1
00:02:32,830 --> 00:02:38,600
This is Harvey Milk speaking
on Friday, November 18th.
2
00:02:39,970 --> 00:02:44,430
This is only to be played in the
event of my death by assassination.
3
00:02:48,180 --> 00:02:50,610
During one of
my early campaigns,
4
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:56,580
I began to open speeches with a line
and it became kind of a signature.
5
00:02:57,250 --> 00:03:00,420
My name is Harvey Milk
and I want to recruit you.
6
00:03:02,190 --> 00:03:06,720
If I was speaking to a
slightly hostile audience
7
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,860
or a mostly straight one, I might
break the tension with a joke.
8
00:03:11,370 --> 00:03:13,770
I know. I know I'm
not what you expected,
9
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,430
but I left my
high heels at home.
10
00:03:18,940 --> 00:03:24,340
I fully realize that a person
who stands for what I stand for,
11
00:03:24,410 --> 00:03:25,880
an activist,
a gay activist,
12
00:03:27,220 --> 00:03:31,740
makes himself the target
for someone who is insecure,
13
00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:34,950
terrified, afraid
and disturbed themselves.
14
00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:39,550
It's a very real possibility you
see, because in San Francisco,
15
00:03:39,630 --> 00:03:43,430
we have broken a dam of major
prejudice in this country.
16
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:46,520
...room 200.
I'm in the mayor's office.
17
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,400
We are trying
to ascertain what is happening.
18
00:03:51,210 --> 00:03:53,330
As President of the
Board of Supervisors,
19
00:03:53,410 --> 00:03:55,840
it's my duty to
make this announcement.
20
00:03:56,780 --> 00:04:00,610
Both Mayor Moscone and
Supervisor Harvey Milk
21
00:04:01,650 --> 00:04:03,880
have been shot and killed.
22
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,980
I wish I had time to explain
all the things that I did.
23
00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:15,000
Almost everything was done
with an eye on the gay movement.
24
00:04:24,540 --> 00:04:26,030
Hey. Hey.
25
00:04:28,010 --> 00:04:29,370
I'm Harvey.
26
00:04:29,810 --> 00:04:31,040
Okay, Harvey.
27
00:04:32,780 --> 00:04:34,150
Today's my birthday.
28
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,810
No, hey, actually it is
my birthday. At midnight.
29
00:04:38,890 --> 00:04:39,950
Really?
30
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:43,490
And, believe it or not,
I don't have any plans.
31
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,430
Some people took
me out after work.
32
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:53,090
Hmm. And that would be at,
let me guess, Ma Bell or AT&T.
33
00:04:53,970 --> 00:04:55,830
The Great American
Insurance Company.
34
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:57,000
Oh.
35
00:04:57,070 --> 00:05:00,100
I'm part of that corporate
establishment that,
36
00:05:00,180 --> 00:05:03,110
let me guess, you think is the
cause of all the evil in the world,
37
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:04,740
from Vietnam
to diaper rash.
38
00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:06,370
You left out bad breath.
39
00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:10,880
Just kidding.
40
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,080
You're not gonna let me spend my
birthday all by myself, are you?
41
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,160
Listen, Harvey,
42
00:05:22,460 --> 00:05:24,460
you're pretty cute,
43
00:05:24,530 --> 00:05:26,500
but I don't
date guys over 40.
44
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:30,640
Well, then, this
is my lucky night.
45
00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:32,470
Why is that?
46
00:05:32,540 --> 00:05:34,240
I'm still 39.
47
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,770
It's only 11:15.
48
00:05:47,660 --> 00:05:48,950
Come on.
49
00:05:53,190 --> 00:05:54,960
What's your name?
50
00:05:55,030 --> 00:05:56,930
I'm Scott.
51
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,930
Very nice to meet you,
Mr. Harvey, insurance man.
52
00:06:38,570 --> 00:06:40,730
Where are you from?
53
00:06:40,810 --> 00:06:42,640
Jackson, Mississippi.
54
00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:47,580
This isn't Jackson. You can't
respond to just every strange man
55
00:06:47,650 --> 00:06:49,280
that picks you up
on a subway platform.
56
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:50,370
It's too dangerous.
57
00:06:50,450 --> 00:06:51,780
Hmm, now you tell me.
58
00:06:52,990 --> 00:06:54,720
The New York Police
are the toughest.
59
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:56,520
They're arrogant
and they're everywhere.
60
00:06:56,590 --> 00:06:58,060
I'll show you all
the cruising spots,
61
00:06:58,130 --> 00:07:00,060
but you have to be very
careful, little Scotty-san.
62
00:07:00,130 --> 00:07:02,490
Are you on
some uppers or something?
63
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:05,900
No. This is
just plain me.
64
00:07:07,140 --> 00:07:08,860
And you're scared
of the cops?
65
00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:12,200
I'm just discreet.
I know a lot of people.
66
00:07:12,270 --> 00:07:14,170
If they see me,
I could lose my job.
67
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:16,710
Oh, you're one of those.
68
00:07:18,650 --> 00:07:22,740
Well, I think you need to find
a new scene. Some new friends.
69
00:07:25,750 --> 00:07:27,920
I need a change.
I know.
70
00:07:29,260 --> 00:07:30,880
Yeah, you're 40 now.
71
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:31,950
Oh.
72
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,560
Forty years old and I haven't
done a thing I'm proud of.
73
00:07:39,630 --> 00:07:43,630
You keep eating this cake and you're
going to be fat by the time you're 50.
74
00:07:43,710 --> 00:07:45,640
That's if I ever
get to 50. Oh!
75
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,470
Happy birthday, old man.
76
00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:55,010
Why don't we
run away together?
77
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,350
Where to?
78
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:12,030
HARVEY/ In the past, and still now,
79
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:15,430
San Francisco was the place
where everyone wanted to go.
80
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,940
To drop out,
to fall in love.
81
00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:26,950
But by 1972, the Haight was boarded
up. Drug filled, crime filled.
82
00:08:27,020 --> 00:08:29,540
The new place
for us refugees
83
00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:32,920
was a little Irish Catholic
neighborhood in the Eureka Valley,
84
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:35,580
six blocks square,
85
00:08:36,830 --> 00:08:38,520
the Castro.
86
00:09:24,270 --> 00:09:26,900
I cashed my last unemployment
check yesterday.
87
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,480
Well, I hope you did
something useful with it.
88
00:09:32,180 --> 00:09:33,880
I bought
an ounce of pot.
89
00:09:33,950 --> 00:09:35,680
Don't
move for a second.
90
00:09:39,050 --> 00:09:41,280
I suppose
I can wait tables.
91
00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:43,810
I don't want you to go anywhere.
92
00:09:43,890 --> 00:09:46,330
I want you
right here with me.
93
00:09:47,330 --> 00:09:49,520
I was thinking
about a little shop.
94
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,000
What kind of shop?
95
00:09:51,070 --> 00:09:52,660
Just a little shop
with a little overhead.
96
00:09:52,730 --> 00:09:53,760
Not too much work.
97
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,500
Just like Morris and Minnie
Milk of Woodmere, New York.
98
00:09:57,170 --> 00:09:59,540
Did you see the little
place downstairs for rent?
99
00:09:59,610 --> 00:10:01,010
Yeah.
100
00:10:01,810 --> 00:10:03,370
What do you
think about that?
101
00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:05,540
I think it sounds great.
102
00:10:05,610 --> 00:10:07,840
A little bit
up on the left.
103
00:10:13,220 --> 00:10:15,450
Oh, it looks great.
Looks great.
104
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,850
Yeah.
105
00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:19,150
You're the
new renters?
106
00:10:19,930 --> 00:10:21,920
Well, hello.
Harvey Milk.
107
00:10:23,060 --> 00:10:24,430
McConnely.
Welcome to Castro Camera.
108
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:25,760
Scott.
109
00:10:26,730 --> 00:10:28,700
Yeah. Like,
you know, I would like
110
00:10:28,770 --> 00:10:32,670
to join the, what's it called, The
Eureka Valley Merchants Association.
111
00:10:32,740 --> 00:10:33,930
I'm not an interloper.
112
00:10:34,010 --> 00:10:36,770
A Jew, perhaps, but I
hope you'll forgive that.
113
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,330
If you open
those doors,
114
00:10:38,410 --> 00:10:41,380
the Merchants Association will
have the police pull your license.
115
00:10:41,450 --> 00:10:42,920
Under what law?
116
00:10:42,980 --> 00:10:44,680
Excuse me?
117
00:10:44,750 --> 00:10:47,810
There's man's law and there's
God's law in this neighborhood
118
00:10:47,890 --> 00:10:49,020
and in this city.
119
00:10:49,090 --> 00:10:50,610
You know,
we pay taxes.
120
00:10:50,690 --> 00:10:54,060
The San Francisco police force
is happy to enforce either.
121
00:10:54,130 --> 00:10:55,190
Have a good day.
122
00:10:55,260 --> 00:10:58,430
Yeah, thank you for the warm
welcome to the neighborhood!
123
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,300
Schmuck!
124
00:11:03,140 --> 00:11:04,230
Well.
125
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:06,970
Hey.
126
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:12,950
Okay.
Customers, come on in.
127
00:11:35,370 --> 00:11:38,130
We'll form our
own business association.
128
00:11:38,210 --> 00:11:40,400
We'll start with
the gay businesses.
129
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,380
We'll get the addresses of every customer
that comes in the store for a roll of film
130
00:11:44,450 --> 00:11:47,810
and we'll ask them what they
want, what they need changed.
131
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,050
We'll get some money rolling in
here. Revitalize the neighborhood.
132
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,520
Can I come in now?
133
00:11:53,690 --> 00:11:55,280
One more minute.
134
00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:59,390
And I can go to
the neighborhood banks.
135
00:11:59,460 --> 00:12:01,360
They must have
some gay customers.
136
00:12:01,430 --> 00:12:05,090
Look, Harvey, what's with all
this political activist crap?
137
00:12:05,170 --> 00:12:07,730
I mean, I thought you
were a goddamn Republican.
138
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,740
I'm a businessman, Scott.
139
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,100
And businesses should be
good to their customers.
140
00:12:13,670 --> 00:12:15,970
Even if their
customers are gay.
141
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,040
For God's sake,
it's San Francisco!
142
00:12:18,110 --> 00:12:20,950
Yeah. Well, it's just like
any other city in the country.
143
00:12:21,020 --> 00:12:22,540
They hate us.
Real surprise.
144
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:25,450
We should have at least one
block in one city, right?
145
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,250
We start there and then we'll
take over the neighborhood.
146
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,650
Maybe.
147
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,190
I'm coming in.
148
00:12:33,260 --> 00:12:35,460
Okay,
you can come in now.
149
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,800
Finally.
This better be good.
150
00:12:41,540 --> 00:12:42,870
Oh!
151
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:45,100
Happy birthday!
152
00:12:48,110 --> 00:12:51,340
I had to do it! I had
to do it! I had to do it!
153
00:12:51,410 --> 00:12:53,540
Sanctuary, sanctuary!
Harvey Milk!
154
00:12:53,610 --> 00:12:54,600
Sanctuary!
155
00:12:55,150 --> 00:12:57,380
And Castro became
destination number one.
156
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,920
Hundreds of gay men were coming
every week from all over the world.
157
00:13:03,620 --> 00:13:06,220
It was our area.
Our own neighborhood.
158
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:19,940
The police hated us. And
we hated them right back.
159
00:13:20,610 --> 00:13:23,300
They would come in and attack
us and beat us just for fun.
160
00:13:23,380 --> 00:13:24,780
But that wouldn't stop us.
161
00:13:24,850 --> 00:13:29,010
I made a list of shops that were
friendly to us and shops that weren't.
162
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,310
Those shops that
worked with us thrived.
163
00:13:31,390 --> 00:13:33,680
Those that didn't,
went out of business.
164
00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:34,950
Closed their doors.
165
00:13:38,630 --> 00:13:40,650
Excuse me,
ladies and gentlemen.
166
00:13:40,730 --> 00:13:43,960
Mr. McConnely, I just came by
to see how business was doing.
167
00:13:44,030 --> 00:13:45,360
Just fine, Harvey.
168
00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:47,920
You don't mind having all
these homosexuals in here?
169
00:13:49,140 --> 00:13:51,570
Kidding, everybody. He
loves our kind. Spend away.
170
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:52,970
Tell your wife I said hello.
171
00:13:54,540 --> 00:13:57,940
But people started
hanging around our store.
172
00:13:58,010 --> 00:14:00,950
Not customers.
Activists, kids,
173
00:14:01,820 --> 00:14:04,750
young people who were looking
for a home away from home.
174
00:14:26,070 --> 00:14:27,300
There was Danny Nicoletta,
175
00:14:27,380 --> 00:14:30,970
cute art student that I picked up
at Toad Hall, who worked in the shop.
176
00:14:31,050 --> 00:14:33,810
Harvey, come on.
Opera is so passé.
177
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,280
You're not understanding
the spectacle of it,
178
00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:36,780
the bigger
than life emotions.
179
00:14:36,850 --> 00:14:38,750
The bigger
than life emotions?
180
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,980
Jim Rivaldo, a great mind.
181
00:14:46,060 --> 00:14:51,230
Harvard graduate, which nobody cared
about in those days in the Castro.
182
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:52,560
Including himself.
183
00:14:52,630 --> 00:14:55,500
And somewhere along the
line, Jim picked up a protégé,
184
00:14:55,570 --> 00:14:58,370
a cute political kid from
Wisconsin, Dick Pabich.
185
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,840
And of course,
there was Dennis Peron,
186
00:15:00,910 --> 00:15:04,500
who ran a very successful
business with the young kids.
187
00:15:04,580 --> 00:15:07,810
And it wasn't only the gays
who noticed what was happening.
188
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,840
Also the straight people.
189
00:15:10,850 --> 00:15:13,080
There were some
very unexpected ones.
190
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,280
Teamster leader Allan Baird
walked right into my shop
191
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,390
and asked me if I could get my
people to help boycott Coors beer.
192
00:15:21,460 --> 00:15:24,060
And the Coors beer boycott
had not been too successful.
193
00:15:24,130 --> 00:15:28,330
But I got my people to get all the
Coors beer out of all the gay bars,
194
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,890
and immediately Coors fell
from number one and they caved.
195
00:15:32,740 --> 00:15:36,010
A week later, the Teamsters
union, for the very first time,
196
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,910
hired openly gay drivers.
197
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:40,140
We weren't just a bunch
of pansies anymore.
198
00:15:40,210 --> 00:15:42,550
We had had our
first taste of power.
199
00:15:42,620 --> 00:15:46,080
And it was about that time
that someone first called me
200
00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:50,990
the Mayor of Castro Street, or I
may have invented the term myself.
201
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:56,720
The fucking cops, man.
202
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,230
Cops are pulling
people out of Toad Hall.
203
00:15:58,300 --> 00:15:59,230
Why?
What did they do?
204
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:01,030
They're sweeping the streets.
It's happening right now.
205
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:02,470
Come on.
Come on.
206
00:16:27,730 --> 00:16:30,320
Through the door there,
the front door there,
207
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:35,060
was just an explosion
of police charging in here.
208
00:16:35,140 --> 00:16:38,330
I ran into the bathroom to
hide with some other people.
209
00:16:39,170 --> 00:16:44,580
All we could hear was screaming
and crunching and smashing.
210
00:16:44,650 --> 00:16:49,550
It was frankly the most terrifying
experience I've had in my life.
211
00:16:57,490 --> 00:16:59,020
If we had
someone in government
212
00:16:59,090 --> 00:17:02,030
who saw things the
way that we see them,
213
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:06,660
like the black community has black
leaders that look out for their interests.
214
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,540
Politics is theater.
215
00:17:16,610 --> 00:17:17,800
It doesn't matter
so much about winning.
216
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:18,900
You make a statement.
217
00:17:18,980 --> 00:17:22,610
You say, "I'm here. ' '
You get their attention.
218
00:17:24,420 --> 00:17:25,940
I mean, it'll be fun.
219
00:17:30,930 --> 00:17:35,990
Even though the Castro was firmly our
area by 1973, it wasn't safe for us.
220
00:17:36,060 --> 00:17:40,000
We would have to wear whistles
on our necks or in our pockets.
221
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:42,760
And if you ever heard a
whistle, you would run to help.
222
00:17:43,540 --> 00:17:47,270
Fruit was walking home with
his trick when he got jumped.
223
00:17:47,340 --> 00:17:49,900
Name's Robert Hillsborough.
Did you know him?
224
00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:53,610
He used to come into my
shop. Are there any witnesses?
225
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,980
Yeah, just
the trick, Jerry Taylor.
226
00:17:56,050 --> 00:17:58,580
Jerry's not his
trick, he's his lover.
227
00:17:58,650 --> 00:18:00,020
Hey,
call it what you will.
228
00:18:00,090 --> 00:18:03,550
All we know is he's our only witness and
he said he can't identify the attackers.
229
00:18:03,620 --> 00:18:05,990
Oh, you'd have a dozen witnesses
if they thought you boys had any
230
00:18:06,060 --> 00:18:08,090
real interest
in protecting them.
231
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:27,040
SCO TT ON PA/ Hey, come on. Come
over. Everyone gather around.
