In the 1970s, New York businessman Harvey Milk met Scott Smith, a handsome young man on his 39th birthday, and the two quickly fell in love. Later, they moved to San Francisco and opened a photographic equipment shop in partnership, doing a small business and being self-sufficient. Their small shop has gradually become a gathering place for gays in San Francisco. Milk quickly brought together a group of friends with his affinity and leadership. At the same time, he noticed the unfair treatment of homosexuals by the local government and police, which made him decide to run for politics and change the world with his own power. Although at first Milk was repeatedly defeated, with the help of a lesbian assistant, he was finally elected as a government inspector. Unfortunately, because Milk put too much energy into politics, Scott left him. After being elected, Milk used the media and speeches to expound his political views, and soon won the strong support of the mayor of San Francisco. While Milk was calling for a bill to promote the legal rights of homosexuality, Dan White, a politician who had failed in his political career, secretly launched his assassination plan.

Harvey Milk: Okay. First order of business to come out of this office is the city-wide gay rights ordinance, just like the one that Anita shot down in Dade County. What do you think, Lotus Blossom?
Michael Wong: I think it's good. It's not great.
Harvey Milk: Okay, so make it brilliant. We want Anita's attention here, in San Francisco. I wanted to bring her fight to us. We need a unanimous vote - we need headlines.
Jim Rivaldo: Dan White is not going to vote for this.
Harvey Milk: Dan White'll be fine, Dan White is just uneducated. We'll teach him.
Dan White: [suddenly appearing in the doorway] Hey, Harv! Committee meets at nine-thirty.
[to everyone else]
Dan White: Hi, you guys.
[to Harvey]
Dan White: Um, say, did you get the invitation to my son's christening? I invited a few of the other supes too.
Harvey Milk: Oh, well, I'll be there!
Dan White: Great! Thanks.
[waves at everyone and leaves]
Dick Pabich: Did he hear you?
Jim Rivaldo: What the fuck?
Anne Kronenberg: Are you going?
Harvey Milk: I would let him christen me if it means he's gonna vote for the gay rights ordinance.
Jim Rivaldo: [as Harvey is talking] I think he can hear you. Jesus.
Harvey Milk: We need allies.
Dick Pabich: I don't think he heard you.
Cleve Jones: Is it just me or is he cute?
