| Reenactment #11: Harvey |
 |
The Eleventh of my Re-enactment series.
Prediction: this may be my least watched
video. Why? Because it's not exactly a
current film. It's a classic James Stewart
film called Harvey. It's about a man named
Elwood P. Dowd who has an imaginary friend, a
six-foot tall rabbit named Harvey. In this
scene, he explains to his doctor in an
alleyway (aka my basement) how he met Harvey.
His doctor, of course, doesn't believe him.
For those of you who have seen Harvey, please
enjoy my rendition of it.

| Got Hope? Harvey Milk. |
 |
Harvey Milk was the first openly-gay man to
be elected to public office in the US in
1977. His most recognized speech, "You Cannot
Live On Hope Alone," was given in 1978,
shortly before he was assassinated. His words
resonate particularly today as Californians
debate a resolution to ban gay marriage.

"Somewhere in Des Moines or San Antonio there
is a young gay person who all the sudden
realizes that he or she is gay; knows that if
their parents find out they will be tossed
out of the house, their classmates will taunt
the child, and the Anita Bryant's and John
Briggs' are doing their part on TV. And that
child has several options: staying in the
closet, and suicide. And then one day that
child might open the paper that says
"Homosexual elected in San Francisco" and
there are two new options: the option is to
go to California, or stay in San Antonio and
fight. Two days after I was elected I got a
phone call and the voice was quite young. It
was from Altoona, Pennsylvania. And the
person said "Thanks". And you've got to elect
gay people, so that thousand upon thousands
like that child know that there is hope for a
better world; there is hope for a better
tomorrow. Without hope, not only gays, but
those who are blacks, the Asians, the
disabled, the seniors, the us's: without hope
the us's give up. I know that you can't live
on hope alone, but without it, life is not
worth living. And you, and you, and you, and
you have got to give them hope."
-Harvey Milk, 1978