232
00:18:27,110 --> 00:18:28,880
Hey, Milk,
good job on Coors.
233
00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:32,210
Thank you and we were very happy to
do that. We were very happy to do that.
234
00:18:32,290 --> 00:18:34,310
Everyone over here,
gather around.
235
00:18:39,390 --> 00:18:42,560
Hello. I'm Harvey Milk.
236
00:18:45,930 --> 00:18:47,420
A week ago,
237
00:18:48,970 --> 00:18:53,100
police officers came into
our area with badges covered.
238
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,670
They sent 14 of our people
to hospitals and to jail.
239
00:18:59,750 --> 00:19:03,310
The charges,
"Blocking the sidewalk. "
240
00:19:05,490 --> 00:19:10,120
Let's let our tax money go to our
protection, not our persecution.
241
00:19:10,860 --> 00:19:14,320
Worry about gun control,
not marijuana control.
242
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,090
School supplies, seniors,
not the books we read!
243
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,230
My fellow degenerates,
244
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:32,080
I would like to announce my candidacy
for San Francisco City Supervisor!
245
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:38,640
How are you, Lee?
Fine, thank you.
246
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,710
Oh, I bought you some flowers
to brighten up your day.
247
00:19:40,790 --> 00:19:43,260
Could I leave some
flyers for your customers?
248
00:19:44,060 --> 00:19:45,220
Hello, everyone.
249
00:19:45,290 --> 00:19:46,820
Harvey Milk,
running for supervisor.
250
00:19:46,890 --> 00:19:48,380
We need your support.
251
00:19:48,460 --> 00:19:50,430
Are you registered
to vote?
252
00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:52,730
Let me just give you that. It's for
Harvey Milk for supervisor, all right?
253
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,270
He's running for the Board of
Supervisors. Right. Thank you.
254
00:19:55,340 --> 00:19:56,500
Take care.
Have a good day.
255
00:19:56,570 --> 00:20:01,270
Harvey Milk for supervisor! Excuse
me, ma'am, are you registered to vote?
256
00:20:01,340 --> 00:20:02,930
Sir, are you
registered to vote?
257
00:20:03,010 --> 00:20:05,480
I'm Harvey Milk, sir.
I'm running for supervisor.
258
00:20:05,550 --> 00:20:08,070
I want you to know that my
campaign is very interested
259
00:20:08,150 --> 00:20:09,840
in taking care of
seniors in the area.
260
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,440
We've been doing
a lot about reaching out.
261
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,180
I'm Harvey Milk. Will you register
here if you're not registered?
262
00:20:15,790 --> 00:20:20,490
Hey, I like the way those pants
fit! Where are you from, kid?
263
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,830
Sorry, old man,
not interested.
264
00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:24,960
Where's home?
265
00:20:25,030 --> 00:20:26,590
Phoenix.
266
00:20:26,670 --> 00:20:29,260
Come here.
Just come here a minute.
267
00:20:32,110 --> 00:20:34,940
I'm Harvey Milk. I'm
running for supervisor.
268
00:20:35,010 --> 00:20:36,140
What's your name?
269
00:20:36,210 --> 00:20:38,080
Cleve Jones.
270
00:20:38,150 --> 00:20:40,380
Cleve Jones.
You're adorable.
271
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,410
We should get you over here and
get you registered, Mr. Jones.
272
00:20:45,690 --> 00:20:47,380
Fuck that.
Elections of any kind
273
00:20:47,450 --> 00:20:49,550
are fucking
bourgeois affectation.
274
00:20:49,620 --> 00:20:51,280
Is that right?
Mmm-hmm.
275
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:53,660
What do you do,
trick up on Polk Street?
276
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,790
If I need the cash.
277
00:20:58,870 --> 00:21:01,330
But I'm a little bit more selective
about my clients than you are.
278
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,170
Okay, let me ask you one thing
before you go back to work.
279
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,330
What was it like to be
a little queer in Phoenix?
280
00:21:06,410 --> 00:21:08,900
Did all the jocks beat
you up in gym class?
281
00:21:12,650 --> 00:21:15,380
I faked a lung disease
to get out of P.E.
282
00:21:15,450 --> 00:21:18,080
So what, what are you?
Some kind of street shrink?
283
00:21:18,150 --> 00:21:19,590
Sometimes.
284
00:21:19,650 --> 00:21:22,780
But what I'm talking about
is that we can change Phoenix.
285
00:21:23,260 --> 00:21:25,450
But we have to
start with our street.
286
00:21:27,130 --> 00:21:32,220
Police abuse, rent control,
pot, parks, seniors issues.
287
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:34,200
Good luck
with all that.
288
00:21:34,740 --> 00:21:35,860
Good luck.
289
00:21:37,670 --> 00:21:39,540
You know what I think,
Cleve Jones?
290
00:21:39,610 --> 00:21:41,440
That you're gonna get
somewhere if you keep talking.
291
00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:43,740
No. I think you should
do what you do well.
292
00:21:43,810 --> 00:21:45,340
You should
be a prick.
293
00:21:45,410 --> 00:21:49,510
But come with us and be a prick.
Fight City Hall. Fight the cops.
294
00:21:49,580 --> 00:21:52,110
Fight the people that made you
come here to do what you do.
295
00:21:52,190 --> 00:21:55,050
Sorry, old man, I'm leaving
for Spain tomorrow. Europe.
296
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:57,520
All the cash I need
is in my back pocket.
297
00:22:06,570 --> 00:22:09,700
I'm just saying that at this point,
it looks like all the big guns,
298
00:22:09,770 --> 00:22:11,330
all the gay money,
the real money,
299
00:22:11,410 --> 00:22:12,770
is gonna get
behind Feinstein
300
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,360
and all the straight candidates
they consider "gay-friendly. ' '
301
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,270
Who cares about
those old queens?
302
00:22:16,340 --> 00:22:17,470
Well, you need
them to get elected.
303
00:22:17,540 --> 00:22:20,340
Why isn't my campaign
manager leading this meeting?
304
00:22:20,410 --> 00:22:23,040
'Cause I'm exhausted. I've been
handing out pamphlets for seven hours.
305
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:24,380
Yeah, in a bathhouse.
306
00:22:24,450 --> 00:22:26,350
And who are these so-called
gay leaders anyway?
307
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:28,950
Who appointed them?
What are you suggesting, Jim?
308
00:22:29,020 --> 00:22:31,220
That I go down there and
solicit their endorsement?
309
00:22:31,290 --> 00:22:34,420
I mean, we're down here trying to help
people on the streets. Where are they?
310
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:36,690
Yeah, I know, but... You
need an endorsement, Harvey.
311
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,030
Take this.
312
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:39,400
Checking the exposure.
313
00:22:39,470 --> 00:22:41,430
They're nice pictures.
314
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:43,400
Is he your boyfriend?
Sort of.
315
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,240
Harvey, David Goodstein is a
publisher from The Advocate.
316
00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:47,710
Harvey.
He's got a house...
317
00:22:47,780 --> 00:22:51,970
Harvey, I think
you got to see this.
318
00:22:55,850 --> 00:22:58,280
"Harvey Milk will
have a dream journey
319
00:22:58,350 --> 00:23:01,410
"and nightmare to hell,
a night of horror.
320
00:23:01,490 --> 00:23:06,590
"You will be stabbed and have your
genitals, cock, balls and prick cut off. ' '
321
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,020
I'm calling the police.
322
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:12,760
They probably wrote it.
Look, think of it this way.
323
00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:14,770
If they try to kill me,
I'll get the sympathy vote.
324
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,170
That might be
just the push we need.
325
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,930
You think this is funny?
Look at it.
326
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:23,910
It's a total joke.
327
00:23:23,980 --> 00:23:27,070
I mean, it's got no rhythm,
no humor. It's insulting.
328
00:23:30,820 --> 00:23:31,840
Don't do that.
329
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,550
No, if you put it away,
you put it in a drawer,
330
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:35,590
it just gets
bigger and scarier.
331
00:23:35,660 --> 00:23:38,560
Here, it's right here. We see
it every day. It can't get us.
332
00:23:40,390 --> 00:23:43,330
Gonna spend all this energy
to make yourself a target?
333
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,190
For something you're
not gonna even win?
334
00:23:45,270 --> 00:23:48,360
I keep telling you, it's
not just about winning.
335
00:23:49,670 --> 00:23:52,660
HARVEY/ The top gays in San
Francisco were David Goodstein
336
00:23:52,740 --> 00:23:55,300
and his civil rights lawyer
sidekick, Rick Stokes.
337
00:23:55,380 --> 00:23:58,540
David was a rich old queen who had bought
the biggest gay magazine, The Advocate.
338
00:23:58,610 --> 00:24:01,310
Hello. Hello, welcome
to Mr. Goodstein's.
339
00:24:01,380 --> 00:24:02,470
Milo.
340
00:24:04,220 --> 00:24:06,620
I worked for a financial
institution in New York.
341
00:24:06,690 --> 00:24:08,210
I was very discreet.
342
00:24:08,290 --> 00:24:10,350
One night I went to
the Metropolitan Opera,
343
00:24:10,420 --> 00:24:12,390
II Trovatore, Verdi.
344
00:24:12,460 --> 00:24:14,830
I was sitting in a
box, next to my lover.
345
00:24:15,630 --> 00:24:18,390
Someone spotted us.
Next day I was fired.
346
00:24:19,730 --> 00:24:21,560
So I decided to do
something about it.
347
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,500
Came out here to San Francisco,
I bought The Advocate.
348
00:24:24,940 --> 00:24:29,810
I use my money and my influence, in very
subtle and quiet ways, to do what I can.
349
00:24:30,610 --> 00:24:32,370
So you think that backing
straight candidates
350
00:24:32,450 --> 00:24:33,640
is the best
way to help us?
351
00:24:33,710 --> 00:24:35,680
Yeah, if they're
friendly to our cause.
352
00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:37,680
Supervisor is
a citywide office.
353
00:24:37,750 --> 00:24:39,480
Political alliances
have to be built.
354
00:24:39,550 --> 00:24:43,680
You can't just move here from across
the country and run for that office.
355
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,220
But I am running for office.
356
00:24:45,290 --> 00:24:46,590
I'm on the ballot.
357
00:24:46,660 --> 00:24:48,790
I have the union rank and
file, I have the seniors.
358
00:24:48,860 --> 00:24:51,660
And I would like to have
your magazine's endorsement.
359
00:24:53,170 --> 00:24:56,100
Harvey, we're like
the Catholic church.
360
00:24:56,170 --> 00:24:59,700
We welcome converts, but we
don't make them Pope the same day.
361
00:24:59,770 --> 00:25:01,870
Why haven't
you run yet?
362
00:25:01,940 --> 00:25:04,910
Too early.
Especially from the Castro.
363
00:25:06,380 --> 00:25:07,810
What's wrong
with the Castro?
364
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,820
Nobody works there. It's all
about sex and drugs and more sex.
365
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,180
David, we need one
of our own in office.
366
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,160
Harvey, you can't demand
acceptance overnight.
367
00:25:19,230 --> 00:25:20,350
Why not?
368
00:25:20,430 --> 00:25:23,120
The more "out" you make us,
the more you incite them.
369
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,100
Harvey, step back and quiet down.
370
00:25:26,170 --> 00:25:28,330
You're suggesting we should
go back in the closet?
371
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,800
Is that what
you're saying?
372
00:25:29,870 --> 00:25:32,840
I spent more years in the
closet than I care to remember.
373
00:25:32,910 --> 00:25:34,530
Let's go, Scott.
Yeah.
374
00:25:34,610 --> 00:25:36,040
I don't need your
magazine's endorsement.
375
00:25:36,110 --> 00:25:39,200
And I'm not asking for anyone's
acceptance. I don't have time.
376
00:25:39,780 --> 00:25:42,810
For you,
politics is a game, a lark.
377
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,720
It's like putting on a rock
festival or staging a love-in.
378
00:25:45,790 --> 00:25:47,880
You're too old to be
a hippie, Harvey Milk.
379
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,890
I am not a candidate.
I am part of a movement.
380
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,980
The movement is the candidate.
There is a difference.
381
00:25:54,060 --> 00:25:56,000
You don't see it,
but I do.
382
00:25:58,130 --> 00:26:00,220
Sorry, I, uh,
pissed in the pool.
383
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:07,000
So, on election day, out of 32
candidates vying for six seats,
384
00:26:07,070 --> 00:26:10,370
we came in tenth.
We lost.
385
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:17,250
But only a few votes shy of my becoming
the first big eared, cock-sucking,
386
00:26:18,350 --> 00:26:21,250
queer as a
three-dollar-bill-man
387
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,350
to be elected
to public office.
388
00:26:24,490 --> 00:26:27,620
So we decided to
try it again in 1975.
389
00:26:29,430 --> 00:26:31,490
Only this time,
with a few adjustments.
390
00:26:33,570 --> 00:26:37,590
No. No, not cute. I hate the shoes.
391
00:26:37,670 --> 00:26:39,500
I hate the hair.
You're not fooling anybody.
392
00:26:39,570 --> 00:26:41,840
I'm not gonna let those
little Pacific Heights biddies
393
00:26:41,910 --> 00:26:44,710
write me off anymore because
of a ponytail. I like it.
394
00:26:44,780 --> 00:26:49,340
No more bathhouses, no more
pot, for me and my little poo.
395
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,650
Speak for yourself.
Come on.
396
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:59,890
We ran and lost the supervisor's
race for the second time in 1975,
397
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:02,950
but with more votes than ever before.
398
00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:08,900
So in 1976,
against everyone's advice,
399
00:27:08,970 --> 00:27:12,170
I really pissed off
the political power houses
400
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,300
in the Democratic party by
running against their man,
401
00:27:15,380 --> 00:27:18,970
Art Agnos, who was part
of their political machine.
402
00:27:19,050 --> 00:27:22,110
And this time, not for
supervisor, but for a bigger job,
403
00:27:22,180 --> 00:27:23,980
for the California
State Assembly.
404
00:27:24,050 --> 00:27:27,320
I don't think that State Assembly
seats should be the reward
405
00:27:27,390 --> 00:27:29,250
for service to the
Democratic party machine.
406
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,920
Machines run on oil and
grease. They're dirty.
407
00:27:32,460 --> 00:27:36,450
They're dehumanizing. And they
tend to be entirely unresponsive
408
00:27:36,530 --> 00:27:39,560
to the needs of anybody,
but those of their operator.
409
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,630
Mr. Milk, I've been a social
worker in this city for years.
410
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:45,500
I know Sacramento.
411
00:27:45,570 --> 00:27:48,040
I know how to get done
what we all need done there.
412
00:27:48,110 --> 00:27:51,810
Tell me something, Mr. Agnos,
right here in the Castro,
413
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,650
Robert Hillsbourough was murdered for
walking home with his longtime partner.
414
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,580
He was stabbed 15 times.
415
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:04,120
The last words he heard were,
"Faggot, faggot, faggot. ' '
416
00:28:04,190 --> 00:28:07,890
Now, you say
you're outraged.
417
00:28:09,330 --> 00:28:14,460
Why then does your liberal
establishment refuse to answer our calls?
418
00:28:14,530 --> 00:28:17,260
Why do they not bring
these murderers to justice?
419
00:28:21,070 --> 00:28:22,940
My God, you're handsome up close.
420
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,940
Can't tell you how much I'm
looking forward to licking you,
421
00:28:27,010 --> 00:28:28,280
in the polls.
422
00:28:29,450 --> 00:28:32,250
You know, Harv, your
whole rap's a real downer.
423
00:28:33,290 --> 00:28:35,550
You talk a lot about
what you're against.
424
00:28:35,620 --> 00:28:37,210
But what are you for?
425
00:28:37,290 --> 00:28:41,660
In this town, you got to give them a
reason for optimism, or you're cooked.
426
00:28:45,730 --> 00:28:47,600
See you around.
427
00:28:47,670 --> 00:28:48,600
Okay, Art.
428
00:28:49,270 --> 00:28:51,100
You're gonna wanna
read that entire thing.
429
00:28:51,170 --> 00:28:52,500
Okay,
I'll take a look at it.
430
00:28:52,570 --> 00:28:53,940
Excuse me.
431
00:28:54,010 --> 00:28:55,980
Guys.
Don't touch that.
432
00:28:56,610 --> 00:28:59,670
Harvey. Harvey, dinner. Have
to get some union boys in there.
433
00:28:59,750 --> 00:29:02,180
They love me,
they love me.
434
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,850
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
435
00:29:09,420 --> 00:29:11,520
Harvey, you have to eat.
436
00:29:11,590 --> 00:29:14,650
Everyone, the apartment
is now off limits!
437
00:29:14,730 --> 00:29:16,560
Good night.
Good night.
438
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,730
Good night.
Whose jacket is this?
439
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,630
Right here.
Here you go. Good night.
440
00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:24,500
Down the stairs.
Thank you. Thank you.
441
00:29:26,270 --> 00:29:27,670
Good night. Thank you.
442
00:29:27,740 --> 00:29:29,440
I think you got to call the guy,
'cause I can't talk to that guy.
443
00:29:29,510 --> 00:29:31,070
Sit.
