This all correlates to what is happening in the picture. In the picture, there is an gay advocacy group protesting for equality. The name of the group is the National Gay Task Force, and this march took place in a large city, presumably New York. This National Gay Task Force is  an organization that that fights for equality of all sexual orientations. Like the Mattachine Society, the National Gay Task Force are fighting for equality.

When I look at this picture, a feeling of deep sorrow resonates deep within me. The people in the photo are people just like us; yet they are denied equality. Their denial in equality and freedom of expression brings sorrow to my heart because they must continue to fight for their rights. 

Even today, the event in the picture holds prominent. In today’s world, men and women who are gay and lesbian must still fight against adversity. To this day, they must continue to stand against the odds and fight for equality. 

He had political connections with George Moscone, Willie Browne, Dianne Feinstein. Milk was an outspoken leader in the gay community. He wanted to help issues like child care to housing to a civilian police review board. Dan White, a Vietnam veteran and former police officer and fireman shot Mayor Moscone and Milk in November 27, 1978 at the city hall. Dan White went into city hall with a .38 revolver and avoided metal detectors by going through a basement window that was open for ventilation. White then went into the mayor's office and started arguing with Moscone to re-appoint him. Then they went into a more private room and then White told him to reappoint him again, but Moscone refused so White shot him twice in the head and twice in the chest.White then went down to the corridor and shot Milk twice in the chest, twice in the head, and once in the back. He then turned himself at the police station that he use to work at.When Milk passed away the U.S Navy announced that they would be naming a tank after Milks honor. Milk's nephew praised the decision, say it would send “green light to all brave men and women who serve the nation.” 

Harvey Milk’s situation connects to gay right’s today because people still struggle with problems because gay kids get bullied for being gay. Harvey Milk’s situation made me feel a little disappointed because he got killed for being gay. I believe this is really sad because no one should get killed for liking someone that’s their own gender.

This triggered activists and it became a five day riot of gay pride, their rights and flying the gay flag. This contributed to a worldwide gay pride movement. It is considered the first gay protest for homosexuals. 

To this day, we still have violent acts towards gays; in 2016 at a Florida gay bar called “Pulse Nightclub” there were fifty fatalities because they were homosexual. The attacker was a terrorist apart of isis who said he shot the club visitors because he “was triggered by an airstrike in Iraq who killed an ISIL commander” six weeks before the shooting in Florida  Gay pride is still a movement and there are parades, bars and clubs to support the L.G.B.T. community.
