Harvey Milk

Today for the first time, i went to watch a movie with my bro... haha...
Not bad la... he is quite a good company... it didn't feel weird...
i hope he felt the same... :)

Anyway, we watch the movie "Milk". This movie in summary, is about gay rights, everyone regardless of their sexuality shld have equal rights. Harvey milk is the first openly gay to be elected into office. He was the supervisor of San Fransico then. He help to bring an end to the proposition 6, which was a new law which would ban pple who are gays to teach. I watch the movie with great interest and this is based on a true story.

I personally don't have a disapprovement towards gay people despite my religion.
I mean, i feel that this is not up to us to judge. It's God's judgement. We should just treat them as how we would treat everyone else. It's not for us to judge their lives. We can tell them what we may think is right and wrong, but ultimately, i think it's still their decision and whatever it is, we still should respect and love them. But that is my thinking. Everyone has rights to their own thoughts. :)

Anyway, i think Harvey Milk was a great man. He stood up for what he believed in. Not everyone could have done that. And like what Emile Hirsch who played Clives Jones said in an interview. He was no saint. But he was a great man who played a great significant part in America's history. He gave people hope.
