Harvey Milk did great things in his life time. While if he had lived longer he would have done more, he did do great things, greater things then I think himself or his supporters ever imagined.
This speech reminds me of society nowadays, where somewhere around he United States, someone is being murdered for being gay. That's not right. Harvey Milk was a great man for a rgeat cause. He had no reason to die. Harvey could have done great things...
This speech moves me to tears. Harvey Milk should not have died. Man's ignorance is the worst plague this world has to fight. I wish we could learn to look beyond "labels" and be able to see the individual's soul...
