For me harvey milks legacy was not so much about lgbt rights, though that was part of it. For me harvey milk was about civil rights and the rights of all people and the recognition that we as minimum bier of the Lgbt Community are connected to other communities, and that we cannot be for lgbt rights if were also not for the rights of other groups. That we cannot be applause only about the Lgbt Community. That if you believe in gay rights and lgbt rights, that you necessarily have to be for the rights of immigrants. That you necessarily have to be for the rights of women. That you necessarily have to be for the right for anyone who is disinfranchised in society. That to me is the essence of that legacy. And why its a legacy that transcends, transcends the Lgbt Community in terms whatv harvey milk was about. So, as an openly gay latino man, i am grateful for that legacy. And i am grateful that harvey milk, that george moscone, have become a beacon of light and hope not only for the Lgbt
Crisis residential. Last year in the budget we did a good job of repurposing our Behavioral Health center because what we found was that the federal government is now changing what is acute in psych for psych beds. And, so, those who were so, we have a large group of people who were not acute in the hospital at the very expensive level of care.

We wont have to spend the dollars on an acute hospital and we can still provide the kind of stabilization that they need before their next level of consider. We just [speaker not understood] they will open 12 crisis beds in merger with medical respite. Well have 60 additional direct access to housing units. And in this year we have exp
Hostess went under. [laughter] applause but when i went to see the bust for that first time, a bust that i have to admit captured georges mile wide grin and dramatically imperfect teeth, i saw on the pedestal so many things that i didnt know were there. I saw the names of my brothers and sister inside a heart, my dads favorite movie, quotes by him how much he considered being mayor, honor bestowed on him, and the things made possible for people who didnt have power, who didnt have voice, there was so much more on that pedestal than death. And, so, i think its time to reclaim George Moscone from the narcissistic legacy or the senselessness of dan white or the well intentioned world of hollywood or the better intentioned world of theater. Its time to reclaim him from the places where the real george gets lost in the story of others, even in my own. And we gift him back to the city and to the people, to his friends and to his colleagues and to the citizens who are the fabric and texture a
