I have just seen the movie Milk. For every minute that passed of the movie, it just gave me a greater impression. It’s one of these movies that leave me with a hole inside, a mix of disappointment over humans, a hope about the future, and a believe that it should be possible to change things if you are many enough.
It’s a movie about the gay movement in the USA at the 70s. About the people officially standing in the front, but also about the “regular” queer people and the big crowd that just dared to stand up for their own life’s and/or believes. And it shows one of all occasions when the power of people together with use of the means that are available can manage to change history from the direction it first looks like it is going.
The gay movement still needs to fight in all countries in different levels and matters, but they are exactly that - on the move. It is getting better even if it still far to go. The same is for equality on all fronts, human rights, democracy and so on.
It is many fights to stand. Don’t for get the one that gives their lives in their honest fight for good. And dare to stand up for your own believes.
