Harvey milk

Athough I haven’t seen the film of “TheTimes of Harvey Milk” but I read somethings about Harvey Milk in the Internet.

He was an American politician and the firstthe openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisiors His most famous talking points became known as the "Hope Speech", which became a staple throughout his political career. It opened with a play on the accusation that gay people recruit impressionable youth into their numbers: "My name is Harvey Milk—and I want to recruit you". A version of the Hope Speech that he gave near the end of his life was considered by his friends and aides to be the best, and the closing the most effective:

And the young gay people in the Altoona, Pennsylvanias and the Richmond, Minnesotas who are coming out and hear Anita Bryant in television and her story. The only thing they have to look forward to is hope. And you have to give them hope. Hope for a better world, hope for a better tomorrow, hope for a better place to come to if the pressures at home are too great. Hope that all will be all right. Without hope, not only gays, but the blacks, the seniors, the handicapped, the us'es, the us'es will give up. And if you help elect to the central committee and other offices, more gay people, that gives a green light to all who feel disenfranchised, a green light to move forward. It means hope to a nation that has given up, because if a gay person makes it, the doors are open to everyone.

After reading about him I don’t hate gay that much any more, althoug gays are not nature way of loving but that’s still love, you can’t force how people want to love or how to love, we have no right to take away their right of loving. What can we say, it’s the 21century, people learn how to respect people and people know everyone has the right to choose what they want. Might we can’t accept it but we just have to learn how to respect it! Harvey Milk was just like John Locke and Henri Rousseau they fight for the democracy and freedom. These people just wanted people to learn how to resect people and love each other in a peaceful way, but why human being always want to use the hard way and than the innocent one sacificed, afterwoods they say they were sorry. What is that for? Why don’t people just learn their lesson from the history? Is it learn it quicker if someone sacrifice in front of you? Does every one like to see the hero thing in front of us? Why don’t we just learn these lessons and try to work in the peaceful way, not only on the gay right but also on every other rights that we want to be accept by the world.
