This is the country's highest civilian honor, and it is well-deserved. If only Harvey could be here to step up to the podium, receive the medal, and proceed to tell the administration and Congress to get off its *sses and do something concrete and lasting that will help all LGBT people in America achieve equality.. (Victory Fund): The award will be accepted at a White House ceremony August 12 by Stuart Milk, the nephew of the late San Francisco Supervisor and civil rights activist.
American tennis great Billy Jean King, who is openly lesbian, and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who has championed LGBT equality throughout his political career, also will receive the Presidential Medal of Honor at the August 12 ceremony. Kennedy was honored by the Victory Fund in 2004 with its Oates-Shrum Leadership Award in recognition of his tireless work on behalf of LGBT Americans. |
