Also, Milk is dwarfed by Moscone, the assassination of whom was the main objective of White, and the assassination of whom led to the political rise of Dianne Feinstein. Those of us who were there, then, know. The Castro district was well-known to all of us straights in the Bay Area, but Milk was no celebrity — he is simply a subculture figure, nothing more.
