Description
Join the City of West Hollywood and Drag Laureate Pickle in celebrating Harvey Milk Day. We will celebrate the political legacy of Harvey Milk, the first openly LGBTQ person to win political office in California, and hold the 2nd annual José Julio Sarria Drag Pageant. Sarria was the first openly gay man to run for office in the United States in 1961 and helped pave the way for Harvey Milk’s successful run for office. José Julio Sarria was also a well-known drag performer under the name Window Norton, and founded the International Imperial Court System, one of the oldest and largest LGBT organizations in the world.
