Harvey Milk Mural at 575 Castro

Andy at Towleroad sent us this update on the magnificent, color-blasted mural over at Given, which used to be Castro Camera, Harvey Milk's former headquarters/living space. (Why, we were just there the other day to find those poo & pee dolls for a friend's one-year-old. We completely failed to notice this piece going up.)

Given's owner, Nick Romero, commissioned this mural for his store to memorialize the slain city supervisor. (Other than a sidewalk plaque in front of the store, that wasn't much to let customers or the curious know that this was the place where Milk lived and a earned the title Mayor of Castro Street.) Pretty nifty, eh? That will help sell some poo and pee dolls for sure.

But wait -- there's more! After the jump, see how the mural whimsically highlights Milk's violent death.
