You Know Someone: Harvey Milk’s Fifty-Year-Old Message We Never Finished Hearing
-
Gus van Sant – „Milk“ (2008)Ein Film, der über seine historische Vorlage weit hinausgewachsen ist und sich heute, fast zwei Jahrzehnte nach seiner Premiere, wie ein queeres politisches Manifest anfühlt – und eine Mahnung ist. Und das nicht nur wegen der tragischen Geschichte. In Sean Penns Darstellung von Harvey Milk liegt eine Verletzlichkeit und Würde, die selbst nach dem Abspann nachwirkt. Ob Julia Klöckner ihn allerdings je gesehen hat, ist mir nicht überliefert… Mit Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch und Josh Brolin. (ZDF, Wh.)

A gay veteran sat at a sewing machine in San Francisco in 1977 because Harvey Milk dared him to give the community a symbol. His name was Gilbert Baker.

OK, this is a chapter of gay history that I was completely unaware of. Which is surprising because I’m not unread, and this was a pretty major part.
This guy‘s life was destroyed by his saving the president and homophobia towards him.#LQBT #History #OliverSipple #Podcast #RadioLab #Homophobia #1Amendment #HarveyMilk

“She was tough, you had to be,” former California Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, who was also a contemporary of Milk at the time, recalled. “But she was also lovely, she has a great heart. She did a lot symbolically because women were not involved. We all thought we were liberals, but there was under-representation of women. And she held herself with the boys.”

Harvey Milk - Reckoning
On April Fools' Day in 1994, Athens' Harvey Milk decided to pay homage to their hometown fellow band, R.E.M.
By covering all of Reckoning.
In 2024, Chunklet pressed a few hundred copies of Lance Bangs' (yes, *that* Lance Bangs) recording of the performance.
Sound quality isn't great, but it's quite fun.

Out January 23 - Harvey Milk “WhaRvEy milK” LP from Chunklet Industries.
Here are a few words on the release from Chunklet:
"One of the countless Harvey Milk recordings I’ve accumulated over the years is a spotless recording of the band performing on Atlanta radio stalwart WREK 91.1 over at Georgia Tech. The year is 1994. Harvey Milk perform their puzzling Southern Gothic dirge for the weirdos that religiously tune in to hear the vanguard of Georgia music on the Tech station."

On May 21, 1979, now forever known as the White Night Riot, thousands of members of San Francisco's predominantly gay Castro District community had marched that very route but in the opposite direction. They marched downtown to Civic Center, where they soon had the mayor, the chief of police, the city council, and three hundred cops holed up in the courthouse, surrounded by a pissed off mob, much broken glass, and a line of burning police cars. It was a glorious sight, especially the burning police cars. I'm sorry I got there late (long story) and missed the part where the mob first encountered the cops who had been sent out to stop them. The cops were severely outnumbered. They panicked, broke and ran for their lives. It was a total rout. I'll regret till the day I die having arrived too late to see that.
I got there in time for some arson, though. That was gratifying. The trick with the arson was to first expropriate handfuls of newspapers out of the municipal trashcans. I'm old enough to remember municipal trashcans on every corner in the neighborhood. I'm even old enough to remember the newspapers themselves. They were common then and easy to find. Newspapers are seldom inflammatory, but as long as they're dry, they're always inflammable. Certain comrades (I'll spare you the names) crumbled up wads of said newspapers, set them alight, and shoved them underneath the back ends of said police cars. That's where the gas tank is located. It didn't take much flame, or very much time, for the flame to set off the gasoline. A safe distance was only a short sprint away. A mighty whump was followed by an orange fireball ascending to heaven. This happened over and over, one after another. It felt transcendental. It was as if I'd led a good life and then died and this was my reward in the afterlife, which of course was absurd as reality is totally lacking in afterlife. But that's how it felt. Feelings and reality sometimes diverge. It's part of the human condition.
Little was accomplished except for the symbolism, but we all felt good about that because symbolism matters. That's not just us being subjective. That's Semiotics 101, first semester. Not just the concept of symbolism, but the symbols themselves matter, especially around here. We're a symbol-minded people. Make of that what you will. For years after White Night a popular T-shirt sold at Bound Together showed a burning police car from a photo taken that night, with the caption, "No Apologies: May 21, 1979, San Francisco". The same image became a popular wall poster in dorm rooms, squats, and collective living arrangements. It was even seen wheat pasted on unguarded public walls. An uncropped version graced the front cover of a Dead Kennedys record. It became a meme, years before social media learned what the word meme meant.
My favorite part of the riot wasn't watching all those black and whites ablaze. It was a couple of twinks with a Polaroid camera who asked me to photograph them posing in front of a charred, still smoldering, police motorcycle. They intended to mail it to their friends back east to show them the real San Francisco because, "They think all we ever do out here is take drugs, have sex, and eat Rice-A-Roni." I obliged their wishes. That's the kind of thing that happens once in a lifetime at most. Mostly it happens less often than that.

"Hegseth announces new name of US navy ship that honored gay rights icon Harvey Milk
Hegseth announces new name of US navy ship that honored gay rights icon Harvey Milk
Defense secretary said the vessel will be renamed after Oscar V Peterson to take ‘politics out of ship naming’
Edward Helmore
Fri 27 Jun 2025 14.40 EDTThe US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has formally announced that the US navy supply vessel named in honor of the gay rights activist Harvey Milk is to be renamed after Oscar V Peterson, a chief petty officer who received the congressional Medal of Honor for his actions in the Battle of the Coral Sea in the second world war.
“We are taking the politics out of ship naming,” Hegseth announced on Friday on X.
In an accompanying video-statement, Hegseth added: “We are not renaming the ship to anything political. This is not about political activists, unlike the previous administration. Instead, we are renaming the ship after a congressional Medal of Honor recipient.”
“People want to be proud of the ship they are sailing in,” Hegseth added.
The move comes amid a widespread backlash against LGBTQ+ rights and issues in the US under the Trump administration, ranging from banning books associated with LGBTQ+ causes to reducing the rights of transgender people.
Outside view of plate glass windows and person leaning against themThe oil-supply vessel had been named after the San Francisco gay rights activist, who was murdered in 1978 after serving as a city supervisor, dubbing himself the “Mayor of Castro Street”. He had served in the navy as a diving officer on a submarine rescue ship but resigned with an “other than honorable” discharge rather than be court-martialed for homosexuality."
