Recently, I was invited to an advance screening of Milk, the new Gus Van Sant film about gay rights activist and first ever elected gay politician, Harvey Milk. The film was amazing but what i really took away from it was a sadness and disappointment. Not just at the film's storyline which was definitely somber, but, the fact that in this year of 2008, 30 odd years after Harvey Milk was assassinated, 25 years after his assassin walked out of prison for a mere manslaughter charge, and in the same year the first ever black president was elected running on the platform for change, California was still unable to go forward and pass a proposition allowing gay marriage/civil unions.
