You Gotta Give Them Hope!!!!

 

Harvey Milk is an EXTRAORDINARY and AMAZING Human Being.  He was the first openly gay man to serve office in San Francisco.  He was such a stand for equality and hope.  I am so happy there are people in this world who stand for this no matter what!  In 2008 they made an incredible about Harvey Milk called Milk.  The scene below is from that movie:

Harvey Milk is threatened if he goes on stage he will be killed.  But he does it anyway!  And he reminds us that America is for everyone!  Our rights and freedoms are for EVERYONE!  No matter what!

Here is Milk's Hope Speech!  Amazing!
