By Mark Singer (Washington DC) DEC 10 | In an interview with KTVU News 2 reporter David Stevenson, friends and former top aides of slain LGBTQ Equality Rights leader Harvey Milk are wary or opposed to the Human Rights Campaign moving into Milk's old camera shop & political headquarters in San Francisco’s Castro District.
LGBTQ Activist Cleve Jones along with former Milk employee and San Francisco photographer Dan Nicoletta in separate interviews said that Milk was a grass-roots activist who often fought establishment business oriented political types and would not have approved of HRC's deep corporate ties.

I disagree that Harvey would be upset with the HRC renting his old camera shop landmark location. It's better than a franchise coffee shop or x-rated magazine store. Ironically, just over a moth ago, I received an email from the HRC, asking permission to use an Iconic image of mine of Harvey Milk. I told their representative that I had problems with some of HRC programs, such as too many of their Black-tie Events price gay students and seniors, as well as hourly wage gay workers from attending their events. I also said I was not happy that the excluded the trans-gender segment of the gay community from their "Rights" agendas. However, I believe that they are the right kind of occupant for that location, with or without my image. Since the Movie about "Milk", millions of people are now aware of Harvey, that store and the early gay rights movement and will offer tourist and pilgrims the opportunity to be in one of Gay History's landmarks.
