Station to grab a light dinner at Cowgirl Creamery at Tomales Bay Foods (80 4th Street). The lesbianowned company restored the old hay barn into a showcase for its renowned organic cheeses. Inside chat up the cheesemongers and then dine outside under the night sky. By then any food-pilfering winged creatures should have called it a day, leaving you and your dog to eat in peace.t
