Milk

"My name is Harvey Milk and I want to recruit you." Milk, the movie on the life of Harvey Milk who was gay activist and city supervisor of San Francisco in the 1970s.

The film captured the major events and people of his life when he turned 40. Moving from New York to San Francisco, Harvey and his partner Scott, opened a shop, Castro Camera. A 'shrewd' businessman, he worked closely with shops who welcomed and accepted gays and slowly transforming Castro into a predominantly gay community. He started a political gay campaign in 1973 and finally won a seat as a city supervisor by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977.

Harvey Milk had successfully campaigned for gay rights ordinance and defeated Proposition 6, which was John Brigg's legislation to ban gays and lesbians from working in public schools. This ban even extended the dismissal of supporter of gays and lesbians. I admire his strength and fight to his life and rights. Harvey Milk is truly an inspirational and visionary man. Without this man, US would have been a much different place. He is a legend.

Rating: 5 out of 5 fairy clouds. Bravo to human rights. Bravo to the right to live your life the way you choose to. Kudos to those conservative bastards who seek the veil of religious as the choice of weapon because they are too narrow minded to see the world.
