May 22: Harvey Milk Day Kickoff

Pride events in West Hollywood officially begin May 22 with Harvey Milk Day. The event commemorates the political legacy of Milk (the first openly LGBTQ person to win political office in California), as well as the 4th annual José Julio Sarria Drag Pageant.

Sarria, the first openly gay man to run for office in the United States in 1961, helped pave the way for Harvey Milk’s successful run for office. Sarria was also a well-known drag performer (Window Norton), and founded the International Imperial Court System, one of the oldest and largest LGBT organizations in the world.

The May 22 Harvey Milk Day takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. in West Hollywood Park, 8750 El Tovar Place, West Hollywood.
