Got Milk?
And if you haven't already, please watch Rob Epstein's Academy Award-winning documentary "The Times of Harvey Milk." Harvey may not be a trans woman of color, but he did do a little for the LGBT community.

Eye on the Prize
Trust me, I am angry too. This week has been one of the darkest on record in my lifetime. But the only real way to start fixing these injustices is by winning elections.
UPDATE:
Sounds like President Obama agrees with Harvey and me. Read HERE.

But would blondie have felt the need to say something to two white businessmen, two country boys or two Real Housewives who were behaving similarly? (Of course not.) Racism is when you hold one group of people to a higher standard than another

Stoli Launches Limited Edition Harvey Milk Bottle
What better way to mark Harvey Milk Day than with vodka in a new bottle honoring the civil-rights pioneer?
From a release:
Designed to celebrate the life and legacy of Harvey Milk, the Stoli Harvey Milk Limited Edition Bottle continues Stoli’s long history supporting the LGBTQ community and commemorates the 40th anniversary of Milk taking office in 1978 as the first openly gay elected official in California. The bottle’s label, which was inspired by a mural by Paraguayan artist Oz Montania, will help raise money for the Harvey Milk Foundation’s mission to promote equality around the world.
The limited-edition bottle is a part of Stoli’s “Raising the Bar” program, the brand platform dedicated to the LGBTQ equality movement. “Raising the Bar” celebrates individuals and organizations central to advancing diversity and originality within the LGBTQ community. This reinforces Stoli’s recently launched global campaign “Loud & Clear,” created to encourage people to find what drives them and celebrate their bold and authentic selves.Cheers!

Revisiting 'The Times of Harvey Milk'
The recent Harvey Milk Day celebration got me in the mood to rewatch the Academy Award-winning "Times of Harvey Milk," which I have on DVD but had never opened. The bonus disc left me a forlorn -- if only there were an alternate ending. Watch it if you haven't -- I truly believe it should be required viewing for all 9th graders in America. It's been how many years and I still get chills when Dianne Feinstein must announce the tragic news -- and become engaged when assassin Dan White gets a slap on the wrist. The jurors WEPT when they heard HIM describe what HE'D been through??!!!!!!! What. The. F**k?

Happy Harvey Milk Day!
When people play the "If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would you pick?" game, my answer is always this guy.
Harvey Milk would have turned 85 today.
Cleve Jones looks back, and still sees lessons for today:
"Harvey also believed that the LGBT community was part of something larger — the global movement for peace and social justice. He believed in coalitions with labor unions, feminists, antiwar activists, and other progressives. Here in San Francisco, he fought for renters, senior citizens, people of color, and low-wage workers. He wasn’t a single-issue candidate, and as a city supervisor he championed the causes of our most vulnerable residents."

Via Towleroad:
Dave Evans has compiled an awesome set of clips from the 1970s which includes the first Gay Pride parade in Central Park, a gay march through NYC in 1971, Carter aides meeting with gay activists in '77, Anita Bryant and the pie as well as her campaign in Dade County, gay rights bills in Wichita, St. Paul, and around the country, Harvey Milk's murder, and much, much more. It's more than 70 minutes long but well worth your time.Watch HERE.