444
00:29:32,380 --> 00:29:34,780
Don't say anything.
445
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,320
Can I just tell you...
446
00:29:47,390 --> 00:29:50,560
If you say anything about
politics or the campaign,
447
00:29:50,630 --> 00:29:52,830
or what speech you
have to give or anything,
448
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:55,460
I swear to God I'm gonna
stab you with this fork.
449
00:29:56,540 --> 00:30:02,530
I just wanted to say that this is the
most wonderful dinner I have ever had.
450
00:30:07,310 --> 00:30:11,250
If we lose this, it'll
just be you and me again.
451
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,180
I promise.
452
00:30:13,250 --> 00:30:14,980
I'm sorry, I just...
453
00:30:15,060 --> 00:30:19,190
No, I know.
I know, I know.
454
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:23,980
Phoenix.
455
00:31:24,660 --> 00:31:26,490
At least now
you look gay.
456
00:31:33,870 --> 00:31:35,490
Let's go inside.
457
00:31:46,610 --> 00:31:48,710
Are you
staying up with me?
458
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,950
The election's tomorrow.
I won't sleep anyway.
459
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:03,860
Was he handsome?
460
00:32:03,930 --> 00:32:07,130
Oh, no!
He was hideous.
461
00:32:09,540 --> 00:32:13,910
Usually when my lovers leave, they
cheat with even more attractive men.
462
00:32:18,750 --> 00:32:23,810
I actually thought we were gonna
spend the rest of our lives together.
463
00:32:30,220 --> 00:32:32,160
Well, guess what, Cleve Jones.
464
00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:34,690
What?
465
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,890
You're going to meet the
most extraordinary men,
466
00:32:38,970 --> 00:32:42,230
the sexiest, funniest, brightest men.
467
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:44,830
You're going to meet so many of them,
fall in love with so many of them,
468
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:46,460
you won't know till
the end of your life
469
00:32:46,540 --> 00:32:50,070
which ones were your greatest lovers
and which were your greatest friends.
470
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,080
Is that supposed to help?
471
00:32:53,710 --> 00:32:56,480
Maybe a little. Or not.
472
00:33:06,430 --> 00:33:09,260
I went to
Spain last month.
473
00:33:09,330 --> 00:33:10,660
Long story.
474
00:33:14,730 --> 00:33:17,600
In Barcelona, there
was this memorial march
475
00:33:17,670 --> 00:33:20,270
for gay people that
had died under Franco.
476
00:33:21,740 --> 00:33:24,070
Of course, the police
tried to break it up.
477
00:33:24,140 --> 00:33:26,200
But these queens didn't run.
No.
478
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,720
They turned around and
they started a fucking riot.
479
00:33:29,780 --> 00:33:32,620
I saw a bullet, one of
those big rubber bullets
480
00:33:32,690 --> 00:33:36,780
rip through a drag queen's
scalp, but she kept on fighting.
481
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,380
She was screaming,
but she kept on fighting.
482
00:33:41,590 --> 00:33:42,580
I mean...
483
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,130
Our lives.
484
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,000
There was blood literally
running in the gutter.
485
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,570
In a gutter.
486
00:33:59,410 --> 00:34:02,110
We could have
a revolution here.
487
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,780
But you can't use the
Castro just to cruise.
488
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:10,280
You have to fight.
489
00:34:13,530 --> 00:34:15,120
You really think you'll win?
490
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,290
Winning is
not my strong suit.
491
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,760
Well,
492
00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:24,770
I don't do losing, ever.
493
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,140
Maybe I should run for office
and you can work for me.
494
00:34:28,210 --> 00:34:30,370
I mean, if you can do it...
495
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,600
Can you assemble a
thousand people in an hour?
496
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:33,810
Fuck, yeah.
497
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,410
Well, if I run again,
you're gonna be my man.
498
00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:38,740
Lf?
499
00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:41,380
You're so adorable.
500
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,520
The polls are open in 3 hours.
501
00:34:46,460 --> 00:34:48,720
How about you and
I hit the bus stops?
502
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:51,590
Okay.
503
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:58,300
Yes, Jesus
504
00:34:59,110 --> 00:35:01,470
Loves me
505
00:35:01,540 --> 00:35:04,910
Anita Bryant was once
known as an orange juice saleswoman.
506
00:35:04,980 --> 00:35:08,570
Hi, I'm Anita Bryant.
507
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,610
Hello, I'm Anita Bryant.
508
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,080
With a religious fervor
that has made her America's most
509
00:35:13,150 --> 00:35:14,950
controversial woman overnight,
510
00:35:15,020 --> 00:35:18,220
her group is crusading to
repeal a new Dade County law,
511
00:35:18,290 --> 00:35:21,020
which protects homosexuals
in jobs and housing.
512
00:35:21,090 --> 00:35:25,860
I believe that more than ever
before, that there are evil forces
513
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,470
round about us,
514
00:35:31,740 --> 00:35:34,470
even perhaps disguised
as something good,
515
00:35:36,580 --> 00:35:39,140
that would
want to tear down
516
00:35:39,210 --> 00:35:43,810
the very foundation, the family
unit, that holds America together.
517
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,680
There are those people
who say that it is
518
00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:48,150
kind of an eye for an eye
law that is at work here,
519
00:35:48,220 --> 00:35:50,750
that you're denying homosexuals
many of their rights as well.
520
00:35:50,820 --> 00:35:53,820
You see, if homosexuals are
allowed their civil rights,
521
00:35:53,890 --> 00:35:56,760
then so would prostitutes
or thieves or anyone else.
522
00:35:56,830 --> 00:35:59,090
God puts it in
a category of morality.
523
00:35:59,170 --> 00:36:01,330
Doesn't that necessarily
follow that you believe that
524
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,060
homosexuality
ought to be illegal?
525
00:36:03,140 --> 00:36:05,600
ANITA/ I do believe that
it should be illegal.
526
00:36:05,670 --> 00:36:08,070
Well, we lost, but
we didn't lose by much.
527
00:36:08,810 --> 00:36:11,170
More votes than ever!
528
00:36:14,210 --> 00:36:16,050
That used to
make you laugh.
529
00:36:18,690 --> 00:36:20,810
Harvey, I got to
show you something.
530
00:36:22,290 --> 00:36:23,760
This is incredible.
531
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,990
If we can get that new initiative
on district elections to go through,
532
00:36:31,060 --> 00:36:33,530
and we can, we can,
533
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,440
the boundary for the
new supervisor district
534
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,230
is gonna go right
down Market Street,
535
00:36:44,380 --> 00:36:48,310
right around the
Haight like this,
536
00:36:51,180 --> 00:36:54,750
and right around
the Castro.
537
00:36:57,690 --> 00:37:00,250
The Haight and the Castro.
That's it.
538
00:37:01,290 --> 00:37:05,820
If these are the only people we have
to convince, the hippies and the gays,
539
00:37:06,770 --> 00:37:09,290
you win, you win.
540
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,600
You win by a landslide.
541
00:37:16,580 --> 00:37:22,010
You'll be the first openly gay man
elected to major office in the U.S.
542
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:29,180
I don't know if I
have another one in me.
543
00:37:29,260 --> 00:37:30,810
Or Scotty.
544
00:37:33,930 --> 00:37:35,120
Yeah, well.
545
00:37:47,540 --> 00:37:51,100
Relentless man.
Oh, you're a relentless man.
546
00:37:57,580 --> 00:38:01,710
This is the CBS
Evening News with Walter Cronkite.
547
00:38:01,790 --> 00:38:05,450
The battle over homosexual
rights in Dade County, Florida.
548
00:38:05,530 --> 00:38:07,390
The battle pitting
singer Anita Bryant
549
00:38:07,460 --> 00:38:11,160
against gay rights activist
comes to a vote there Tuesday.
550
00:38:11,230 --> 00:38:14,630
The issue was whether or not to
repeal a four-month-old ordinance,
551
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:18,730
which prohibits job and housing
discrimination against homosexuals.
552
00:38:18,810 --> 00:38:20,270
In
anticipation of the vote,
553
00:38:20,340 --> 00:38:22,330
the gay community
has staged protests
554
00:38:22,410 --> 00:38:25,780
in New York and other major
cities across the country.
555
00:38:25,850 --> 00:38:29,610
The vote is
going now 18,930 for repeal.
556
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,410
Oh, give me
a fucking break.
557
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,480
Eighty eight hundred
sixty nine against repeal.
558
00:38:33,550 --> 00:38:36,720
Virgil, is that enough for
you to make a projection?
559
00:38:36,790 --> 00:38:42,420
Yes, I think very definitely that
the ordinance is going to be repealed.
560
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:44,690
With this margin, it's over.
561
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,460
Tonight, the laws of God
562
00:38:48,530 --> 00:38:52,630
and the cultural values
of man have been vindicated.
563
00:38:52,710 --> 00:38:56,370
The people of Dade County,
the normal majority,
564
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:01,310
have said,
"Enough, enough, enough. "
565
00:39:01,380 --> 00:39:04,540
Singer Anita
Bryant's well publicized...
566
00:39:12,060 --> 00:39:13,460
Scotty?
567
00:39:13,530 --> 00:39:15,960
I'm sorry, sir, I read
about you in the paper.
568
00:39:16,030 --> 00:39:18,500
I'm sorry.
I can't talk right now.
569
00:39:19,070 --> 00:39:20,620
Sir, I think I'm
gonna kill myself.
570
00:39:22,940 --> 00:39:24,990
No. You don't
want to do that.
571
00:39:25,910 --> 00:39:27,740
Where are you calling from?
572
00:39:27,810 --> 00:39:29,100
Minnesota.
573
00:39:31,010 --> 00:39:33,770
You saw my picture in
the paper in Minnesota?
574
00:39:33,850 --> 00:39:34,870
How did I look?
575
00:39:34,950 --> 00:39:40,580
My folks are gonna take me to this
place tomorrow. A hospital. To fix me.
576
00:39:43,190 --> 00:39:45,560
There's nothing wrong
with you. Listen to me.
577
00:39:45,630 --> 00:39:48,360
You just get on a bus to
the nearest biggest city.
578
00:39:48,430 --> 00:39:51,300
Los Angeles or New
York or San Francisco,
579
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,830
it doesn't matter,
you just leave.
580
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:55,370
And you are not sick,
581
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,270
and you are not wrong
and God does not hate you.
582
00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,700
Just leave.
583
00:40:02,140 --> 00:40:05,110
I can't.
I can't walk, sir.
584
00:40:05,180 --> 00:40:07,240
Paul, I need
you to come out here.
585
00:40:07,310 --> 00:40:08,370
Hello?
586
00:40:08,450 --> 00:40:10,440
Harvey!
587
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:11,570
Hello?
588
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,440
Oh, shit.
589
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,650
Harvey, you better come down,
there's going to be a riot.
590
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,960
Harvey, you should get to the stage.
591
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,730
Bring him the stage, guys.
592
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,570
If you can't control
them, we will.
593
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,040
Just get me permission
to march them.
594
00:40:41,110 --> 00:40:42,510
Where?
595
00:40:42,580 --> 00:40:43,670
Anywhere.
596
00:40:57,930 --> 00:40:59,900
Out of the bar
and into the streets!
597
00:40:59,970 --> 00:41:02,300
Anita Bryant's
coming for you!
598
00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:05,600
Out of the bar
and into the streets!
599
00:41:05,670 --> 00:41:07,970
Anita Bryant's
coming for you!
600
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:27,930
We have vowed
to fight back!
601
00:41:35,900 --> 00:41:38,000
I know you are angry.
602
00:41:42,510 --> 00:41:44,340
I am angry!
603
00:41:46,380 --> 00:41:52,720
Let's march the streets of San
Francisco and share our anger!
604
00:42:00,890 --> 00:42:02,760
Gay rights now!
605
00:42:02,830 --> 00:42:06,090
Gay rights now!
Gay rights now!
606
00:42:06,170 --> 00:42:10,800
Gay rights now! Gay
rights now! Gay rights now!
607
00:42:10,870 --> 00:42:13,670
Gay rights now!
Gay rights now!
608
00:42:13,740 --> 00:42:15,300
Gay rights now!
609
00:42:15,370 --> 00:42:16,840
Gay rights now!
610
00:42:16,910 --> 00:42:17,930
Gay rights now!
Gay rights now!
611
00:42:18,010 --> 00:42:27,610
Gay rights now!
Gay rights now!
612
00:42:28,020 --> 00:42:34,190
Gay rights now!
Gay rights now!
613
00:42:49,310 --> 00:42:51,870
My name is Harvey Milk
and I want to recruit you.
614
00:42:55,180 --> 00:42:57,380
I am here tonight to say
615
00:42:58,350 --> 00:43:02,690
that we will no longer
sit quietly in the closet.
616
00:43:03,890 --> 00:43:05,950
We must fight.
617
00:43:06,030 --> 00:43:08,690
And not only
in the Castro,
618
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,990
not only in
San Francisco,
619
00:43:12,060 --> 00:43:14,690
but everywhere
the Anitas go.
620
00:43:16,340 --> 00:43:18,930
Anita Bryant
did not win tonight.
621
00:43:19,370 --> 00:43:22,810
Anita Bryant
brought us together!
622
00:43:25,510 --> 00:43:31,710
She is going to create
a national gay force!
623
00:43:36,660 --> 00:43:41,820
And the young people
in Jackson, Mississippi,
624
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,720
in Minnesota,
in the Richmond,
625
00:43:47,830 --> 00:43:49,430
in Woodmere, New York,
626
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:55,360
who are hearing
her on television,
627
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,340
hearing Anita Bryant
on television,
628
00:43:59,410 --> 00:44:03,710
telling them they are
sick, they are wrong,
629
00:44:04,350 --> 00:44:08,910
there is no place in this
great country for them,
630
00:44:08,990 --> 00:44:11,550
no place in this world,
631
00:44:11,620 --> 00:44:15,120
they are looking to us
for something tonight.
632
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,590
And I say
633
00:44:18,660 --> 00:44:21,930
we have got to
give them hope!
634
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,030
Hope!
635
00:44:26,270 --> 00:44:29,970
...for a better world.
Hope for a better tomorrow.
636
00:44:30,780 --> 00:44:34,080
Hope for a better place to come into
if the pressures at home are too great.
637
00:44:34,150 --> 00:44:37,980
Hope for the worker who
awakens from the American dream
638
00:44:38,050 --> 00:44:40,880
only to find that all the
jobs have left the country.
639
00:44:40,950 --> 00:44:42,940
We've got to
give them hope.
640
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,290
When San Francisco
changed its voting rules,
641
00:44:59,370 --> 00:45:02,340
so that people could elect people
from their own neighborhood,
642
00:45:02,410 --> 00:45:06,500
so that the blacks could elect
a African-American supervisor,
643
00:45:06,580 --> 00:45:09,610
and in Chinatown, they could
elect a Chinese supervisor,
644
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,740
and in the Castro, they could choose
between myself and Rick Stokes.
645
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,220
But decent art
begs balance, right?
646
00:45:16,290 --> 00:45:19,690
So, little district eight,
two miles south of the Castro,
647
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,860
still very much the same.
Irish Catholic, conservative.
648
00:45:23,930 --> 00:45:26,190
And with just the
right amount of poetry,
649
00:45:26,270 --> 00:45:29,060
they found themselves
a handsome ex-cop.
650
00:45:29,470 --> 00:45:32,030
See, I'm not going to be
forced out of San Francisco
651
00:45:32,100 --> 00:45:37,240
by splinter groups of social radicals,
social deviants, and incorrigibles.
652
00:45:37,310 --> 00:45:41,210
Now you must realize that there are
thousands upon thousands of frustrated,
653
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,940
angry people,
such as yourselves,
654
00:45:44,020 --> 00:45:47,210
just waiting to unleash
a fury that will eradicate
655
00:45:47,290 --> 00:45:50,220
the malignancies that
blight our beautiful city.
656
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,000
Just one more. We can't let
Rick Stokes take this one.
657
00:45:57,060 --> 00:45:58,890
Let Rick Stokes
take it.
658
00:46:06,410 --> 00:46:07,700
Sorry.
659
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,580
I can't do another one.
660
00:46:56,860 --> 00:47:00,590
Oh, God damn it.
661
00:47:22,550 --> 00:47:24,520
Bring out the old,
bring in the new.
662
00:47:24,580 --> 00:47:26,850
This is over. Done.
663
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,850
I don't want to see one more thing
that says fucking Assembly on it.
664
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:34,990
'Cause this three time faggot
loser is running for supervisor.
665
00:47:35,060 --> 00:47:37,120
There she is.
Who the heck is that?
666
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,220
That's our
new campaign manager.
667
00:47:39,300 --> 00:47:42,360
She called last week to volunteer
and I asked for her help.
668
00:47:42,430 --> 00:47:45,160
Help or take over?
What about Scott?
669
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:46,730
We need new blood.
670
00:47:46,810 --> 00:47:50,610
Gentlemen, Anne Kronenberg.
A woman.
671
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,200
A woman who likes women.
And that's odd, isn't it?
672
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,840
Hi, guys.
673
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,580
Mr. Milk, Rick Stokes isn't pulling out.
674
00:47:59,650 --> 00:48:02,090
He's officially filed
to run against you.
