Harvey Milk Stamps Now Available for PreOrder

Back in 1977, Harvey Milk made history when he got elected to the San Fransisco Board of Supervisors. This simple achievement -- accomplished through years of determination and bridge-building -- made him the first openly gay elected official in the USA. Unfortunately, he was gunned down by one of his colleagues in late 1978.

The United States Postal Service now allows you to preorder official "Harvey Milk Stamps." You can preorder them here. The stamps themselves will go on sale effective 05/22/14.
