(San Francisco, California) Hundreds of people filled the Rotunda at San Francisco City Hall Thursday night for the official unveiling of a bronze bust honoring the first openly gay man to hold a prominent elected office in the United States - more than 28 years after he was assassinated.

The unveiling came on what would have been Harvey Milk’s 78th birthday.

"We’re celebrating an icon tonight. We’re celebrating a pioneer. We’re celebrating San Francisco. We’re celebrating San Francisco values. And, we’re celebrating all that’s good and right with this City,” said Mayor Gavin Newsom.
