Its a fine idea and I'd love to promote it but don't you think perhaps someone should update the stamp image? First class postage is 44 cents now ya know.
Very true Kenny, I noticed that myself. Not sure why it says 33 lol.
I am disappointed, that the consideration for the stamp... does not include my iconic image of Harvey Milk... that introduced Harvey Nationally 5 months before he was elected. For the history of that image visit

It's not a painting... it's the real thing... plus I was a friend of Harvey Milk and been involved in gay rights since 1977
The image was created by artist Jeff Leff sometime in the late 80s. Here's an article about it: http://ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=3831
I would like to thank the Task Force for stepping up to help in this effort. But the need to give credit where credit is due for this effort. I started this effort over a year ago on Facebook. The Task force does great work, but please give credit where credit is due.
