Last Sunday I went to see Milk and for those of you that are older will remember the ‘70’s in the US – New York and LA in particular. Seeing this movie brought back to me the struggle that anybody who was discriminated against had to face. The performance that Sean Penn gives brings all this to life. His transformation and his commitment to portray a character like Harvey Milk speak so highly of him as a person. For you younger ones who weren’t around then, trust me, you didn’t miss anything. But we haven’t traveled that far from discrimination they were feeling in San Francisco in the ‘70s, for all one has to do is look at Proposition 8 in California to see how little has changed in thirty years and how much struggle this one still has to go through.
