Last night we watched "Milk" on pay per view.

It is an exciting and heartbreaking story. I remember his death, since I lived 35 miles from San Francisco, but I wasn't aware of all he was doing before his death. It was educational to watch what all went on back in the 70s. I was busy being a teenager, not paying a lot of attention to gay rights.

He worked very hard to promote gay rights (which IMO are simply human rights). He had a lot of opposition. He and those around him seem to me to have made great strides in just a few years. Like MLK and Pres. Kennedy, I have to wonder what more good he might have done, had he been allowed to live his life. He would be 79 or so now.
