Hendrix is so cute.

I finally saw Milk. It was excellent. I remember that era very well. The mid to late 70's were the years during which I got married and my two daughters were born.

I vividly remember Anita Bryant. I remember wondering how someone so attractive on the outside could be so ugly on the inside. Sean Penn's performance was amazing. He WAS Harvey Milk. I remember the "Twinkie Defense" too. What an outrage that a jury would even consider that, let alone buy into it.

I don't know if you're aware, but there was an ironic bit of casting in the movie. Denis O'Hare, the actor who played the notorious John Briggs is openly Gay. Yet he played person who was in the forefront of championing Prop 6.
