"I'm not the candidate - the Movement is the candidate." That's what San Francisco gay organizer Harvey Milk said as he ran for Supervisor not once but three times, finally being elected in 1977.

Milk fought for self-determination for gay, lesbian and transgendered people - but he was also in the struggle for all of what he called the marginalized "US'es" -- workers, people of color, immigrants, the poor. Milk's the subject of a new bio-pic, directed by Gus Van Zandt and getting rave reviews, best picture nods and plenty of buzz. The film's release coincides with a resurgence of activism prodded by the passage of Proposition 8 in California, re-criminalizing gay marriage. How does today's LGBT movement compare to Milk's?

We talk about movements, liberation, the movie, and Milk the man with John Scagliotti, Emmy award winning documentarian, producer of Before Stonewall, and After Stonewall. He's also the director of the Gay Filmmakers' Consortium; Pamela Sneed, poet, performance artist, and former teacher at the Harvey Milk High School in New York City. Pamela's new book is titled KONG and it's out now from Vintage Entities Press. Also with us ANN NORTHROP, co-host of Gay U.S.A. on Free Speech TV, longtime lesbian activist, and all around gadfly.
