milk

we just finished watching Milk tonight, and I would highly recommend watching it, Sean Penn did a great job as usual. It really hit a chord for me because we now live in this same city where this all went down, and after being in California while Prop 8 was actually brought to a vote, and then actually winning (a year ago this month) - it is just so unbelievable to me that still today people actually think that gay people wanting to marry has any impact whatsoever on their relationships, that it weakens the sanctity of marriage and all the other crappy excuses that were broadcast all over the radio over and over during those months to excuse taking away basic human rights... it's really just boggles my mind...
