11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.

California marks Harvey Milk's birthday, May 22, as an annual statewide day of significance. The GLBT History Museum will honor the occasion this year by offering free admission to all visitors. In addition, the museum is extending a special welcome to Bay Area schools.

• Tours highlighting Harvey Milk will be provided every hour on the hour from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Teachers and student groups can schedule other times by contacting the museum.
• The Main Gallery screen will show rare video clips of Milk from the GLBT Historical Society archives.
• Throughout the week of May 20, the exhibit of Milk's belongings in the Front Gallery will feature a vintage tape recorder playing Milk's political will.

The museum includes materials about Milk and the 1970s in San Francisco not only in the Front Gallery display, but also in "Our Vast Queer Past" in the Main Gallery and "Legendary" in the Corner Gallery. A new gallery guide set for release on Harvey Milk Day will make it easy for visitors to discover this content.

A special three-part program featuring filmmakers charged with bringing Michelle Tea's award-winning autobiographical novel Valencia (2000) to the screen. Set in queer San Francisco in the 1990s, Valencia premieres at Frameline 37 in the third week of June. In a project headed by Tea and Hilary Goldberg, the movie was created by 18 filmmakers, each of whom created a short based on a chapter from the book.

In conversation with the author, the filmmakers will discuss pre- and post-gentrification San Francisco, nostalgia and fantasy, activism and desire, debauchery and subversion — and how those elements are represented in the film. The panels are set for 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Admission: $5.00 (general); $3.00 (California students); free for members.
