After his time in the Navy, Lieutenant Harvey Milk worked as a high school teacher, an actuary, and a Wall Street researcher before embarking on a political career in San Francisco.
Becoming known as the Mayor of Castro Street (he was a San Francisco Supervisor), his campaign platform included gay rights, improved child care, public transportation, and civilian oversight of the police. Lieutenant Harvey Milk was the first openly gay politician to be elected. Unfortunately, Lieutenant Harvey Milk was assassinated, with Mayor Moscone, on November 27, 1978, by a fellow San Francisco Supervisor.
You can find some of his ashes encapsulated in front of 575 Castro Street in San Francisco.
