The event marks the first time a street has been named after an openly gay San Diego man.
The City of San Diego designated a portion of Harvey Milk Street in Hillcrest as"Honorary Nicole Murray Ramirez Way" on Saturday.
“When I think about the world Nicole was born into, in many ways Nicole should be the one standing here as the first openly LGBTQ elected mayor of this city, but that was not the time he was born in. He made do with what he was given, to bust down the door of the closets we were forced to live in so we could all live safer and more fulfilling and authentic lives,” said Mayor Todd Gloria during Saturday’s street unveiling ceremony.
He was an advocate for LGBTQ rights, and Latino civil rights, when doing so was still dangerous. Murray Ramirez was one of the first people to apply for the Pride Parade permit back in the 1970s. He was denied that permit. Through his own personal struggles, he persisted.
