Gay-rights activist Harvey Milk was the first openly-gay elected official in the United States. After multiple failed attempts in the mid 70's, he was finally elected, and served just about eleven months on the board of supervisors in San Francisco before he was brutally murdered in his office in City Hall along with the Mayor Geroge Moscone by fellow supervisor Dan White.
His life's story is an inspiration, and his death is a tragic loss that can never be forgotten.
His story was recently imortalized in the full-lenght motion picture "MILK" directed by Gus Van Sant, and starring Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, James Franco, Emile Hirsch, Diago Luna, and more. go see it today.
I just saw this movie tonight; it was beautiful! I had no idea that gays were treated so...horribly! Half of my friends are gay and my sister is as well, and I can't even comprehend the idea of them being beaten or even killed because of who they love. It makes me sick that such things happen. Beautiful picture depicting a beautiful person!
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
