Description
In celebration of Harvey Milk Day, Tuesday, May 22, Stolichnaya vodka revealed a new mural dedicated to the late political activist, elected official, and gay rights pioneer. During an outdoor ceremony at the Cafe nightclub at 18th and Castro streets, nearly 100 people gathered to witness the unveiling.

Montania, an LGBTQ ally from Paraguay, said the mural represents the freedom to be authentic.

"For me it's an honor to be part of this project and tribute," Montania said. "It all started in my country and now we're closing the circle with this mural. Don't take this for granted. What you achieved here [in the Castro] is something amazing and most of the world doesn't experience this."
