An important note for today: Though a warrior, Milk knew he had to win hearts, and didn't simply demand that everyone else accept him first. The moment he decided to enter politics, he got a haircut and traded his hippy clothes for that nice suit and tie. True American class -- but unfortunately lost on the I do what I want activist style of the present era.
One of his quotes is approximately: First they may shout at you. Then you can sit down and talk.

Yet so much hatred and inequality since the aftermath of the tragedy. With many police and govt officials clearly supporting for White's release and put the blame on Milk. From openly wore Free Dan White T-shirts in the days after the murder, telling Harvey Milk jokes, and somebody that sang Danny Boy in the police band. Looks like they really hate Milk. So much, till it was considered lucky for Milk to hold the supervisor position for about 11 months

1- Harvey Milk publicly outed a man named Oliver Sipple against his will, after Sipple foiled an assasination attempt on then president Ford. Sipples mental health would deteriorate sharply until he died at the age of 47.
2- the twinkie defense is not what you think it is. Read some source material.

As always, an informative presentation. My only criticism is with the animation, specifically the nose. Its very distracting. At first, I thought he had a deformity until I saw that everyone had a weird nose. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

Milk was aware that he could be shot dead for his political activism, even living posthumous messages in the event of such a tragedy. And yet he continued to publicly demand change? Milk is one of the most courageous people to have ever lived.

The hunter gather people will not tolorate homophobes. They believe that everyone is equal. That includes the childern. They aren't all that bad. Are they angels? No, but they aren't monsters.

Queerphobia, demonizing lgbtq+ folks, hate/misinformation, society seems to hold by, yet must be erased for all of us to be able to evolve to peace & love! #QueerRIGHTS

Conservatives are facing the same prosecution. We do not deserve to be silenced, shunted, fired, isolated, deplatformed. We deserve a voice.
