thank the people who made "milk" possible
this only takes a few seconds, and i think it is an awesome idea considering the impact that milk has had and will continue to have. finally, thanks to this fantastic film, the gay rights movement has gone beyond san francisco and other liberal pockets of the us. people in middle america, who have had very little exposure (or negative exposure) to queer rights are seeing this film and rethinking their stances on hatred such as proposition. 8 it is a shame that this movie wasn't released well before the november election, the premier in san francisco was only a few weeks before the election, and it wasn't released nationally until late november. but i already see progress, and thanks to milk i see the gay rights movement, in a POSITIVE LIGHT, going beyond the 415. i am also so proud of san francisco, so proud of this magnificent city, and so happy that the release of milk has brought tourists (and their dollars) back into the castro.
