FeedMilk Movie Now Available On DVD And Blu-ray
Written by NetBear on March 11, 2009 – 11:45 am -Thirty years before Barack Obama broke through a significant political color barrier, Harvey Milk tore down a similar wall that was obstructing America’s gay community from holding political office. The Milk movie is now available on DVD
Without hope life is not worth living.
You’ve got to give ‘em hope.
There are so very few movies available that serve to inspire and encourage gay people while accurately chronicling our history. Milk is a movie that every gay man and his grandmother should see. Like being “out,” it’s a movie to be discussed, shared and celebrated with our family, friends and acquaintances.

Sean Penn Wins Oscar For Role As Harvey Milk
Written by NetBear on February 23, 2009 – 10:46 am -If there was a surprise during last night’s Academy Awards it would have to be award for Best Actor. Sean Penn took home the Oscar last night for his portrayal of slain San Francisco gay rights activist Harvey Milk in the movie Milk and used his win to defend the right of same-sex couples to wed.
I think it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren’s eyes if they continue that way. We’ve got to have equal rights for everyone.
– Sean Penn
The straight actor’s portrayal of an openly gay politician was a timely one — with “Milk” coming out shortly after California’s same-sex couples lost their right to marry in a voter referendum.

No H8 Pays Homage To Harvey Milk Era Fashion
Written by NetBear on February 8, 2009 – 12:19 pm -Papermag paid tribute to the people that started the gay rights movement 35 years ago with a photo essay of fashion from Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood to Castro Street in San Francisco.
We can confirm that most of these fashions are historically accurate. However, all of these models seem to need a little help… eh-hem… getting their baskets together. No Castro Clone ever went out wearing underwear under his 501s.

Ghost Of Harvey Milk Appeared During Filming
Written by NetBear on November 18, 2008 – 3:00 pm -The ghost of assassinated gay San Francisco city supervisor Harvey Milk is apparently haunting the space that once was his Castro Camera Shop. Director Gus Van Sant of the new Milk movie claims that Milk’s spirit turned up at the set re-creation, where a gift store now stands.
Above is a haunting short film called 575 Castro St. by Jenni Olson. It was filmed at that re-created set, in the actual space where Harvey Milk’s camera shop was.
But what makes this a truly moving film is the audio soundtrack, an edited down version of the 13-minute audio cassette that Harvey Milk recorded in his camera shop on the evening of Friday, November 18, 1977. Labeled simply: “In-Case” the tape was to be played, “in the event of my death by assassination.”
