THE DEVIN'S ADVOCATE: THIRTY YEARS AFTER HARVEY MILK

—

Today I saw Gus Van Sant's Milk , and while I'm embargoed from reviewing the film, something struck me in the movie's second half that I think is fair game: we've come almost no distance from where we were when Harvey Milk was alive. Harvey Milk was the first openly gay man elected to a ...
