Latino and longtime LGBTQ activist Nicole Murray Ramirez had much to celebrate Saturday.
“I look at it, and of course, I’m very honored, but I hope to see more signs like this,” he said. “I think that it’s important that our city acknowledges diversity. We have so many wonderful people that have devoted their entire lives to social activism, to equality.” Murray Ramirez also previously served on the region’s National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the county’s regional task force on AIDS in the 1980s.
“His fearlessness means all of us have a greater degree of freedom that we get to live in our lives. And we owe that to Nicole,” said Gloria, who made history in San Diego as the first openly gay mayor and the first mayor of color. The designation comes a decade after San Diego changed Blaine Avenue to Harvey Milk Street to recognize Milk, a civil rights activist who was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the nation. He was assassinated shortly after taking office on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977.

Wonderful to hear, Nicole but you deserve far far more than a street named after you. You’re a legend, a history maker, The (capital T) rock of our Hillcrest community and you have been decades. Thank you!