675
00:48:02,150 --> 00:48:05,450
My friend at The Advocate says
David Goodstein is backing him.
676
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,750
So, a gay candidate
against a gay candidate.
677
00:48:07,830 --> 00:48:09,260
That's unfortunate.
678
00:48:09,330 --> 00:48:10,590
Let's find out when they
are going to announce.
679
00:48:10,660 --> 00:48:12,490
So you replaced
Scott with a lesbian?
680
00:48:12,570 --> 00:48:14,860
Anne worked on a recycling
campaign up north.
681
00:48:14,930 --> 00:48:17,530
She's very, very organized.
We need that.
682
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,630
How do you know she's
not a plant for Rick Stokes?
683
00:48:19,710 --> 00:48:21,940
Are you guys
always this paranoid?
684
00:48:22,010 --> 00:48:24,600
Yes. We take after Harvey.
685
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,610
Don't you have someone's
laundry to do?
686
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,540
Shouldn't you be at
a hairdressing convention?
687
00:48:29,980 --> 00:48:32,450
Sir, my girlfriends say
you guys don't like women.
688
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:33,780
I'm just asking.
689
00:48:33,850 --> 00:48:37,580
Is there a place for us in all
this or are you all scared of girls?
690
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,080
Okay, gentlemen,
691
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,490
we've already got a tinker
bell, a lotus blossom.
692
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,190
We've got Jim and Dick
in their three-piece suits.
693
00:48:46,270 --> 00:48:50,460
We need someone to manage
things. A woman this time.
694
00:48:51,700 --> 00:48:53,370
Plus,
she's the right price,
695
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,910
and she's got bigger balls
than anybody else in here.
696
00:48:55,980 --> 00:48:58,310
Just give me whatever is in the
register at the end of the day.
697
00:48:58,380 --> 00:49:04,110
So should I call The Chronicle about
getting us an actual endorsement this time?
698
00:49:04,180 --> 00:49:05,310
No?
699
00:49:05,380 --> 00:49:08,290
Yeah, call The Chronicle,
sweetheart. Tell them I said hi.
700
00:49:08,350 --> 00:49:11,190
Please call. In fact,
don't drive down there.
701
00:49:11,260 --> 00:49:13,050
You'll scare
the shit out of them.
702
00:49:14,830 --> 00:49:16,350
Call.
703
00:49:16,430 --> 00:49:17,520
All right.
704
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,000
Hi, I'm Cleve.
705
00:49:19,060 --> 00:49:20,760
Anne. Good to meet you.
706
00:49:20,830 --> 00:49:23,600
I was telling Harvey we needed
some tough dykes around here, so...
707
00:49:23,670 --> 00:49:25,070
Well, you got one.
708
00:50:15,090 --> 00:50:16,180
All right.
709
00:50:16,260 --> 00:50:19,250
First ever newspaper
endorsement.
710
00:50:19,330 --> 00:50:22,020
And we got
the Bay Guardian,
711
00:50:22,090 --> 00:50:24,820
The Sentinel and
The Bay Area Reporter.
712
00:50:28,270 --> 00:50:32,670
You are pulling your weight.
Oh, this is sensational!
713
00:50:34,070 --> 00:50:36,740
They endorsed you for
being a good businessman?
714
00:50:36,810 --> 00:50:39,710
Oh, my gosh, you really
are a miracle worker.
715
00:50:39,780 --> 00:50:42,110
Scott has got to read this.
He's just gonna piss himself.
716
00:50:42,180 --> 00:50:43,910
Yeah,
you should show him.
717
00:50:44,850 --> 00:50:46,110
You know what you should do, Cleve,
718
00:50:46,190 --> 00:50:49,480
you should get yourself a boy to
celebrate with, just in case we win.
719
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:50,950
Anybody want to
buy me a drink?
720
00:50:51,020 --> 00:50:52,850
Oh, I will buy you
a drink.
721
00:50:52,930 --> 00:50:54,390
How about a bottle
of champagne?
722
00:50:55,690 --> 00:50:58,930
We are going to The Stud
right fucking now.
723
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,970
Harvey, are you going to
come? You're gonna miss out?
724
00:51:01,030 --> 00:51:03,760
Go, go, go, go. I want
to be with my newspaper.
725
00:51:06,610 --> 00:51:08,270
Come on, let's go.
Come on, I'm buying.
726
00:51:08,340 --> 00:51:10,870
You're not buying.
You don't have any money.
727
00:51:19,420 --> 00:51:21,150
Gonna win this time, Milk?
728
00:52:00,390 --> 00:52:02,660
You look more
handsome in the poster.
729
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,090
Oh, thank you.
730
00:52:07,870 --> 00:52:11,600
You know, palominos
are my favorite horse.
731
00:52:12,100 --> 00:52:13,800
They're smart.
732
00:52:14,410 --> 00:52:16,740
But they're
compact and fast.
733
00:52:16,810 --> 00:52:18,740
I like that.
734
00:52:22,180 --> 00:52:26,080
You think I'm more
like a palomino,
735
00:52:27,690 --> 00:52:29,810
or a stallion?
736
00:52:30,590 --> 00:52:33,080
You know,
with big balls and...
737
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,320
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Here, let me help you.
738
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,490
You okay?
739
00:52:40,570 --> 00:52:42,590
Yeah, it's...
Come in.
740
00:52:42,670 --> 00:52:45,430
Here, just lean on me.
741
00:52:45,500 --> 00:52:46,940
Thank you.
What happened?
742
00:52:47,010 --> 00:52:49,270
I don't know, these
boots are too big for me.
743
00:52:49,340 --> 00:52:53,330
Oh, well, let's get you in
and get those off your feet.
744
00:52:53,410 --> 00:52:55,710
Where you going?
745
00:52:55,780 --> 00:52:57,870
I have
some things to do.
746
00:52:57,950 --> 00:53:00,580
I got to go and meet
some friends. No, no, no.
747
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,860
My father beat
me when he found out.
748
00:53:14,170 --> 00:53:16,570
So, that's
why I came here.
749
00:53:17,870 --> 00:53:24,140
But, I'm living with this
guy that... I don't know.
750
00:53:24,810 --> 00:53:26,680
I don't like him.
751
00:53:29,650 --> 00:53:31,840
Nobody will
ever beat you again.
752
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:39,950
I love you.
I love you.
753
00:53:41,230 --> 00:53:43,190
Do you even
remember my name?
754
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,030
No.
755
00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:51,300
Harvey.
756
00:53:52,670 --> 00:53:53,930
I'm Harvey.
757
00:53:55,240 --> 00:53:58,000
Harvey, I love you.
758
00:54:09,220 --> 00:54:10,310
Thanks.
759
00:54:10,390 --> 00:54:11,480
Thank you.
760
00:54:22,470 --> 00:54:25,200
For the first
time, it all came together.
761
00:54:25,270 --> 00:54:31,110
The union boys, women, the
seniors, the gays and minorities.
762
00:54:31,180 --> 00:54:33,470
All of the "us's"
showed up.
763
00:54:33,550 --> 00:54:35,480
We can hear it,
we can't really see too much,
764
00:54:35,550 --> 00:54:37,980
but it looks and sounds
to you and to me
765
00:54:38,050 --> 00:54:40,380
like New Year's Eve
on Market Street.
766
00:54:44,720 --> 00:54:46,950
We did it!
767
00:54:47,030 --> 00:54:48,960
I love you all!
768
00:55:04,780 --> 00:55:09,080
We are the movement. We are
the movement. Thank you so much.
769
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:11,080
Come on, we just want
to congratulate him.
770
00:55:11,150 --> 00:55:13,710
No, I understand, but
right now we're all full.
771
00:55:17,420 --> 00:55:19,320
Harvey!
772
00:55:19,390 --> 00:55:20,520
Harvey!
Harvey!
773
00:55:20,590 --> 00:55:22,820
Hey, Harvey!
774
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:25,460
Hey.
775
00:55:25,530 --> 00:55:28,930
Sorry, it's just so crowded.
776
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,270
Come in, sorry, sorry.
777
00:55:31,340 --> 00:55:34,030
It's so crowded.
It's just so crowded.
778
00:55:34,870 --> 00:55:36,470
Harvey, man!
779
00:55:41,750 --> 00:55:42,840
Scotty!
780
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,280
Is this all for you, Harvey?
Are you this famous, baby?
781
00:55:47,350 --> 00:55:49,320
No, we do this all the time.
You like it?
782
00:55:49,390 --> 00:55:50,450
Yeah.
783
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,290
The new Mrs. Milk.
I give it a week.
784
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:58,590
Gordon Lau, Carol Ruth Silver. It's the
most liberal board in years. In history!
785
00:55:59,260 --> 00:56:01,100
What about Dan White?
Did he win?
786
00:56:01,170 --> 00:56:03,460
We'll deal with him tomorrow. Oh, God.
787
00:56:15,750 --> 00:56:18,550
Does this mean,
as many straights are concerned,
788
00:56:18,620 --> 00:56:21,450
maybe the gays are taking
over San Francisco?
789
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,720
Are you going to be a
supervisor for all the people?
790
00:56:24,790 --> 00:56:27,190
Well, I have to be. That's
what I was elected for.
791
00:56:27,260 --> 00:56:29,850
I have to be there to
open for the dialogue,
792
00:56:29,930 --> 00:56:32,900
for the sensitivities of all
people and all their problems.
793
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,800
The problems that affect
this city, affect us all.
794
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:37,930
Okay, well,
congratulations.
795
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,490
Thank you.
Thank you, San Francisco!
796
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:43,770
And that's Harvey Milk,
797
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,780
celebrating his election to the
San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
798
00:56:46,850 --> 00:56:49,140
For Channel Five news,
I'm Mary Dilts.
799
00:56:51,580 --> 00:56:55,880
I, Harvey Milk,
do solemnly swear...
800
00:56:55,950 --> 00:57:02,750
That I will support and defend
the Constitution of the United States...
801
00:57:02,830 --> 00:57:06,530
During such time as I
hold the office of supervisor,
802
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,470
City and County
of San Francisco.
803
00:57:09,530 --> 00:57:13,200
During such time as I hold
the office of supervisor,
804
00:57:13,270 --> 00:57:15,870
City and County
of San Francisco.
805
00:57:15,940 --> 00:57:18,100
Congratulations, Harvey.
Thank you, Mayor.
806
00:57:21,310 --> 00:57:26,150
Anita Bryant said that it was gay people
that brought the drought to California.
807
00:57:26,850 --> 00:57:30,810
Well, it looks to me as though
it's finally started raining.
808
00:57:32,090 --> 00:57:33,720
This will be
the first time in many years
809
00:57:33,790 --> 00:57:36,760
that we've seen so many new
faces on the Board of Supervisors.
810
00:57:36,830 --> 00:57:39,820
Do you think such diversity
will cripple the board?
811
00:57:39,900 --> 00:57:43,200
Well, the name of the game is
six votes to get anything passed.
812
00:57:43,270 --> 00:57:44,760
So, whether you like it or not,
813
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,000
Dan and I are
in bed together.
814
00:57:47,070 --> 00:57:48,560
Politically speaking.
815
00:57:48,970 --> 00:57:51,140
You see, I've assured
Harvey here that, uh,
816
00:57:51,210 --> 00:57:53,730
my brochure's comments
about social deviants
817
00:57:53,810 --> 00:57:56,750
referred more to junkies
than to his people.
818
00:57:56,820 --> 00:57:58,940
See, I'm about to
have my first child
819
00:57:59,020 --> 00:58:02,780
and I had to make sure that this city
remains a decent place to raise him.
820
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,720
Well, thank you so much
for coming on the show, gentlemen,
821
00:58:06,790 --> 00:58:08,420
and we'll see what happens.
822
00:58:08,490 --> 00:58:09,720
HARVEY/ That's it?
It's over? We're finished?
823
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:10,850
Yes.
824
00:58:10,930 --> 00:58:12,860
That was quick.
Thank you.
825
00:58:13,430 --> 00:58:15,130
How long were
you a fireman, Dan?
826
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:16,600
A couple of years.
827
00:58:16,670 --> 00:58:18,690
And you were a police
officer before that?
828
00:58:18,770 --> 00:58:20,530
You got something
against cops, Harv?
829
00:58:20,610 --> 00:58:22,840
No, no. They tend
to against me though.
830
00:58:22,910 --> 00:58:25,340
But firefighters,
they're the true heroes.
831
00:58:25,410 --> 00:58:28,170
They supported me on my last
campaign. I fully support them.
832
00:58:28,250 --> 00:58:29,910
I appreciate that.
833
00:58:29,980 --> 00:58:31,950
I meant what I said.
I'd like to work together.
834
00:58:32,020 --> 00:58:33,640
Me, too.
I'll see you later.
835
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:34,710
Okay.
836
00:58:48,230 --> 00:58:51,330
Oh. What do you think of my new theater?
837
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:52,870
A bit over the top.
838
00:58:55,070 --> 00:58:56,870
You're
wearing a suit?
839
00:58:56,940 --> 00:58:58,270
I got it
from a friend.
840
00:58:58,340 --> 00:58:59,540
No, no, no, no.
841
00:58:59,610 --> 00:59:03,240
Anytime you come here, I want you
to wear the tightest jeans possible.
842
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,340
Never blend in. And
never take the elevator.
843
00:59:06,420 --> 00:59:07,680
Always use
the stairs.
844
00:59:07,750 --> 00:59:12,750
You can make such a grand
entrance by taking these stairs.
845
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:14,320
Hello.
846
00:59:14,860 --> 00:59:16,380
Carol, friend.
847
00:59:17,830 --> 00:59:19,260
Dan White.
848
00:59:21,370 --> 00:59:22,590
Hello, Dianne.
849
00:59:24,670 --> 00:59:26,900
And then this is
Gordon Lau's office.
850
00:59:26,970 --> 00:59:28,530
Anne, can you set Cleve up on mail?
851
00:59:28,610 --> 00:59:29,770
Will do.
852
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:32,840
Okay,
853
00:59:32,910 --> 00:59:35,110
first order of business
to come out of this office
854
00:59:35,180 --> 00:59:36,880
is a citywide
Gay Rights Ordinance,
855
00:59:36,950 --> 00:59:39,680
just like the one that Anita
shot down in Dade County.
856
00:59:39,750 --> 00:59:40,910
What do you think,
Lotus Blossom?
857
00:59:40,990 --> 00:59:43,110
I think it's good.
It's not great.
858
00:59:43,190 --> 00:59:47,180
Okay, so make it brilliant. We want
Anita's attention here in San Francisco.
859
00:59:47,260 --> 00:59:49,350
I want her to bring her fight to us.
860
00:59:49,430 --> 00:59:52,450
We need a unanimous
vote, we need headlines.
861
00:59:52,530 --> 00:59:54,160
Dan White is not
gonna vote for this.
862
00:59:54,230 --> 00:59:55,460
Dan White will be fine.
863
00:59:55,530 --> 00:59:57,800
Dan White is just
uneducated. We'll teach him.
864
00:59:57,870 --> 01:00:00,430
Hey, Harv,
committee meets at 9:30.
865
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:01,970
Hey, you guys.
866
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,800
Say, did you get the invitation
to my son's christening?
867
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:06,670
I invited a few of
the other Supes, too.
868
01:00:06,750 --> 01:00:08,510
Oh, I'll be there.
869
01:00:08,580 --> 01:00:10,380
Great! Thanks.
870
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,280
Did he hear you?
What the fuck!
871
01:00:13,350 --> 01:00:15,220
Are you going?
872
01:00:15,290 --> 01:00:18,480
I would let him christen me if it means
he's gonna vote for the Gay Rights Ordinance.
873
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,180
We need allies.
We need everyone.
874
01:00:21,890 --> 01:00:23,380
I don't think
he heard you.
875
01:00:23,460 --> 01:00:25,190
Is it just me
or is he cute?
876
01:00:47,790 --> 01:00:48,950
Jack?
877
01:00:49,390 --> 01:00:53,290
Welcome home, Harvey.
I hope you're hungry.
878
01:00:53,730 --> 01:00:56,750
I just know how to cook one
thing, but I make it good.
879
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,360
Come.
880
01:00:59,430 --> 01:01:01,260
Jack,
did you break in?
881
01:01:01,330 --> 01:01:04,770
No, no, no. I asked the little
boy downstairs to let me in.
882
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,030
Danny?
Yeah.
883
01:01:06,100 --> 01:01:08,830
He wouldn't let me,
so I came in this way.
884
01:01:10,110 --> 01:01:12,700
You know, your friends aren't
very nice to me, Harvey.
885
01:01:12,780 --> 01:01:14,440
I have a Town Hall
meeting tonight.
886
01:01:14,510 --> 01:01:18,450
Sit down. Come, five minutes.
That's it. Come, please.
887
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:21,510
There you go.
888
01:01:22,490 --> 01:01:25,320
I watched TV here
today, all day.
889
01:01:25,390 --> 01:01:27,220
I saw All My Children.
890
01:01:28,790 --> 01:01:31,960
And they killed Margo. But I
knew it was going to happen.
891
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,830
You know, they always try and
trick you but it never works.
892
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,800
You always
see it coming.
893
01:01:39,870 --> 01:01:45,000
What? Killing the blonde?
