        The accolade of “first elected openly gay official” is often misattributed to Harvey Milk. In fact, 2 out lesbians were elected BEFORE him— in 1974 Kathy Kozachenko was elected to Ann Arbor City Council in Michigan & Elaine Noble was elected to the Massachusetts House.pic.twitter.com/PnRbftuMlW

        Because of Harvey Milk's assassination he became more widely known and remembered. Unfortunately, this diminished the accomplishments of others by many media outlets. Thank you for posting the accurate facts.

        Harvey Milk was the first openly gay male to be elected to office but the first openly gay official belongs to Kathy Kozachenko elected in 1974. The first known out gay person to run for elected office was Jose Sarria in 1961.

        Is it the use of “openly” that PinkNews stands by this-were the 2 Lesbians mentioned in the comments “open”-if so than this article needs to be corrected
