Mimi and I took a night out.
It was stirring. We saw Milk - a movie which we both wanted to see very badly, and finally found just the right time to make it happen.
I highly recommend this very compelling film, about a very compelling figure in American History.
That 30 years after the assassination of Harvey Milk gay men and women still have to fight hard for rights that many of us take for granted is an indictment of our culture. That the religious right continues to wage battle against the LGBT community by asking voters to enforce their bigotry is an atrocity.
I was very moved by this film, which will serve to renew my commitment to ensuring that the church not only become a place of sanctuary for all God's children with no consideration for their sexual orientation, but also that the church actively pursue justice for all in times when there are those from within the church actively pursuing a more selective brand of justice in the name of God.
