Harvey Milk Day: Happening!

I don't think we can ever know. In one sense, since it was a political assassination - it might be fair to assume Milk being gay had something to do with it in the same way it would be fair to assume an assassination of Obama had something to do with him being black.

Of course, this killing was done by someone who knew Milk - so it could be argued it was a murder, and not "even" an assassination.

If we're going to generally consider it an assassination, I think it's fair to also credit his main issue as among the motives
