Milk by Gus Van Sant with Sean Penn as Harvey Milk

November 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I guess everybody who knows a bit about San Francisco, knows Harvey Milk, in the 70’s he got elected, and fought for the gay people in San Francisco, the gay movement was born. The main mission was to be treated equal and to have the same rights as everybody else. Some may see it as an attraction in San Francisco, but I feel that gay people feel at home in San Francisco, usually highly educated people, with a different view on life. During the 80’s with the upcoming AIDS epidemy and the haunt on gay people, made it even more important to have ths movement. Even today in 2008 they are not treated as equal. JustĀ  a few weeks ago, there was a NO to proposition 8, even in San Francisco, unbelievable!
