Several LGBT activists are campaigning for the U.S. Postal Service to issue a stamp honoring Harvey Milk, and one of them says Milk would love it -- and find it hilarious.

"He would get that twisted smile of his and say, 'Hell, imagine all those straights having to lick my backside to send a piece of mail,'" writes David Mixner on his blog, DavidMixner.com.

Mixner says this is nonetheless a serious effort to honor the assassinated San Francisco city supervisor. Leaders of the campaign are Michael Gaffney and Nicole Murray-Ramirez, assisted by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Others involved include Mixner; Milk's nephew Stuart Milk; Dustin Lance Black, Oscar-winning screenwriter of Milk; California assembly speaker John Perez; Milk associate Cleve Jones; and the Reverend Troy Perry.

More information, Mixner says, is available by writing to HarveyMilkStampDir@cox.net. For Mixner's full blog post, click here.
