There are certainly parallels between Harvey Milk and the fight for Gay Rights and Martin Luther King and his fight. I too had never heard of Harvey Milk but Martin Luther King has always been one of my most admired people. People who stand up and fight oppression and discrimination despite personal risks are true heroes.
