Or stay and fight!




'There's hope for a better world, there's hope for a better tomorrow. Without hope, not only gays, but the blacks, the asians, the disabled, the seniors. The us's. The us's. Without hope the us's give up. I know you cannot live on hope alone but without it life isn't worth living. You and you and you have gotta give 'em hope. Thank you very much."
-Harvey Milk.



My sister and I watched 'The Times of Harvey Milk' tonight. It is the Academy Award winning documentary from 1984 about Harvey Milk. Because my public school education failed me I didn't know about Harvey Milk until I was 16 and read about him on my own time. It's an amazing and inspiring story. I cannot wait to go see 'Milk.' Sean Penn and James Franco were nominated for Film Independent Spirit Awards today for their roles in the movie. In my opinion the Spirit Awards win over the Oscars any day.
