Go see "Milk"

If you haven't gone to see "Milk" yet, go. I found it a remarkably moving film about Harvey Milk, poltical activist, politician and martyr.

It worked for me on a number of levels. First, it illustrated quite movingly, how far we've come in the Gay Rights movement in such a short period of time. Second, it had a number of parallels between the Anita Bryants and the Dade County anti-gay legislation of 30 years ago with today's reaction to the California's Prop 8 legislation today.

We need more politicians of conscience and after the eight years of the second Bush presidency, we'll get them.
