Grew up in the Bay Area. I actually remember it. Somewhere in the back of my mind he was a hero to me while I was growing up.
I am going to be in SF the weekend of the opening. I would love to see it there - but I can't decide if I should - I think I'll start bawling the minute it starts.

It barely made the news outside of California because it happened only a couple days after the much more dramatic Jonestown mass suicide, which totally dominated the news for months, kinda like the OJ Simpson trial. I didn't really know much about Milk until years later when I came out.

I'm very curious to see this movie.

This movie actually looks pretty great.

I cried just watching this preview.

Monster So Gus Van Sant's made a movie about milk. The next logical step is for Todd Haynes to make a movie about ... (drum roll) ... COOKIES!!!

Yay radical gay filmmakers! Yay milk and cookies!

On the contrary. The assisination of the mayor and Harvey Milk made large headlines everywhere.

Still, interesting how long it took for this film to get made.
Watching the morons protesting it will be even funnier. Spouting their quaint, irrelevant rhetoric as happy "normal" people go to see a movie about a brave man and not care about what the couple two seats down does when out of the theatre.