Yeah, I'm good with that.
894
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,440
Jack.
What?
895
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:53,450
If I make you a key,
896
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,950
will you promise never
to break in again?
897
01:01:58,620 --> 01:02:00,090
That's right.
898
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:15,060
Is it your will that Charles should
be baptized in the faith of the church
899
01:02:15,140 --> 01:02:17,010
which we have all
professed with you?
900
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:18,600
It is.
It is.
901
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,710
Charles, I baptize you
in the name of the Father
902
01:02:25,780 --> 01:02:29,150
and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit.
903
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,920
God, the father of our Lord Jesus
Christ has freed you from sin...
904
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,260
I'm proposing
a citywide ordinance
905
01:02:41,330 --> 01:02:44,130
which would ensure that any
person who already has a job
906
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,040
cannot be fired on the
basis of sexual orientation.
907
01:02:48,010 --> 01:02:51,000
I don't think my constituents
would favor that, Harvey.
908
01:02:53,780 --> 01:02:56,470
Is there anyone else here
from the board today, Dan?
909
01:02:57,380 --> 01:02:59,650
You're the only one
who showed, I think.
910
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:00,840
Were you
christened here?
911
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,440
I was. Right here, same parish.
912
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,550
My grandma immigrated here when
this was an Irish Catholic city,
913
01:03:06,620 --> 01:03:08,320
the City of Saint Francis.
914
01:03:09,090 --> 01:03:10,690
But a lot's changed here
since then, you know.
915
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,290
You're more like one
of us now, an outsider.
916
01:03:13,900 --> 01:03:16,770
You're not like most
homosexuals, are you, Harvey?
917
01:03:17,670 --> 01:03:20,140
Do you know a lot
of homosexuals, Dan?
918
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:26,800
Hey, where do you stand
on the Psychiatric Center
919
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,210
that the city's been
pushing into my district?
920
01:03:29,780 --> 01:03:31,840
Well, I'd have
to study it...
921
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:36,290
It was a key piece on my platform.
Getting it out of my district.
922
01:03:36,350 --> 01:03:38,620
It only attracts arsonists, rapists,
that sort of thing, you know.
923
01:03:38,690 --> 01:03:39,990
A campaign promise.
924
01:03:40,060 --> 01:03:41,790
A big one.
Sure.
925
01:03:43,860 --> 01:03:47,920
What do you say we watch out for each
other's interests? I would really like that.
926
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,130
I'd like that too, Dan.
Good.
927
01:03:50,770 --> 01:03:53,100
Sorry, hon, we just
slipped into some shop talk.
928
01:03:53,170 --> 01:03:55,300
The Gay Rights Ordinance.
My fault.
929
01:03:55,710 --> 01:03:57,970
Seems like an inappropriate
subject, don't you think?
930
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:00,440
Oh, don't knock it
till you've tried it.
931
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,980
Hello. Oh, oh, but you had
such a beautiful christening.
932
01:04:06,050 --> 01:04:08,110
Supervisors Silver and
Lau are asking you to vote
933
01:04:08,190 --> 01:04:10,180
to keep this Psychiatric
Center in Dan's district.
934
01:04:10,260 --> 01:04:13,090
It'll go down six to five
if you vote to get rid of it.
935
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:14,590
It's a youth
campus, Harvey.
936
01:04:14,660 --> 01:04:16,890
And these are kids that would
be displaced from families.
937
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,120
I can't just dump Dan. He's
got nothing going for him.
938
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:20,320
No friends...
939
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,800
Oh, God, oh, God! Here we go,
here we go. Harvey to the rescue.
940
01:04:23,870 --> 01:04:26,170
Isn't it enough that we
have to put up with Jack?
941
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,170
All right, lay off. He
registered 120 voters last week.
942
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:30,670
Okay, so do any
of your volunteers,
943
01:04:30,740 --> 01:04:32,940
but you don't go and
make them all first lady.
944
01:04:33,010 --> 01:04:35,710
Harvey, what does
Dan White do for you?
945
01:04:35,780 --> 01:04:37,810
Really, politically.
946
01:04:38,820 --> 01:04:41,580
He intrigues me.
I think he may be one of us.
947
01:04:41,650 --> 01:04:42,810
No, no.
948
01:04:42,890 --> 01:04:44,550
It's just a theory.
949
01:04:44,620 --> 01:04:46,090
You just
think he's cute.
950
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:49,390
No, no. I know what it's
like to live that life.
951
01:04:49,460 --> 01:04:53,190
That lie. I can see it in Dan's
eyes. That fear, the pressure.
952
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:01,770
Good or bad?
Not great.
953
01:05:02,310 --> 01:05:06,640
State Senator John Briggs is Anita
Bryant's go-to guy in California for sure.
954
01:05:07,180 --> 01:05:10,200
He filed a petition for
a statewide referendum
955
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,310
to fire all gay teachers
and anyone who supports them.
956
01:05:14,090 --> 01:05:16,180
How many signatures does he
need to get on the ballot?
957
01:05:16,250 --> 01:05:20,750
Oh, whatever. He can get them in two
Sundays at church in Orange fucking County.
958
01:05:23,730 --> 01:05:27,190
So, this means that
the fight is coming here,
959
01:05:28,470 --> 01:05:30,800
where we can do
something about it.
960
01:05:31,470 --> 01:05:33,660
The issue in
California is whether school boards
961
01:05:33,740 --> 01:05:37,040
should be allowed to fire
teachers who are known homosexuals.
962
01:05:37,110 --> 01:05:39,040
The courts have
ruled they cannot.
963
01:05:39,110 --> 01:05:43,100
Boards must prove a teacher's
homosexuality adversely affects children
964
01:05:43,180 --> 01:05:45,480
and makes them unfit
for the classroom.
965
01:05:45,550 --> 01:05:48,040
State Senator John Briggs
wants to change that.
966
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:53,610
My proposition promises to protect our
children from these gay perverts and...
967
01:05:55,290 --> 01:05:59,090
These gay perverts and pedophiles
who recruit our children
968
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,460
to participate in their
deviant lifestyle,
969
01:06:02,530 --> 01:06:05,560
including the ones who do
it in our public schools.
970
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:09,800
The time has come
for us to root them out.
971
01:06:11,010 --> 01:06:13,240
How are you going to
determine who's homosexual?
972
01:06:13,310 --> 01:06:14,610
I'm sorry, sir, what?
973
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,840
How are you going to
determine who's homosexual?
974
01:06:16,910 --> 01:06:19,940
Sir, my bill has procedures
for identifying homosexuals.
975
01:06:20,020 --> 01:06:22,820
Oh, yeah, how? Will you be
sucking them off, Briggs?
976
01:06:22,890 --> 01:06:26,190
Excuse me. You know what,
you can argue with me,
977
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:28,950
you cannot
argue with God.
978
01:06:34,900 --> 01:06:36,490
Harvey, I can't believe it.
979
01:06:36,570 --> 01:06:39,870
No, he wants my job. You
want my job, you prick!
980
01:06:39,940 --> 01:06:43,070
Sir, you were here when
State Senator Briggs was on the steps.
981
01:06:43,140 --> 01:06:44,540
What do you
think about that?
982
01:06:44,610 --> 01:06:48,710
Well, I think what you saw, you saw some
very committed opposition to his proposition.
983
01:06:48,780 --> 01:06:51,010
And I think that's
only going to continue.
984
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,710
People have very emotional
reactions to this.
985
01:06:53,790 --> 01:06:55,340
This is their lives
that are on the line.
986
01:06:55,420 --> 01:06:57,480
What's going to happen?
987
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:00,250
Well, look what
happened in Germany.
988
01:07:00,330 --> 01:07:03,950
I mean, Anita Bryant has already said that
the Jews and Muslims are going to hell.
989
01:07:04,030 --> 01:07:06,460
So, you know she
has a shopping list.
990
01:07:06,530 --> 01:07:09,560
And we are not going to let the
John Briggs' or the Anita Bryants
991
01:07:09,630 --> 01:07:11,600
legislate bigotry
in this state.
992
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,470
Hello, Harvey,
running late?
993
01:07:18,540 --> 01:07:20,910
Your boyfriend
is in the closet.
994
01:07:20,980 --> 01:07:22,310
Excuse me, David.
995
01:07:22,380 --> 01:07:25,710
The Latino has locked himself
in the closet upstairs.
996
01:07:25,780 --> 01:07:27,550
Harvey, Harvey,
Phil Burton is here.
997
01:07:27,620 --> 01:07:29,680
He's likely the next
Speaker of the House
998
01:07:29,750 --> 01:07:33,120
and a very important ally
against Proposition 6.
999
01:07:33,190 --> 01:07:35,180
So, please,
no scenes, all right?
1000
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,550
You're right. I was late by 20 minutes.
1001
01:07:40,630 --> 01:07:41,690
So come on out, Jack.
1002
01:07:41,770 --> 01:07:45,600
Who were you with? Scott? Or with
a new boy you were trying to save?
1003
01:07:45,670 --> 01:07:48,470
I was at work. Come on out, sweet pea.
1004
01:07:48,540 --> 01:07:50,200
You embarrassed me,
Harvey.
1005
01:07:50,270 --> 01:07:53,180
I didn't know anyone down
there and they're bad people.
1006
01:07:54,810 --> 01:07:57,040
I just want to go, okay?
1007
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:58,810
Then you should go home.
1008
01:08:00,020 --> 01:08:03,010
No, I want to stay.
I want to stay here.
1009
01:08:03,590 --> 01:08:06,460
So, you go away, okay?
Go away!
1010
01:08:11,330 --> 01:08:14,390
The Briggs initiative is polling
at 75% for approval statewide.
1011
01:08:14,470 --> 01:08:17,800
80% in other polls. Some even
have us losing San Francisco.
1012
01:08:17,870 --> 01:08:20,390
We deceive people into
thinking we can beat this,
1013
01:08:20,470 --> 01:08:22,770
we'll have riots and only
increase the backlash.
1014
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:24,270
That's a good point, David.
1015
01:08:24,340 --> 01:08:27,710
Maybe we should just roll over and make
it easier for Briggs to fuck us in the ass.
1016
01:08:27,780 --> 01:08:30,010
We're taking this very
seriously in my office.
1017
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,140
We want to send one of these to every
home in California and that takes money.
1018
01:08:33,220 --> 01:08:35,690
"Proposition 6 is
an affront to human rights.
1019
01:08:35,750 --> 01:08:39,950
"An invasion of the state into the
private lives of California citizens. ' '
1020
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:43,190
Without a single mention of the
word gay on the entire flyer.
1021
01:08:43,260 --> 01:08:44,790
By design, Harvey.
1022
01:08:44,860 --> 01:08:46,760
Corey Wares is an out
gay teacher... Rick...
1023
01:08:46,830 --> 01:08:49,600
With the heat bearing down
on your movement right now,
1024
01:08:49,670 --> 01:08:52,830
we feel it's best to dodge the gay
bullet. Go for the human rights angle.
1025
01:08:52,900 --> 01:08:56,640
People need to know who it
is that's being affected.
1026
01:08:56,710 --> 01:08:59,300
You need at least one
old queer on this flyer.
1027
01:08:59,380 --> 01:09:01,280
Excuse me, yeah. Maybe you
should volunteer for that, David.
1028
01:09:01,350 --> 01:09:03,840
This is shit. This is
shit and masturbation.
1029
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,820
It's just a coward's response
to a dangerous threat.
1030
01:09:16,060 --> 01:09:17,990
Come on, Jack.
It's time to go.
1031
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,460
Get everyone
together at your place.
1032
01:09:20,530 --> 01:09:23,360
I want young people, I want
women, I want fresh heads.
1033
01:09:23,430 --> 01:09:27,170
Get organizers and fighters,
not politicians. Come on, Jack.
1034
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,800
What about S-C-O-T-T?
1035
01:09:30,610 --> 01:09:31,730
Yeah.
1036
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:33,810
Jack, come on.
1037
01:09:34,380 --> 01:09:35,440
We have to
fight the machine.
1038
01:09:35,510 --> 01:09:37,980
They don't want to change,
they want to stay in the past.
1039
01:09:38,050 --> 01:09:39,680
Stop and be
realistic about it.
1040
01:09:39,750 --> 01:09:43,710
Realistic? We're not interested in
staying in the closet, losing Prop 6.
1041
01:09:43,790 --> 01:09:46,220
We're all on the same side,
man, we're on the same side.
1042
01:09:47,630 --> 01:09:50,860
Hey, is anybody gonna pay the
pizza guy or we're just gonna stare?
1043
01:09:50,930 --> 01:09:52,560
How could
we not stare?
1044
01:09:54,100 --> 01:09:55,730
Here, put out your hand.
1045
01:09:57,440 --> 01:10:00,460
You are shameless.
You are shameless.
1046
01:10:00,540 --> 01:10:02,730
I mean, I'm proud of you
but you are hysterical.
1047
01:10:02,810 --> 01:10:03,800
Hey.
1048
01:10:10,310 --> 01:10:12,510
We're going to
convince the 90%
1049
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:15,980
to give a shit
about us 10%.
1050
01:10:16,050 --> 01:10:19,150
We have to let them
know who we are.
1051
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,520
Everybody has to come out.
1052
01:10:23,590 --> 01:10:26,460
Across the entire state,
no matter where they live.
1053
01:10:26,930 --> 01:10:28,490
Come out, come out,
wherever you are.
1054
01:10:28,570 --> 01:10:32,000
If we're going to beat Prop 6,
we tell all of them to come out.
1055
01:10:32,070 --> 01:10:36,170
Every gay lawyer, teacher,
doctor, dog catcher.
1056
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,270
We have to
leave the ghetto.
1057
01:10:38,340 --> 01:10:43,300
We have to let all those people out
there know that they know one of us.
1058
01:10:43,380 --> 01:10:45,610
And if somebody doesn't want
to step out of the closet,
1059
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:47,650
we open the door for them.
1060
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:48,880
Jesus.
1061
01:10:48,950 --> 01:10:51,290
The whole state isn't
San Francisco, Harvey.
1062
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:52,620
Clearly, Scott.
1063
01:10:52,690 --> 01:10:54,280
Harvey, that could
be really, really dangerous.
1064
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,590
I mean, there's such a
thing as a right to privacy.
1065
01:10:56,660 --> 01:10:58,190
Privacy.
1066
01:10:59,260 --> 01:11:01,250
In this movement,
at this time,
1067
01:11:01,330 --> 01:11:05,530
I'm not saying this as a
supervisor, privacy is the enemy.
1068
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:11,570
And if you want real political
power, if that's what you want,
1069
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,240
try telling the truth
for a change.
1070
01:11:14,310 --> 01:11:16,250
All right? Starting here.
1071
01:11:16,310 --> 01:11:19,370
If there's anyone in
this room, right now,
1072
01:11:20,380 --> 01:11:22,320
who hasn't told
their families,
1073
01:11:22,390 --> 01:11:24,720
their friends,
their employers,
1074
01:11:25,860 --> 01:11:27,290
do it now.
1075
01:11:28,030 --> 01:11:30,360
My folks know already.
1076
01:11:32,300 --> 01:11:34,320
My dad doesn't know yet.
1077
01:11:38,570 --> 01:11:40,700
They vote for us
two to one.
1078
01:11:41,440 --> 01:11:43,810
If they know,
they know one of us.
1079
01:11:54,450 --> 01:11:56,650
As much as I'm sure
you'd all like to watch,
1080
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,020
I don't think
that's such a good idea.
1081
01:12:01,460 --> 01:12:05,830
Cleve, could you show Dick where there's
a phone where he could speak in private?
1082
01:12:06,930 --> 01:12:09,020
There's
one in the bedroom.
1083
01:12:23,980 --> 01:12:29,180
I just found myself clawing over
him, literally running to get him.
1084
01:12:29,250 --> 01:12:31,080
Oh, good night.
Good night.
1085
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:32,750
Ciao, gang.
Sleep tight.
1086
01:12:32,820 --> 01:12:35,520
I thought
you got out of politics.
1087
01:12:35,590 --> 01:12:38,390
Politics.
Not the movement.
1088
01:12:39,260 --> 01:12:40,730
What the hell
was that in there?
1089
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,360
The movement needs people to be upfront.
1090
01:12:42,430 --> 01:12:44,260
Why were you
fighting me in there?
1091
01:12:44,340 --> 01:12:48,290
Those are kids in there. You're
asking them to lose their families.
1092
01:12:49,370 --> 01:12:52,070
If their families don't
love them for who they are,
1093
01:12:52,140 --> 01:12:54,480
who they really are, then
they should lose them.
1094
01:12:54,550 --> 01:12:56,310
That's fucking insane.
1095
01:12:56,380 --> 01:12:58,780
You were the biggest
closet case in New York.
1096
01:12:58,850 --> 01:13:01,370
You asked me and all your
boyfriends to keep our traps shut.
1097
01:13:01,450 --> 01:13:03,010
I mean, you're being the hypocrite.
1098
01:13:03,090 --> 01:13:06,720
My parents are gone. My brother
knew. I'm sure they knew.
1099
01:13:07,530 --> 01:13:11,960
How many times did I have
to listen to calls to Mom,
1100
01:13:12,030 --> 01:13:14,090
where you
denied my existence?
