One of San Francisco's historic streetcars was dedicated to Harvey Milk on Tuesday, October 28, 2008, same day as the film's premier at the Castro Theater. PCC streetcar no. 1051 is painted in the 1970s livery used by the San Francisco Municipal Railway and appeared briefly in the film Milk. Here are links with additional and supporting information.

Harvey Milk is not the first opening gay person elected to public office in the USA. That was Elaine Noble in 1974. See her article. I believe the error was generated by the film: "Milk".

I have submitted Portal:San Francisco Bay Area to peer review. i would welcome any comments. i believe it is fully ready for featured portal status, but i have been just about the only editor there for a while.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 08:52, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Harvey milk was not the first openly gay person elected publicly as the article states, although he was one of them.

I think you might have missed the rest of the sentence: " the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in California". Maralia (talk) 17:49, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
