One of Karin's posts on the Tea Party concerned the suicide of Tyler Clementi and the bullying of homosexuals. This made me think of the movie, Milk, which follows the story of the politician, Harvey Milk, and being elected as California's first openly gay elected official.
The bullying that Harvey Milk must have gone through in the 70's must have been much similar to what the Tea Party wants to put homosexuals through today. While Tyler Clementi committed suicide and Harvey Milk was murdered, I would think that the struggles they both endured would have been very similar.
It's appalling how little we've come in forty years.
