His life changed history. His courage changed lives.
In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco
Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay
man to be voted into public office in America. His
victory was not just a victory for gay rights; he
forged coalitions across the political spectrum. From
senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk changed
the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for
human rights and became, before his untimely death in
1978, a hero for all Americans. Milk charts the last
eight years of Harvey Milk's life. While living in
New York City, he turns 40. Looking for more purpose,
Milk and his lover Scott Smith relocate to San
Francisco, where they found a small business, Castro
Camera, in the heart of a working-class neighborhood.
With his beloved Castro neighborhood and beautiful
city empowering him, Milk surprises Scott and himself
by becoming an outspoken agent for change. With
vitalizing support from Scott and from new friends
like young activist Cleve Jones, Milk plunges
headfirst into the choppy waters of politics.
Bolstering his public profile with humor, Milk's
actions speak even louder than his gift-of-gab words.
When Milk is elected supervisor for the newly zoned
District 5, he tries to coordinate his efforts with
those of another newly elected supervisor, Dan White.
But as White and Milk's political agendas
increasingly diverge, their personal destinies
tragically converge. Milk's platform was and is one
of hope--a hero's legacy that resonates in the here
and now.
