Harvey Milk Day is on May 22nd, celebrating Harvey Milk, who was one of the first openly gay people elected to public office in the United States. He worked hard to help people accept and respect everyone, no matter who they love. On this day, people remember his efforts to make the world a kinder place for everyone, especially for gay people. Schools might talk about him and teach how important it is to treat all people fairly. It's a day to honor someone who believed in standing up for what's right and helping others feel included.
