Oscar likes Milk.

Well we all wish the movie Milk would have won Best Picture...but the movie managed to pull a few big wins. Sean Penn won the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of Harvey Milk. Even with his reputation of being extremely difficult to work with...his speech was great and heart-felt. Way to go Sean.

Milk also managed to snag the 'Best Original Screenplay'. Dustin Lance Black was the winner and had a powerful speech. It couldn't have been said any better in such a short speech. Congratulations Dustin!

I love Dustin's comment that the gay marriage rights will come 'soon' and will be Federal. That is what our community needs. FEDERAL marriage rights. The process of going state-by-state is not the right way to move. This issue is a human rights issue and should not be left in each state's hands. Imagine if we left slavery in the hands of each state. How many states do you think would still have it on their books? Scary to think about.
