Harvey Milk and George Moscone were progressive icons in San Francisco, both in 1978 and the present day. Harvey Milk is known throughout the LGBT community as one of the first openly-gay officials to serve in public office, and as an outspoken leader of the gay rights movement. George Moscone led San Francisco into a progressive era that resembled the style of government that San Francisco is infamous for today. Harvey Milk and George Moscone died at the hands of Dan White, a member of the board of supervisors along with Harvey Milk. Dianne Feinstein also weaves her way into this story. It was she who found the body of Harvey Milk after Milk was murdered in cold blood. Feinstein would go on to become mayor of San Francisco and Senator from California, a role she serves in to this day.
