The Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk by Randy Shilts

4.0

I never knew much about Harvey Milk beyond the fact that he was the first out gay politician, but reading this book has made me appreciate him and mourn for what could have been. Shilts give you an inside look into his internal and personal life outside of politics and shows you how he was the person the LGBT community needed at the time and perhaps even more so now, as the same bigotry and hate still exists.
