Time goes by and love remains

I've written a separate post about the meaning of the fight, but I just want to talk about Scott, Milk's boyfriend, out of selfishness.

Yes there are others, but I think they are different.

I liked Scott so much, from the moment they met on the subway, he, the wonderful atmosphere with the two of them. Even if Milk's wrinkled smile and a little bit of sycophancy didn't fit my aesthetic at the time. But seeing them smiling and kissing and hugging makes me feel happy from the bottom of my heart. The smile on Scott's lips was so touching, and the long kiss on the street in front of their store was very beautiful.

I thought of Derek Garman and his HB from the beginning, very similar feeling. The same young and handsome lovers, standing by their side, fighting with them, against those despicable people with ulterior motives, taking care of them, smiling slowly to them, sweet and tender, and full of love in their eyes.

I was so sad when Scott left. I think he was just tired for a while, how could he dump Milk and dump between them.

That small photo studio, and even the entire gay movement, were built from scratch by them, together.

So it was nice to see that he had been silently supporting Milk, and that he continued to carry out the gay movement after his death. Moved by being proven.

In that dark and narrow hallway, when Milk said I miss you, I don't think there can be a more sincere confession than that.

Finally, when he calls him late at night after watching the opera, I think he still loves him after all, and he can only cry to him after all.

how nice. They truly love each other, regardless of whether they are together or not.



Regarding Jack, I always thought he was not good enough, very bad, I even worried that he would hinder Milk or even destroy him. But at 6:15 that afternoon, when Milk came home, I thought it was an ordinary run away, so when the curtain was lifted and I saw that ending, I instantly forgave Jack for everything.

He never wanted to destroy him, he was just a vulnerable person who needed love too much.

I realized later that maybe both relationships were important to Milk, and together they proved that this indomitable fighter sacrificed something more precious than his life.

    Before any changes occur, the government must at least give the people the right to discuss. This is what many democratic regimes have worked hard to achieve, and it is also a prerequisite for any democratic process to take place.

Milk quotes

  • Harvey Milk: [to Cleve Jones] You're going to meet the most extraordinary men, the sexiest, brightest, funniest men, and you're going to fall in love with so many of them, and you won't know until the end of your life who your greatest friends were or your greatest love was.

  • 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?