1101
01:13:14,170 --> 01:13:17,330
And you want to be normal like
anybody. More than anybody.
1102
01:13:21,070 --> 01:13:23,270
Who's he?
You live together?
1103
01:13:24,440 --> 01:13:26,000
Someone I'm seeing.
1104
01:13:26,740 --> 01:13:28,940
Keeps me out of
trouble, out of the bars.
1105
01:13:30,610 --> 01:13:32,280
I miss you.
1106
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:34,520
Harvey,
1107
01:13:35,820 --> 01:13:37,250
what's that about?
1108
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,220
Harvey.
1109
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:41,880
He needs me.
1110
01:13:51,300 --> 01:13:55,600
If there is an air of dishonesty
with this board and its members,
1111
01:13:55,670 --> 01:13:56,870
that is repugnant...
1112
01:13:56,940 --> 01:13:59,930
I have told no lies today or
to Supervisor White in the past.
1113
01:14:00,010 --> 01:14:01,440
Supervisor Milk,
you will come to order.
1114
01:14:01,510 --> 01:14:04,110
I would like it
noted that I never promised
1115
01:14:04,180 --> 01:14:06,010
to back moving any
mental health centers.
1116
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:10,140
And that with great respect to Supervisor
White, I would like his remarks stricken.
1117
01:14:10,220 --> 01:14:14,450
Duly noted. We will take a 10 minute
recess before recording the vote.
1118
01:14:16,260 --> 01:14:18,250
Thank you, Harvey.
1119
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:22,920
Can I have a moment with
Harvey? Alone, please, Carol?
1120
01:14:28,070 --> 01:14:30,940
Why? Why are you
turning on me like this?
1121
01:14:31,010 --> 01:14:32,940
At the last minute?
What did I do?
1122
01:14:33,010 --> 01:14:34,100
I never
got the details.
1123
01:14:34,180 --> 01:14:36,700
Dan, if you want me to help
you draft another version of it
1124
01:14:36,780 --> 01:14:41,220
that doesn't shanghai every troubled
kid in your area, I'll be happy to.
1125
01:14:41,290 --> 01:14:46,050
Harvey, I can't go back to my family,
to my folks, to my district without this.
1126
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:48,110
Don't do this. Well, I have
a lot of pressure on me.
1127
01:14:48,190 --> 01:14:49,750
So, you're just
stringing me along
1128
01:14:49,830 --> 01:14:51,290
and then you're just gonna throw
me to the wolves, is that it?
1129
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:52,520
Dan, you only need one more vote.
1130
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,290
You've got five other supervisors
you can convince besides me.
1131
01:14:55,370 --> 01:14:58,360
I'm gonna vote against your queer law
and I'm gonna get Quentin against it, too.
1132
01:14:58,440 --> 01:15:01,060
Oh, it's gonna pass anyway and you
can't keep alienating yourself here, Dan.
1133
01:15:01,140 --> 01:15:04,630
I gave you a chance, Harvey, okay?
I gave you a chance and you blew it!
1134
01:15:06,410 --> 01:15:07,930
You blew it.
1135
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,310
The city council in
St. Paul, Minnesota
1136
01:15:15,390 --> 01:15:17,820
passed a law guaranteeing,
among other things,
1137
01:15:17,890 --> 01:15:21,020
equal rights in housing,
employment and education,
1138
01:15:21,090 --> 01:15:23,290
regardless of
sexual preference.
1139
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,830
Now, voters in that city have
made their disapproval clear.
1140
01:15:25,900 --> 01:15:30,270
Homosexuality is a question facing
the voters of Eugene, Oregon tomorrow.
1141
01:15:30,330 --> 01:15:33,000
A referendum to repeal
gay rights protection.
1142
01:15:33,370 --> 01:15:38,540
So, while we were fighting
Proposition 6 and Briggs in California,
1143
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,840
I needed to put
a show on the road.
1144
01:15:42,580 --> 01:15:45,910
And our next stop,
Wichita, Kansas.
1145
01:15:45,980 --> 01:15:49,650
Voters of Wichita, Kansas
have overwhelmingly repealed
1146
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:51,880
a city law
protecting homosexuals
1147
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,450
against discrimination
in jobs and housing.
1148
01:15:54,530 --> 01:15:56,790
Only two hours
after the polls closed,
1149
01:15:56,860 --> 01:16:01,200
the church organization that started the
repeal action was celebrating victory.
1150
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,270
Hey, Lawrence, it's Cleve.
1151
01:16:07,340 --> 01:16:08,600
Hey, we're losing Wichita.
1152
01:16:08,670 --> 01:16:11,870
So rally tonight sundown
at Market and Castro, okay?
1153
01:16:11,940 --> 01:16:13,270
Okay, bye.
1154
01:16:15,580 --> 01:16:16,570
Hello?
1155
01:16:28,090 --> 01:16:31,990
Jerry. Hey,
we're losing Wichita...
1156
01:16:42,170 --> 01:16:43,660
They're moving.
I don't know where.
1157
01:16:43,740 --> 01:16:46,140
Did Jim call the press? You
get out there with your camera.
1158
01:16:46,210 --> 01:16:49,180
Press is covered. But we
don't have a permit to march.
1159
01:16:50,550 --> 01:16:51,670
Hurry up.
1160
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:02,990
When I got Coors beer out of the
bars, the union boys gave me this.
1161
01:17:03,060 --> 01:17:05,050
I want you
to take it now.
1162
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:07,320
What am I supposed
to do with this?
1163
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,060
You're an activist now,
you're gonna march them.
1164
01:17:09,130 --> 01:17:11,470
I want you to march them right up
to the front doors of City Hall.
1165
01:17:11,540 --> 01:17:14,130
When things start
to look really bad,
1166
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:18,370
the city's first gay supervisor
will come out and play peacemaker.
1167
01:17:20,140 --> 01:17:21,410
Do it with me.
1168
01:17:30,650 --> 01:17:31,810
Hello.
1169
01:17:32,990 --> 01:17:35,360
Forty years ago, tonight,
1170
01:17:35,430 --> 01:17:40,830
the gay citizens of Germany found
out they no longer had civil rights.
1171
01:17:43,730 --> 01:17:48,360
Tomorrow morning, the gay citizens
of Wichita will also awaken
1172
01:17:48,440 --> 01:17:52,470
to find that they too
have lost their civil rights!
1173
01:17:52,540 --> 01:17:56,980
You have whistles. You use
them when we have been attacked.
1174
01:17:57,450 --> 01:17:59,140
Tonight we have been attacked.
1175
01:17:59,220 --> 01:18:01,410
Come on, the crowd
is leaving without us!
1176
01:18:01,490 --> 01:18:02,980
Shit!
1177
01:18:28,480 --> 01:18:30,810
Get the press
to the marquee.
1178
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,350
Move left! Move left!
1179
01:18:33,420 --> 01:18:35,480
What are you doing? What are
you doing? Where's Harvey?
1180
01:18:35,550 --> 01:18:37,990
We're shutting down traffic,
both directions.
1181
01:18:38,060 --> 01:18:39,250
Cameras are rolling.
1182
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,480
Okay, disconnect
the power arm!
1183
01:18:57,810 --> 01:19:04,440
Civil rights or civil
war! Gay rights now!
1184
01:19:15,430 --> 01:19:19,090
Civil rights
or civil war! Gay rights now!
1185
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:26,290
Civil rights or civil war!
Gay rights now!
1186
01:19:26,370 --> 01:19:27,630
Anita!
1187
01:19:27,700 --> 01:19:31,830
Anita, you're a liar!
We'll set your hair on fire!
1188
01:19:31,910 --> 01:19:33,770
Anita, you're a liar!
1189
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:40,710
Anita, you're a liar!
We'll set your hair on fire!
1190
01:20:07,140 --> 01:20:09,580
Okay, okay!
1191
01:20:10,980 --> 01:20:14,180
My name is Harvey Milk
and I'm here to recruit you.
1192
01:20:16,290 --> 01:20:19,590
They're calling it
a successful mediation.
1193
01:20:19,660 --> 01:20:23,820
You're a goddamn hero. Fuck,
we came this close to a riot.
1194
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:27,430
Next time
put down the note cards.
1195
01:20:27,500 --> 01:20:31,460
You got to keep talking into that bullhorn
and tell them what they're feeling.
1196
01:20:31,540 --> 01:20:34,560
Oh, you're just jealous
it wasn't you out there.
1197
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:37,110
We're losing
Proposition 6 by 60%,
1198
01:20:37,170 --> 01:20:39,140
and you're over there
celebrating a riot.
1199
01:20:39,210 --> 01:20:41,180
What we need is exposure.
1200
01:20:41,250 --> 01:20:42,770
If we're gonna
beat this thing,
1201
01:20:42,850 --> 01:20:45,080
we got to get Briggs
to acknowledge it.
1202
01:20:45,150 --> 01:20:48,590
Every paper's calling
Prop 6 the main event now.
1203
01:20:48,650 --> 01:20:52,210
We lose this, we'll have
anti-gay laws in all 50 states,
1204
01:20:52,290 --> 01:20:54,550
and Briggs won't answer our
calls for a public debate.
1205
01:20:54,630 --> 01:20:56,290
He's trying
to ignore us to death.
1206
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,490
We need
something populist.
1207
01:21:00,230 --> 01:21:02,720
What's the number one
problem in this city?
1208
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,290
The fucking piss
smell in the tenderloin.
1209
01:21:05,370 --> 01:21:06,530
Close.
1210
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:07,970
Dog shit.
1211
01:21:09,010 --> 01:21:11,570
If you clean up the dog shit in
this town, you're the next mayor.
1212
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:13,670
Supervisor Milk
took to the grassy lawn
1213
01:21:13,740 --> 01:21:16,370
at Duboce Park this afternoon
to publicize the new law.
1214
01:21:16,450 --> 01:21:19,420
Dog mess is a hazard and on
top of that, it's disgusting.
1215
01:21:19,480 --> 01:21:23,510
So under the new ordinance, all dog
owners who don't clean up their mess
1216
01:21:23,590 --> 01:21:24,680
will be fined.
1217
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,690
Milk put his foot down to
emphasize that the city intends to enforce,
1218
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:29,520
and you guessed it.
1219
01:21:29,590 --> 01:21:33,390
In Supervisor Milk's words,
"This really is the bottom line. "
1220
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:34,720
Aye.
1221
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,890
Lau, aye.
Supervisor Hutch?
1222
01:21:37,970 --> 01:21:39,030
Aye.
1223
01:21:39,100 --> 01:21:42,400
Hutch, aye.
Supervisor White?
1224
01:21:43,870 --> 01:21:44,970
No.
1225
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,440
White, no.
Supervisor Silver?
1226
01:21:48,510 --> 01:21:49,840
Aye.
1227
01:21:49,910 --> 01:21:53,080
Silver, aye.
Supervisor Milk?
1228
01:21:54,180 --> 01:21:55,280
Aye.
1229
01:21:55,350 --> 01:21:57,250
Milk, aye.
1230
01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:01,520
Madam President, I have
ten ayes and one no.
1231
01:22:01,590 --> 01:22:04,320
The San Francisco
Gay Rights Ordinance
1232
01:22:04,390 --> 01:22:09,160
sponsored by Supervisors
Milk and Silver is passed.
1233
01:22:16,770 --> 01:22:19,210
I can't get my stories on page
ten, you're getting page one?
1234
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:21,370
Doggy-doo is a
real issue, George.
1235
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:26,840
A powder blue pen to sign the
city's first gay rights law.
1236
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:32,950
I don't do this enough, taking
swift and unambiguous action
1237
01:22:33,020 --> 01:22:35,550
on a substantive
move for civil rights.
1238
01:22:38,230 --> 01:22:39,590
Congratulations.
1239
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,030
George, we need your help with Briggs.
1240
01:22:42,100 --> 01:22:45,500
The gay community will have your
back on every issue from now on.
1241
01:22:45,570 --> 01:22:47,300
We hope you'll have ours.
1242
01:22:55,780 --> 01:22:57,970
What are you
working on, Dan?
1243
01:22:59,380 --> 01:23:00,850
If you have something
to discuss, Harvey,
1244
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:04,150
you can have your aide make
an appointment with my aide.
1245
01:23:04,220 --> 01:23:07,250
Dan, I know you're upset
about the psychiatric center.
1246
01:23:09,230 --> 01:23:11,160
What else do you
have coming up?
1247
01:23:11,230 --> 01:23:12,960
Now you need
something from me.
1248
01:23:14,100 --> 01:23:17,760
What do you want, me to support the
queers against Prop 6, is that it?
1249
01:23:17,830 --> 01:23:20,330
We prefer the term gay, Dan.
1250
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:24,360
Just as I'm sure you prefer the
term Irish-American instead of mick.
1251
01:23:24,980 --> 01:23:28,570
Harvey, a society can't
exist without the family.
1252
01:23:28,650 --> 01:23:30,340
We're not against that.
You're not?
1253
01:23:30,410 --> 01:23:32,180
What, can two men reproduce?
1254
01:23:32,250 --> 01:23:33,240
No.
1255
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:35,080
But God knows
we keep trying.
1256
01:23:38,420 --> 01:23:40,250
This isn't you, Dan.
1257
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,990
It's like you're
channeling Anita and Briggs.
1258
01:23:43,690 --> 01:23:46,490
We got to be able to work
together on something.
1259
01:23:48,300 --> 01:23:49,930
Okay, Milk,
1260
01:23:50,870 --> 01:23:53,860
introduce an initiative
for supervisor pay raises.
1261
01:23:53,940 --> 01:23:56,170
Dan, we both have elections
coming up. We can't do that.
1262
01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:58,370
No, you asked for something.
1263
01:23:58,440 --> 01:24:02,710
Introduce pay raises, 'cause I can't
take care of my family on our salaries.
1264
01:24:02,780 --> 01:24:05,580
You don't have that
problem, do you?
1265
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,430
Senator John Briggs
apparently has not flinched
1266
01:24:17,490 --> 01:24:21,590
in the face of statewide
criticism of his anti-gay crusade.
1267
01:24:21,670 --> 01:24:25,120
He says polls show most of the
people are still on his side.
1268
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:28,830
Especially those concerned with the
preservation of the American family.
1269
01:24:28,910 --> 01:24:33,670
If these people are going to live
a life of such open homosexuality,
1270
01:24:34,310 --> 01:24:38,410
that they want a 21 gun salute
every time somebody walks by them,
1271
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:44,240
those people are going to be in
danger of being removed from their job.
1272
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:50,250
ALL/
Happy birthday to you
1273
01:24:50,330 --> 01:24:56,130
Happy birthday, dear Harvey
1274
01:24:56,200 --> 01:25:01,260
Happy birthday to you
1275
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:27,430
What's wrong, taco?
1276
01:25:27,500 --> 01:25:29,590
It's just that
Cleve and Anne,
1277
01:25:29,670 --> 01:25:32,190
they tried to cut me
out of your table, baby.
1278
01:25:32,270 --> 01:25:35,000
I'm so sick of them.
You should fire them.
1279
01:25:36,310 --> 01:25:38,500
I'll take it
under consideration.
1280
01:25:38,580 --> 01:25:41,010
Would you go
get us some cake?
1281
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:42,310
Cake?
Yeah.
1282
01:25:42,380 --> 01:25:43,970
Whatever you want.
1283
01:25:49,020 --> 01:25:51,420
Don't let Cesar Chavez
hear you calling him taco.
1284
01:25:51,490 --> 01:25:55,250
He's getting much better. He's
enrolling in classes on Monday, I hope.
1285
01:25:55,330 --> 01:25:57,420
You know, I remember
when your birthdays were
1286
01:25:57,490 --> 01:25:59,490
a lot less lavish and
a little more intimate.
1287
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,090
Who invited you? Anne?
1288
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:04,400
No, my boyfriend.
I'm his plus one.
1289
01:26:06,070 --> 01:26:08,700
Well, congratulations. It
was a very hard ticket to get.
1290
01:26:08,770 --> 01:26:12,440
Congratulations to you. Looks like
you're part of the machine now.
1291
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,270
By the way,
you can do better.
1292
01:26:16,980 --> 01:26:19,470
When I come home to Jack, I
don't have to talk politics,
1293
01:26:19,550 --> 01:26:22,880
I don't have to talk intelligently.
I don't have to talk at all.
1294
01:26:22,950 --> 01:26:27,320
And besides, where's an ugly old man like
me gonna find a handsome young man like that?
1295
01:26:27,390 --> 01:26:30,590
You're not that old
and you look handsome.
1296
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:35,860
Happy 48. Looks like you're gonna
make it to 50 after all, Mr. Milk.
1297
01:26:41,470 --> 01:26:43,300
Harvey!
1298
01:26:53,750 --> 01:26:55,810
Harvey, Harvey!
1299
01:26:55,890 --> 01:26:57,790
Is your birthday party
over?
1300
01:26:57,850 --> 01:27:00,080
Well, it's just
winding down. Hi.
1301
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:03,280
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I
missed your birthday party.
1302
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,790
No, it's no problem.
It's good to see you, Dan.
1303
01:27:05,860 --> 01:27:08,090
I'm sorry. It's good
to see you too, Harvey.
