If you haven't seen this film, you should.
Now I know an awful lot about gay and lesbian history, but I'll admit I didn't know much about Harvey Milk until quite recently. But that might exactly be the point and why this film is so important.
Today the GLBT community wages the good fight against bigotry and while we have made some significant advances, such as less anonymity, no bar arrests, etc., it's still an uphill battle. Milk helped to win a battle against a bigoted California referendum, but this year we lost to the religious bigots. Much needs to be done, and this film will hopefully wake some people up.
