  • Thematic Review: American Gay Rights Movement Directions and Obje
    Name:_____________________________________ Class Period:______ Thematic Review: American Gay Rights Movement Although the topic of homosexuality continues to ignite passionate debate and is often omitted from history discussions due to the sensitivity of the topic, it is important to consider gays and lesbians when defining and analyzing modern American identity. The purpose of this activity is to review the struggle for respect, dignity, and equal protection under the law that so many have fought for throughout American history. Racial minorities… from slaves fighting for freedom to immigrants battling for opportunity… to modern-day racial and ethnic minorities working to overcome previous and current inequities in the American system. Women… fighting for property rights, education, suffrage, divorce, and birth control. Non- Protestants… from Catholics, Mormons, and Jews battling discrimination to modern day Muslims and others seeking peaceful co-existence in this “land of the free.” Where do gays and lesbians fit in? Once marginalized as criminals and/or mentally ill, they are increasingly being included in the “fabric” we call America. From the Period 8 Content Outline: Stirred by a growing awareness of inequalities in American society and by the African American civil rights movement, activists also addressed issues of identity and social justice, such as gender/sexuality and ethnicity. Activists began to question society’s assumptions about gender and to call for social and economic equality for women and for gays and lesbians. Directions and Objectives: Review the events in the Gay Rights Thematic Review Timeline, analyze changes in American identity, and make connections to other historically significant events occurring along the way.

    ORDINANCE No. 1 8 8 8 0 8 As Amended *Authorize the City Engineer to waive City Code upon receiving evidence to support an application to rename SW Stark Street to SW Harvey Milk Street and allow the Portland Bureau of Transportation to process the application in good faith (Ordinance) The City of Portland ordains: Section 1. The Council finds: 1. Harvey Milk was a leader for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) civil rights, a human rights advocate, a Navy veteran, a politician who became, in 1977, one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States, and a prominent figure of national significance who meets all criteria for street renaming in Portland City Code Subsection 17.93.010. 2. Prior to Harvey Milk's assassination in 1978, his work and activism extended far beyond San Francisco where Milk was an activist, community organizer, and elected City Supervisor, including successful efforts to defeat anti-LGBTQ legislation such as the Briggs Initiative in California and Measure 51 in Eugene, Oregon. 3. Harvey Milk was outspoken on state and national issues of interest to LGBTQ people, women, racial and ethnic minorities and other marginalized communities. 4. The City of Portland has consistently worked with community members to rename city streets after prominent civil rights leaders and figures of local and national prominence such as Cesar E. Chavez, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Bill Naito, and Rosa Parks. 5. No memorial or street renaming of equivalent scope in the City of Portland exists to honor the LGBTQ community. 6.

This short article provides quotations from the tape that Milk left in case he was assassinated. Although we were not able to incorporate these quotations due to time constraints, this provided helpful context for Milk's mentality that encouraged gay visibility. Milk urged those around him to "come out" and this knowledge helped us phrase some of the non-direct quotations spoken by the character of Harvey Milk in our performance. Barnes, Clive.

  • To Download the Official HARVEY MILK Biography
    The Official HARVEY MILK Biography milkfoundation.org/about/harvey-milk-biography/ OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY OF HARVEY MILK Harvey Milk, was a visionary civil and human rights leader who became one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States when he won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. Milk’s unprecedented loud and unapologetic proclamation of his authenticity as an openly gay candidate for public office, and his subsequent election gave never before experienced hope to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered (LGBT) people everywhere at a time when the community was encountering widespread hostility and discrimination. His remarkable career was tragically cut short when he was assassinated nearly a year after taking office. Harvey was born May 22, 1930, in Woodmere, New York. Harvey and his one sibling, Robert, worked in the family’s department store, “Milks”; his Lithuanian born father, William, served in the U.S. Navy and as did his spirited, independent mother Minerva, also of Lithuanian heritage, who was a “Yeomanette” during World War I. Harvey came from a small middle-class Jewish 1/5 family that had founded a Jewish synagogue and was well known in the New York “Litvaks” community for their civic engagement. He knew he was gay by the time he attended Bayshore high school, where he was a popular student with wide-ranging interests, from opera to playing football. While in college at New York State College for Teachers (now State University of New York) in Albany, where he studied math and history, Milk penned a popular weekly student newspaper column where he began questioning issues of diversity with a reflection on the lessons learned from the recently ended World War.

  • Got Jewish Milk?
    ARTICLE Got Jewish Milk? Screening Epstein and Van Sant for Intersectional Film History Helene Meyers ABSTRACT Rob Epstein’s The Times of Harvey Milk (USA, 1984) and Gus Van Sant’s Milk (USA, 2008), the two major fi lms that narrate the life and tragically dramatic death of gay politician and activist Harvey Milk (1930–1978), are widely recognized as part of the queer cinematic canon but are less often categorized as Jewish fi lms. While Epstein’s fi lm adroitly presents a “Kosher-style” Milk, the Jewishness of Van Sant’s Milk is less certain; however, a well-established pattern of gay and lesbian Jews citing Milk as one of their own—what I term “Jewqhooing”—enabled a Jewish reception of Milk. Querying and queerying the Jewishness of Milk (the man as well as the movies that purport to represent his life and times) illuminate the complex ways Jewishness continues to be cinematically conveyed or whitewashed as well as the intersections between queer and Jewish fi lm history. Harvey Milk was an iconic gay activist whose life has been the subject of two major fi lms: Rob Epstein’s award-winning documentary Th e Times of Harvey Milk (USA, 1984)1 and Gus Van Sant’s biopic Milk (USA, 2008).2 Widely recognized as part of the queer cinematic canon, these two fi lms are less often categorized as Jewish fi lms.3 Querying—or should I say, queerying—the Jewish- ness of Milk (the man as well as the movies that purport to represent his life and times) illuminates the complex ways Jewishness continues to be cinematically conveyed or whitewashed.