1304
01:27:09,530 --> 01:27:13,970
Oh, I wanted to ask
you about the dog poop.
1305
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:15,500
Yeah.
1306
01:27:15,570 --> 01:27:18,370
That's good.
It's a really good one.
1307
01:27:18,440 --> 01:27:19,970
It's a good one.
1308
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:21,980
Hey, I got you
a little something.
1309
01:27:22,610 --> 01:27:23,810
You didn't have to.
1310
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:25,350
I knew you were
going to say that.
1311
01:27:25,420 --> 01:27:27,140
Why do people
always say that?
1312
01:27:27,220 --> 01:27:30,150
"You didn't have to. ' '
I mean, of course, right?
1313
01:27:30,220 --> 01:27:32,090
But that's what
they always say.
1314
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:34,450
They always say
things like that.
1315
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:36,120
Always.
1316
01:27:37,130 --> 01:27:38,590
Are you okay, Dan?
1317
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:40,750
Yeah.
1318
01:27:40,830 --> 01:27:42,350
Are you okay, Harvey?
1319
01:27:43,370 --> 01:27:45,230
Are we okay?
Okay.
1320
01:27:45,300 --> 01:27:47,770
I've learned a lot from
watching you. I doubt that.
1321
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:51,500
No, I have. I've realized
you just gotta get out there.
1322
01:27:51,580 --> 01:27:54,480
You gotta be noticed, 'cause
that's how it all works.
1323
01:27:54,540 --> 01:27:57,980
But you have an issue.
See, that's your advantage.
1324
01:28:00,420 --> 01:28:01,820
That's an advantage.
1325
01:28:01,890 --> 01:28:04,650
Dan,
it's more than an issue.
1326
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:06,910
What?
I...
1327
01:28:07,990 --> 01:28:12,430
Dan, I have had four
relationships in my life.
1328
01:28:12,500 --> 01:28:15,690
And three of them have tried to
commit suicide. And that's my fault,
1329
01:28:15,770 --> 01:28:19,170
because I kept them hidden and quiet,
because I was closeted and weak.
1330
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:21,800
You see what I'm saying?
Yes.
1331
01:28:21,870 --> 01:28:23,860
You do?
Mmm-hmm.
1332
01:28:23,940 --> 01:28:28,710
This is not just jobs or issues,
this is our lives we're fighting for.
1333
01:28:28,780 --> 01:28:30,470
Okay?
All right.
1334
01:28:30,550 --> 01:28:32,610
Okay, Dan... I've learned
a lot from you, Harvey.
1335
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:33,940
I'm getting back
to my party now.
1336
01:28:34,020 --> 01:28:35,990
I'm going to get my
picture in the papers, too.
1337
01:28:36,050 --> 01:28:39,780
Why are you even here? Why did
you just show up from somewhere?
1338
01:28:39,860 --> 01:28:42,590
I've got my own issues.
Okay.
1339
01:28:42,660 --> 01:28:44,720
I've got my own issues.
Thank you.
1340
01:28:44,790 --> 01:28:47,160
"Thank you. ' ' Whatever.
1341
01:28:47,230 --> 01:28:52,860
I don't even know who you are. You just
showed up out of nowhere, Latino man.
1342
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,560
Dan White's got an issue!
1343
01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:02,510
John Briggs said this morning that Dade
County, Oklahoma, and St. Paul, Minnesota
1344
01:29:02,580 --> 01:29:04,340
were only preliminary battles.
1345
01:29:04,410 --> 01:29:09,350
He called his California campaign against
homosexual teachers the main event.
1346
01:29:09,420 --> 01:29:12,050
What it's doing, what
these people are doing is
1347
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:15,680
changing our morals from our religious
background. And I don't want that.
1348
01:30:02,510 --> 01:30:04,600
This came in
the mail today.
1349
01:30:06,010 --> 01:30:09,810
"You get the first bullet the minute
you stand at the microphone. ' '
1350
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:11,440
...Supervisor Harvey Milk.
1351
01:30:11,510 --> 01:30:14,680
Well, publicity's working.
1352
01:30:14,750 --> 01:30:16,690
You don't have
to go up there.
1353
01:30:17,850 --> 01:30:20,650
The whole nation is watching.
I have to go.
1354
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:39,870
My name is Harvey Milk
and I'm here to recruit you!
1355
01:30:42,110 --> 01:30:47,140
I want to recruit you for the
fight to preserve your democracy!
1356
01:30:47,220 --> 01:30:50,880
Brothers and sisters,
you must come out!
1357
01:30:50,950 --> 01:30:53,120
Come out to your parents,
1358
01:30:53,190 --> 01:30:57,490
come out to your friends, if
indeed they are your friends.
1359
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:01,390
Come out to your neighbors,
come out to your fellow workers.
1360
01:31:01,460 --> 01:31:05,460
Once and for all, let's
break down the myths
1361
01:31:05,540 --> 01:31:09,270
and destroy the lies
and distortions.
1362
01:31:11,740 --> 01:31:15,610
For your sake,
for their sake.
1363
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:20,340
For the sake of all the
youngsters who've been scared
1364
01:31:20,420 --> 01:31:23,390
by the votes from Dade to Eugene.
1365
01:31:27,260 --> 01:31:29,990
On the Statue of Liberty,
it says,
1366
01:31:30,860 --> 01:31:37,270
"Give me your tired, your poor, your
huddled masses yearning to be free. "
1367
01:31:39,700 --> 01:31:42,900
In the Declaration of
Independence it is written,
1368
01:31:43,470 --> 01:31:50,850
"All men are created equal and endowed
with certain inalienable rights. "
1369
01:31:58,390 --> 01:32:01,320
So, for Mr. Briggs,
1370
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:05,890
And Mrs. Bryant,
1371
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:11,560
And all the bigots
out there,
1372
01:32:13,100 --> 01:32:15,700
no matter how hard you try,
1373
01:32:15,770 --> 01:32:21,040
you can never erase those words
from the Declaration of Independence!
1374
01:32:21,110 --> 01:32:26,380
No matter how hard you try,
you can never chip those words
1375
01:32:26,450 --> 01:32:29,540
from the base of
the Statue of Liberty!
1376
01:32:29,620 --> 01:32:33,110
That is where America is!
1377
01:32:33,190 --> 01:32:35,420
Love it or leave it!
1378
01:32:45,370 --> 01:32:48,460
Okay, the mayor says Briggs is on his way
here and that he could intercept him for us.
1379
01:32:48,540 --> 01:32:50,300
We could get him face to face.
Go get the press.
1380
01:32:50,370 --> 01:32:51,700
All right.
1381
01:32:53,780 --> 01:32:57,510
Well, I see naked men walking
around, naked women walking around,
1382
01:32:57,580 --> 01:33:01,910
which doesn't bother me as far as
my personal standards of nudity,
1383
01:33:01,990 --> 01:33:06,850
but it's not proper. It wouldn't be allowed
for any other parade in San Francisco,
1384
01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:09,290
and it should not be
allowed for the Gay Parade.
1385
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:49,860
I have a right to be at
this parade, Mr. Mayor.
1386
01:33:49,930 --> 01:33:51,870
I'm afraid it's not in the
interest of your safety,
1387
01:33:51,940 --> 01:33:55,060
or my public's safety to let
you into these parade grounds.
1388
01:33:56,710 --> 01:34:00,300
I'm Harvey Milk. It's an
honor to meet you, Mr. Briggs.
1389
01:34:02,150 --> 01:34:03,740
Yeah, no, I'm aware.
1390
01:34:03,810 --> 01:34:07,410
You know, it's sad, Mr. Milk, that
you're afraid to fight this out in public.
1391
01:34:07,480 --> 01:34:08,580
Oh, that's not true.
1392
01:34:08,650 --> 01:34:10,410
I'd very much like to have
a public debate with you.
1393
01:34:10,490 --> 01:34:12,720
I'm very interested in the
details of your argument.
1394
01:34:12,790 --> 01:34:16,090
Oh, well, you know,
you know the details.
1395
01:34:16,160 --> 01:34:20,060
I mean, just look at the votes across
this nation. The public is with me.
1396
01:34:20,130 --> 01:34:21,530
They are today.
1397
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:23,830
Which is why
with my city's mayor
1398
01:34:23,900 --> 01:34:26,300
and the San Francisco
press as my witnesses,
1399
01:34:26,370 --> 01:34:28,930
I'd like to challenge
you to a public debate.
1400
01:34:34,210 --> 01:34:35,800
Oh, I think
that's a yes.
1401
01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:42,840
You know, Mr. Milk, we don't allow
people who practice bestiality
1402
01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:45,390
To teach our children,
and... Excuse me,
1403
01:34:45,460 --> 01:34:47,690
and the reason we don't
is because it is illegal.
1404
01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:50,850
It is not illegal to be a
homosexual in California.
1405
01:34:50,930 --> 01:34:52,860
And your law goes
even further.
1406
01:34:53,700 --> 01:34:57,360
Any school employee who even
supports a gay person will be fired.
1407
01:34:57,430 --> 01:35:00,230
Well, that's true. But gay people
don't have any children of their own.
1408
01:35:00,300 --> 01:35:02,860
And if they don't recruit our
children, they'd all just die away.
1409
01:35:04,170 --> 01:35:06,770
You know? And that's why they're all
so interested in becoming teachers,
1410
01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:10,800
because they want to encourage
our children to join them.
1411
01:35:12,780 --> 01:35:14,370
And how do you
teach homosexuality?
1412
01:35:14,450 --> 01:35:15,470
It's like French?
1413
01:35:18,420 --> 01:35:20,790
I was born of
heterosexual parents,
1414
01:35:20,860 --> 01:35:22,950
taught by
heterosexual teachers
1415
01:35:23,030 --> 01:35:25,650
in a fiercely
heterosexual society.
1416
01:35:25,730 --> 01:35:27,860
So why then
am I homosexual?
1417
01:35:27,930 --> 01:35:29,630
And no offense meant,
1418
01:35:29,700 --> 01:35:32,570
but if it were true that
children mimicked their teachers,
1419
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:34,800
we'd have a hell of a lot
more nuns running around.
1420
01:35:42,750 --> 01:35:47,310
We were really, genuinely
frightened by Proposition 6.
1421
01:35:48,550 --> 01:35:52,750
And with Anita and Briggs gaining
strength, we were very pessimistic.
1422
01:35:53,790 --> 01:35:56,820
We didn't think that there was
any chance that we could beat it.
1423
01:35:56,890 --> 01:35:59,360
But what we did hope for
1424
01:35:59,430 --> 01:36:01,760
is that we could
organize enough,
1425
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:06,300
so that when we did lose,
all hell would break loose.
1426
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:09,500
We're still losing 60-30. We got
to take this show on the road.
1427
01:36:09,570 --> 01:36:10,970
Put out a press release.
1428
01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:14,100
Call Briggs' office, tell him he
can pick the audience, the town.
1429
01:36:14,180 --> 01:36:16,110
I'll tell my supporters
to stay away.
1430
01:36:16,180 --> 01:36:19,740
Harvey, his audiences are
intensely devout. You'll get killed.
1431
01:36:20,480 --> 01:36:22,420
Get me Orange County.
1432
01:36:22,990 --> 01:36:26,480
In your statements here and all
these newspapers and tonight,
1433
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:29,350
you say that child
molestation is not an issue.
1434
01:36:29,430 --> 01:36:31,120
If it's not an issue,
1435
01:36:31,190 --> 01:36:34,690
why do you put out literature
that hammers it home?
1436
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:38,200
Why do you play on
this myth and fear?
1437
01:36:38,270 --> 01:36:40,700
Same thing with VD, Harvey,
we put out publications...
1438
01:36:40,770 --> 01:36:41,930
This is campaign
literature.
1439
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:45,600
Well, we put out publications
about VD so you can avoid it.
1440
01:36:52,450 --> 01:36:56,080
You yourself had said that there's more
molestation in the heterosexual group,
1441
01:36:56,150 --> 01:36:59,350
So why not get rid of
the heterosexual teachers?
1442
01:36:59,420 --> 01:37:03,090
We are not talking about
homosex... About child molestation.
1443
01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:08,930
Nearly... The fact is, nearly 95
percent of the people are heterosexual,
1444
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:12,300
so, if we took the heterosexuals
out and the homosexuals out,
1445
01:37:12,370 --> 01:37:14,030
you know what,
we'd have no teachers.
1446
01:37:14,100 --> 01:37:15,330
We'd have no teachers,
no more molestation.
1447
01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:17,630
So you're saying that the
percentage of the population
1448
01:37:17,710 --> 01:37:18,970
is equal to the percentage
of child molestation?
1449
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:21,010
No, no, no,
I'm not saying that, no.
1450
01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:22,540
That's what
you just said.
1451
01:37:22,610 --> 01:37:24,880
No, no, no. I'm not saying that at
all. I am saying that we can't prevent
1452
01:37:24,950 --> 01:37:27,540
child molestation, so
let's just cut our odds down
1453
01:37:27,620 --> 01:37:31,420
by taking out the homosexuals and
keeping in the heterosexual groups.
1454
01:37:34,260 --> 01:37:37,990
Sir, in your drive
for personal power,
1455
01:37:38,060 --> 01:37:40,650
how many careers are you
willing to see destroyed?
1456
01:37:40,730 --> 01:37:45,860
How many lives, in your lust for power,
will you destroy and when will it stop?
1457
01:37:59,620 --> 01:38:00,840
Jack, what is it?
1458
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,180
Nothing. Just
wondering when you'll be home.
1459
01:38:03,250 --> 01:38:06,710
You just had them pull me out of my big
vote on the dog shit ordinance for this?
1460
01:38:06,790 --> 01:38:08,690
What, do you do
this on purpose?
1461
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:10,780
Fuck, Harvey,
it's poop, okay?
1462
01:38:10,860 --> 01:38:13,560
I just hope I'm more
important than poop.
1463
01:38:13,630 --> 01:38:18,000
Look, it's... I just... I don't
know what time I'll be home.
1464
01:38:18,070 --> 01:38:19,530
6:00 or 6:15.
1465
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:21,090
Okay.
Okay?
1466
01:38:21,170 --> 01:38:22,900
I'm all right.
I'll see you then.
1467
01:38:22,970 --> 01:38:24,460
Okay.
6/15, then.
1468
01:38:28,180 --> 01:38:30,240
Dan, how's the baby?
1469
01:38:30,310 --> 01:38:32,710
You didn't bring up
supervisor pay raises?
1470
01:38:32,780 --> 01:38:35,910
In fact, I heard that you
plan to publicly oppose them.
1471
01:38:35,990 --> 01:38:37,950
Well, I heard that you planned
to vote against them, too.
1472
01:38:38,020 --> 01:38:39,420
Were you setting me up?
1473
01:38:39,490 --> 01:38:42,320
It's not a good time for
me, politically speaking.
1474
01:38:42,930 --> 01:38:46,190
Dan, there's a vote on the
Police Desegregation Settlement.
1475
01:38:46,260 --> 01:38:48,560
You give me that and I'll
consider backing pay raises.
1476
01:38:48,630 --> 01:38:50,720
I don't trade votes.
1477
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:52,290
Unlike you,
the way I was raised,
1478
01:38:52,370 --> 01:38:55,300
we believe in right and
wrong. Moral and immoral.
1479
01:38:55,370 --> 01:38:57,970
Black skin and white
in the police department.
1480
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:01,740
Dan, even Ronald Reagan
is opposed to Proposition 6.
1481
01:39:01,810 --> 01:39:03,710
You're looking more
and more out of touch.
1482
01:39:03,780 --> 01:39:06,510
Okay, if I come out against Prop 6,
it's only going to be for the invasion
1483
01:39:06,580 --> 01:39:08,110
of state's rights issue,
that's it.
1484
01:39:08,180 --> 01:39:10,380
And the potential witch hunt
against you straight people.
1485
01:39:13,190 --> 01:39:16,750
You can't humiliate
me, okay?
1486
01:39:17,430 --> 01:39:20,450
You will not demean me.
1487
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:28,940
Harvey, we're doing the final
vote. We need to get you back.
1488
01:39:43,490 --> 01:39:44,650
Jack?
1489
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:49,480
Jack?
1490
01:39:56,900 --> 01:39:58,030
Jack?
1491
01:40:12,620 --> 01:40:14,050
Oh!
1492
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:16,140
No, Jack. Jack, no!
1493
01:40:16,220 --> 01:40:19,450
No, no, no. Jack, no.
1494
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:23,110
Jack!
1495
01:40:24,030 --> 01:40:28,160
No, no, no, no!
Oh, no!
1496
01:40:34,370 --> 01:40:35,800
Harvey,
1497
01:40:37,270 --> 01:40:38,670
look at me.
1498
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:41,540
Hey, look at me.
1499
01:40:42,610 --> 01:40:44,770
You did everything
that you could.
1500
01:40:47,850 --> 01:40:49,510
No, I didn't.
1501
01:40:50,990 --> 01:40:52,890
What more could
you have done?
1502
01:40:54,990 --> 01:41:00,050
I could have come back
at 6:00 instead of 6:15.
1503
01:41:03,070 --> 01:41:04,530
Shh.
1504
01:41:07,070 --> 01:41:10,130
Jack was gone. I didn't
have any time to mourn.
