In 1979, former San Francisco City Supervisor Daniel James “Dan” White was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the slayings of Mayor George Richard Moscone and openly gay Supervisor Harvey Bernard Milk; outrage over the verdict sparked rioting. (White was sentenced to seven years and eight months in prison; he ended up serving five years and took his own life in 1985.) #DanWhite#GeorgeMoscone#HarveyMilk
