The Moment: November 3, 1977: Harvey Milk wins election to the San Francisco Board
of Supervisors.
After agreeing to don Harvey Milk's signature ringer T-shirt and take a stroll through San Francisco's city hall, Dan Savage gets anecdotal. "I don't play dress-up very often," he says, "except when my husband and I go to International Mr. Leather." But to pay tribute to Harvey Milk -- who famously aspired to offer gay youth a choice beyond suicide or the closet -- Savage made an exception. "I was that kid. I read those stories. I was given hope by San Francisco and Harvey Milk," he says. "I've always felt a very personal connection." Savage's sex advice column, "Savage Love," is in its 24th year, while his Savage Lovecast, a weekly podcast version with more than 200,000 listeners, is now one of the top 50 podcasts on iTunes.
