Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on October 11, 1954)

Happy birthday, Cleve! You've led such an incredible journey—from pioneering activism with Harvey Milk and co-founding the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, to creating the unforgettable AIDS Memorial Quilt. Your courage turns difficult chapters into lasting movements that warm people's hearts more than a gentle hug wrapped in rainbow fabric.

This past year your persistent strength in championing human rights continued to inspire countless individuals far beyond San Francisco Bay. May today sparkle brightly—much like your tireless dedication—and may this year be filled with joy, laughter, cake that's sweeter than victories for equality...and moments that make you smile wider than a pride parade banner!
