Not familiar with Harvey Milk? In the late 70's, he became the first openly gay elected official.
He fought for gay rights in California more than 30 years ago. Amazingly, the fight continues today - such as last year's Proposition 8 in the California election...
In the movie Milk, Sean Penn portrays Harvey. He's supported by a cast that includes Josh Brolin (the older brother from The Goonies) and James Franco (the spoiled rich kid from Spiderman).
Sean sure has come along way from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. If he does not receive every award for best actor, I'll be very surprised. He was extraordinary in this movie. Never once did Sean say "dude" or act stoned in class.
So, uh, like, dude - see this movie.
