MILK

tonight i am going to the preview screening of MILK, the new gus van sant movie about harvey milk. i can’t honestly express how much i am looking forward to this, and how much i am hoping that this movie helps educating a whole new generation of people about how the gay rights movement started.

me and thousands of friends and other san franciscans all participated in this production as extras in several scenes. it is great to be part of this and to help re-create history for current and future generations.

it’s an inspiring and moving story, and please go see it when it comes out in your local theater. straight or gay, this movie is for everyone. i leave you here with the official trailer and an excerpt of harvey milk’s hope speech.