1505
01:41:10,210 --> 01:41:11,870
There was no choice.
1506
01:41:12,540 --> 01:41:15,910
I had to keep on...
Keep on fighting.
1507
01:41:17,950 --> 01:41:19,810
Most
California political leaders,
1508
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:22,940
from Governor Jerry Brown to
former Governor Ronald Reagan,
1509
01:41:23,020 --> 01:41:26,650
say there are already enough laws
on the books to protect children.
1510
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:29,120
If you allow one,
just one human being
1511
01:41:29,190 --> 01:41:32,490
to be allowed to have his
rights taken away from him,
1512
01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:34,390
as a human being
then, pal,
1513
01:41:34,460 --> 01:41:36,800
you don't have any right when
they come to take away your rights!
1514
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:39,460
You do what you want in
the privacy of your own home.
1515
01:41:39,540 --> 01:41:41,830
But don't tell me I got
to accept it in mine.
1516
01:41:49,780 --> 01:41:52,110
San Bernadino is coming in.
Not good.
1517
01:41:52,180 --> 01:41:53,510
Of course not.
How not good?
1518
01:41:53,580 --> 01:41:55,980
60% for Briggs.
Same in Fresno.
1519
01:41:56,050 --> 01:41:58,040
Oh, dear God,
Lotus Blossom.
1520
01:41:58,120 --> 01:42:01,250
Imperial is
69% for so far.
1521
01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:02,760
Put it on the board.
1522
01:42:02,830 --> 01:42:06,060
I love homosexuals,
if you can believe that.
1523
01:42:06,130 --> 01:42:07,820
I love them enough
to tell them the truth.
1524
01:42:07,900 --> 01:42:11,800
I think that if it were passed, it
would be just what some people would need
1525
01:42:11,870 --> 01:42:13,600
to conduct a very
severe witch hunt.
1526
01:42:13,670 --> 01:42:17,070
What I ask, everybody to
vote against Proposition 6.
1527
01:42:23,050 --> 01:42:27,310
The whole world is watching. This is
San Francisco we're losing. You ready?
1528
01:42:28,120 --> 01:42:31,280
I can have 15,000
people here in an hour,
1529
01:42:31,350 --> 01:42:33,720
but there's gonna be
riots if this thing passes.
1530
01:42:33,790 --> 01:42:35,620
There goddamn
well better be.
1531
01:42:36,790 --> 01:42:38,380
What are you telling me?
1532
01:42:38,460 --> 01:42:40,900
I can't say this because
I'm a public official,
1533
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:45,160
but if this thing passes,
fight the hell back.
1534
01:42:45,230 --> 01:42:47,790
It was fundamentalist
Christians who helped Briggs
1535
01:42:47,870 --> 01:42:51,430
gather most of the signatures to
put Proposition 6 on today's ballot.
1536
01:42:51,510 --> 01:42:53,740
The Christian community
had never been involved
1537
01:42:53,810 --> 01:42:56,040
in any political
controversial issue.
1538
01:42:56,110 --> 01:42:58,910
And they're not only involved,
but they're committed.
1539
01:42:58,980 --> 01:43:01,510
They've not only been working very hard,
but they're going to come out and vote today.
1540
01:43:01,580 --> 01:43:04,140
"Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself. "
1541
01:43:04,220 --> 01:43:06,850
And I would like to know
how you, Senator Briggs,
1542
01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:11,990
believe that Proposition 6 will help
children learn how to accept people
1543
01:43:12,060 --> 01:43:13,550
who are different
from themselves.
1544
01:43:13,630 --> 01:43:15,820
Harvey,
Don Amador from LA.
1545
01:43:17,430 --> 01:43:18,660
Not a good time, Don.
1546
01:43:18,730 --> 01:43:21,460
No, sir, this is Paul.
Don just gave me the phone.
1547
01:43:21,540 --> 01:43:22,660
Paul who?
1548
01:43:22,740 --> 01:43:24,600
You spoke to me on the
phone a year or so ago.
1549
01:43:24,670 --> 01:43:27,870
I'm in a wheelchair.
I'm from Minnesota.
1550
01:43:27,940 --> 01:43:30,340
I thought you were
a goner, Paul.
1551
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:34,240
When I saw that you
won the supervisor seat,
1552
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:36,780
I got a friend to
put me on a bus to LA.
1553
01:43:36,850 --> 01:43:38,790
Who do you know
in Los Angeles?
1554
01:43:40,020 --> 01:43:41,610
Nobody.
1555
01:43:41,690 --> 01:43:43,280
That's the...
1556
01:43:45,460 --> 01:43:47,220
I just didn't
want to die anymore.
1557
01:43:47,300 --> 01:43:49,530
I met your friend Don
down here.
1558
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,360
I turned 18 and I voted
today against Prop 6.
1559
01:43:52,430 --> 01:43:54,730
I don't think I'd be alive
right now if it weren't for you.
1560
01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:56,740
No, you did that all by yourself, Paul.
1561
01:43:56,810 --> 01:43:59,370
Don wanted me to congratulate
you on what he says
1562
01:43:59,440 --> 01:44:03,070
looks like a big win for us
tonight. Congratulations, Mr. Milk.
1563
01:44:08,280 --> 01:44:10,050
Yeah, I know,
it's incredible.
1564
01:44:10,120 --> 01:44:13,490
All the precincts have reported
we've won 65% in LA County.
1565
01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:15,220
It's huge, Harvey.
1566
01:44:15,290 --> 01:44:17,120
I got to go, Don.
1567
01:44:17,190 --> 01:44:22,060
We just took LA County by
65%. Put it up! Put it up!
1568
01:44:32,440 --> 01:44:33,640
Okay, okay.
1569
01:44:33,710 --> 01:44:35,540
What, Jim? Jim, what? Okay, okay!
1570
01:44:35,610 --> 01:44:37,910
The polls were way off.
Briggs is going down by 2 to 1.
1571
01:44:37,980 --> 01:44:41,310
The only place it's going to pass in
San Francisco is Dan White's district.
1572
01:44:42,480 --> 01:44:44,880
Somebody, cover up
Lady Liberty!
1573
01:44:44,950 --> 01:44:47,720
The cameras are
on the way here.
1574
01:45:31,430 --> 01:45:35,630
Tonight, it's become clear
to everyone out there
1575
01:45:35,700 --> 01:45:38,730
that they do know one of us,
and now that they do,
1576
01:45:38,810 --> 01:45:40,830
they can see that
we're not sick.
1577
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:44,110
They can feel that
we are not wrong.
1578
01:45:45,010 --> 01:45:49,580
And they know that there must
be, that there should be a place
1579
01:45:49,650 --> 01:45:54,390
for us in this great
country, in this world.
1580
01:46:00,730 --> 01:46:05,760
A message of hope has been
sent to all those young people,
1581
01:46:05,830 --> 01:46:09,460
to all of those who've been
afraid by this wave of hate,
1582
01:46:09,540 --> 01:46:13,700
to all of those who have lost
their homes, lost their hometowns.
1583
01:46:13,780 --> 01:46:19,510
Tonight, we are clear that
there is a place for us!
1584
01:46:19,580 --> 01:46:22,880
My brothers and sisters,
we can come home again!
1585
01:46:47,310 --> 01:46:49,370
Oh, good morning, Dan.
1586
01:46:49,450 --> 01:46:52,570
Morning, Harvey,
I just resigned.
1587
01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:56,980
Congratulations. I'm sure you'll
be the next President of the Board.
1588
01:47:00,420 --> 01:47:03,720
Hey, Dan.
Just got word.
1589
01:47:03,790 --> 01:47:06,090
Can we talk to you for a minute?
1590
01:47:06,660 --> 01:47:07,920
Yeah, sure.
1591
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:10,400
The association
meeting room.
1592
01:47:24,950 --> 01:47:28,080
Well, now it starts all over
again, because this morning,
1593
01:47:28,150 --> 01:47:33,350
former Supervisor Dan White says he wants
to be called supervisor one more time.
1594
01:47:33,420 --> 01:47:37,880
He gets dragged into this closed
door meeting at Police Association.
1595
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:39,480
Suddenly
he wants his job back.
1596
01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:41,150
I mean, who knows what they
might have said to him in there.
1597
01:47:41,230 --> 01:47:43,160
Or what they may
have promised him.
1598
01:47:43,230 --> 01:47:44,720
Or worse yet, if they
had threatened him.
1599
01:47:44,800 --> 01:47:47,290
A man has the right to change
his mind. Give me some peace.
1600
01:47:47,370 --> 01:47:50,900
Dan White has been the vote on the
board that has stood in our way.
1601
01:47:50,970 --> 01:47:52,740
The vote.
I get it, Harvey.
1602
01:47:52,810 --> 01:47:54,670
I've been lobbied all week.
Enough.
1603
01:47:55,940 --> 01:47:59,140
Let me remind you of something,
you're up for re-election.
1604
01:47:59,210 --> 01:48:02,480
If you reappoint Dan White, you will
lose the gay vote. They listen to me.
1605
01:48:02,550 --> 01:48:04,710
You will not be
elected dog catcher.
1606
01:48:07,660 --> 01:48:09,990
I'll make
my decision on Monday.
1607
01:48:10,830 --> 01:48:13,120
You know who you
sounded like just now?
1608
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:16,130
Boss Tweed
or Mayor Daly.
1609
01:48:18,300 --> 01:48:19,890
I like that.
1610
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:25,160
A homosexual with power.
1611
01:48:26,540 --> 01:48:28,340
That's scary.
1612
01:49:37,480 --> 01:49:39,140
Hello.
1613
01:49:39,210 --> 01:49:40,940
Yes, hold on, please.
1614
01:49:42,990 --> 01:49:44,450
Thank you.
1615
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:46,920
Yes, this is Dan White.
1616
01:49:46,990 --> 01:49:49,550
Hi, Mr. White, this is
Barbara Taylor from KCBS.
1617
01:49:49,630 --> 01:49:50,720
Mmm-hmm.
1618
01:49:50,790 --> 01:49:52,690
I'm interested
in your reaction.
1619
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:55,490
I've received information
from the mayor's office
1620
01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:58,660
that you're not
getting your job back.
1621
01:50:00,670 --> 01:50:03,570
I'm sorry, I don't know
anything about that.
1622
01:50:21,290 --> 01:50:22,520
Hello?
1623
01:50:22,590 --> 01:50:24,220
Did I wake you?
1624
01:50:26,190 --> 01:50:28,530
Harvey?
Are you all right?
1625
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:33,460
I went to the opera tonight.
Guess who I went with.
1626
01:50:34,540 --> 01:50:35,630
Who?
1627
01:50:35,700 --> 01:50:38,230
Bidu Sayao herself.
1628
01:50:38,310 --> 01:50:41,710
She was my first Puccini.
The crowd went wild.
1629
01:50:41,780 --> 01:50:46,080
I felt like I was young
again, being at my first opera.
1630
01:50:58,460 --> 01:51:01,330
Maybe you should tell me the
next time you go to the opera.
1631
01:51:02,430 --> 01:51:03,830
Really?
1632
01:51:03,900 --> 01:51:06,200
Yeah. I'd go with you.
1633
01:51:09,270 --> 01:51:10,800
I'd like that.
1634
01:51:26,920 --> 01:51:29,150
Look outside,
the sun's coming up.
1635
01:51:29,220 --> 01:51:31,220
Okay, hang on.
1636
01:51:56,020 --> 01:51:57,580
Hey, wait a minute.
1637
01:51:57,650 --> 01:51:59,780
My aide was supposed to come down here
1638
01:51:59,860 --> 01:52:01,880
and let me in the side door,
but she never showed up.
1639
01:52:01,960 --> 01:52:04,430
And you are? I'm Dan
White, City Supervisor.
1640
01:52:12,870 --> 01:52:13,990
Harvey,
1641
01:52:15,940 --> 01:52:18,410
I want you to know
that I am proud of you.
1642
01:53:00,150 --> 01:53:02,050
I don't wanna miss this.
1643
01:53:03,190 --> 01:53:04,810
Miss what?
1644
01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:08,580
This.
1645
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:16,460
Is he here? Can I see
the mayor for a moment?
1646
01:53:17,670 --> 01:53:20,190
Just a minute,
I'll see if he's available.
1647
01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:24,970
Sir, Dan White
is here to see you.
1648
01:53:29,310 --> 01:53:31,340
So, who are they gonna replace Dan with?
1649
01:53:31,410 --> 01:53:34,680
That goddamn lefty
liberal, Don Horanzy?
1650
01:53:34,750 --> 01:53:36,580
That'll really
shake up the board.
1651
01:53:36,650 --> 01:53:39,380
All I know is that we're
getting a new supervisor today.
1652
01:53:39,450 --> 01:53:42,620
If Dan shows up,
just avoid him.
1653
01:53:42,690 --> 01:53:45,160
We don't need a scene
today, do we, Harvey?
1654
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:47,250
God forbid, Dianne.
1655
01:53:49,730 --> 01:53:52,530
Mr. White,
the mayor will see you now.
1656
01:53:55,770 --> 01:53:57,100
Thanks.
You're welcome.
1657
01:53:57,170 --> 01:53:59,500
Dan, come on in.
1658
01:54:01,910 --> 01:54:03,740
It's not something that
I wanna calm down about.
1659
01:54:03,810 --> 01:54:05,580
You can't take
this away from me.
1660
01:54:05,650 --> 01:54:08,550
Dan, look,
you made a decision.
1661
01:54:08,620 --> 01:54:10,610
You know,
you made the decision.
1662
01:54:12,550 --> 01:54:16,150
The issue is what's fair to the
people of your district, Dan.
1663
01:54:16,220 --> 01:54:20,350
Now, look, take some time
off. Spend it with your family.
1664
01:55:06,710 --> 01:55:10,940
Tell President Carter we're coming
after him next, this time next year.
1665
01:55:11,010 --> 01:55:12,100
Hi, Dianne.
1666
01:55:12,180 --> 01:55:14,380
We're marching
to Washington D.C.
1667
01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:19,580
Hey, can I see you in
my office for a minute?
1668
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:25,420
Sure. I'll be back.
Yeah.
1669
01:55:43,910 --> 01:55:45,140
No.
1670
01:56:26,990 --> 01:56:29,150
Well,
you know what I think?
1671
01:56:29,220 --> 01:56:31,950
I think you need
to find a new scene.
1672
01:56:32,030 --> 01:56:33,620
And some new friends.
1673
01:56:36,260 --> 01:56:38,100
I need a change.
1674
01:56:41,470 --> 01:56:43,560
You're 40 now.
Oh.
1675
01:56:48,440 --> 01:56:53,540
Forty years old and I haven't
done a thing I'm proud of.
1676
01:56:55,420 --> 01:57:00,010
Keep eating all that cake, you're gonna
be a fat-ass by the time you're 50.
1677
01:57:00,090 --> 01:57:03,060
No, I'll never make it to 50.
1678
01:57:48,570 --> 01:57:50,160
Where is everyone?
1679
01:57:51,170 --> 01:57:52,900
Doesn't anyone
give a damn?
1680
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:56,680
Cleve's getting some people
together in the Castro.
1681
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:08,680
Last week I got a phone call
from Altoona, Pennsylvania.
1682
01:58:09,790 --> 01:58:15,630
The voice was very young,
and the person said, "Thanks. ' '
1683
01:58:16,970 --> 01:58:21,700
You've got to elect gay people
so that the young child
1684
01:58:22,300 --> 01:58:25,430
and the thousands upon
thousands just like him
1685
01:58:26,340 --> 01:58:29,000
will have hope
for a better life.
1686
01:58:30,150 --> 01:58:32,550
Hope for a better tomorrow.
1687
01:58:50,030 --> 01:58:51,500
I ask this,
1688
01:58:53,030 --> 01:58:55,970
that if there be
an assassination,
1689
01:58:57,610 --> 01:59:03,810
I would want five, ten,
a hundred, a thousand to rise.
1690
01:59:08,550 --> 01:59:12,880
If a bullet should enter my brain,
let it destroy every closet door.
1691
01:59:14,420 --> 01:59:21,620
I ask for the movement to continue
because it's not about personal gain,
1692
01:59:21,700 --> 01:59:24,860
and it's not about ego
and it's not about power.
1693
01:59:25,630 --> 01:59:28,160
It's about the
"us's" out there.
1694
01:59:29,540 --> 01:59:33,300
Not just the gays but
the blacks and the Asians
1695
01:59:33,370 --> 01:59:35,270
and the seniors
and the disabled.
1696
01:59:35,340 --> 01:59:36,570
The "us's. "
1697
01:59:40,250 --> 01:59:43,620
Without hope,
the "us's" give up.
1698
01:59:45,820 --> 01:59:49,920
And I know you can't
live on hope alone.
1699
01:59:49,990 --> 01:59:54,690
But without hope,
life is not worth living.
1700
01:59:57,070 --> 01:59:58,460
So you,
1701
01:59:59,430 --> 02:00:00,990
and you,
1702
02:00:01,500 --> 02:00:02,870
and you,
1703
02:00:03,240 --> 02:00:05,260
you got to give them hope.
1704
02:00:07,110 --> 02:00:09,600
You got to give them hope.
