Harvey Milk, the slain politician who became an icon of equal rights not just for the gay community in San Francisco but across the nation, will be commemorated in a forever stamp next month, the U.S. Postal Service announced Tuesday.
The stamp's issue will coincide with Milk's birthday on May 22. The stamps will be available in sheets of 20 and may be pre-ordered.
The image on the stamp comes from a circa-1977 photo taken by Daniel Nicoletta of Milk in front of Castro Street Camera in San Francisco. Antonio Alcalá of Alexandria, Va., oversaw art direction for the stamp.
The stamp comes a little more than 35 years after Milk's assassination in San Francisco City Hall alongside then-Mayor George Moscone on Nov. 27, 1978. Milk had won a seat on the Board of Supervisors in 1977.
In a news release, the Postal Service called Milk a "visionary leader" who gave hope and confidence to the LGBT community.
Milk's legacy has continued to thrive decades after his death with numerous books and films made about his life. In 2009, President Obama posthumously awarded Milk the Medal of Freedom.
Milk's stamp will join others honoring prominent figures, including former U.S. Rep. Shirley Chisholm, former President Reagan and civil rights activist Rosa Parks.

Here comes the lies and hate from you-know-who ...
Ah...their heads are exploding as we speak.
Nothing like celebrating the perverse, but it seems this is the new NORMAL in an America run by subversives! Next will be a run of stamps commorating serial killers?
In the past people were honored with their picture on a stamp for being a notable in their field; be it science, music, politics, business, cured diseases, war hero, etc.
Now we are honoring a pervert with a stamp because liked to get his fudge packed. ...

I'm sure that's what a few KKK folks still complain about anything honoring Rosa Parks as "an uppity negress who didn't like her seat"
It's just opinion at the end of the day.
