Milk is the latest Gus Van Sant movie that tackles the issue of homosexuality and the rights they fought for in 1978 under the leadership of Harvey Milk. While some progress has been made, one has to wonder if issues like Prop 8 would have ever been passed had Harvey been alive today. Whatever your views are about homosexuals and their rights, this is a movie I think everyone should see. Because if you voted Yes on Prop 8, hopefully this film helps to show you why everyone, no matter their race, gender or sexual orientation, should all have the same rights as everyone else in our great country. And how the issues facing homosexuals thirty years ago are still important issues today.
Check out our exclusive video interview below where I talk with James Franco, Emile Hirsch and Alison Pill about their roles in the movie.
Harvey Milk (1930-1978) was an activist and politician, and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in America; in 1977, he was voted to the city supervisors' board of San Francisco. The following year, both he and the city's mayor George Moscone were shot to death by another city supervisor, Dan White. Mr. Milk was previously the subject of the Academy Award-winning documentary feature "The Times of Harvey Milk" (1984), directed by Rob Epstein and produced by Richard Schmiechen. "Milk" will be the first non-documentary feature to explore the man's life and career.
