I didn't know about Harvey Milk until today, and his story is sure worth knowing. In the picture is Sean Penn playing him in the new biopic (titled "Milk") to be released later this year. As I did this morning, you should check out the 1984 documentary The Times of Harvey Milk which is right in YouTube for your viewing convinience, and even though you can be lazy about it I give you permission to beat me in the balls if after watching it you regret it. I'll give you my address so you can come do it!
It's amazing to me how someone could be so so very brave and die for the rights that I have today, it really means a whole lot to me. Thank God there have been people like that.
The killing of that guy Milk was the subject, altering the lyrics somewhat, of the Dead Kennedys' version of I Fought the Law, a rock'n'roll song from the 50's. I wonder if it'll be included in the soundtrack.

Looks like it'll be big in the oscars. I wish it had come out before the prop 8 voting, I think it could've helped.
