Birth of an actor

In June 1970, Midtown Manhattan, New York was engulfed by a rainbow-colored heat wave.

The 12 red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple rainbow patterns symbolizing the LGBT group appeared on an almost endless parade. There were men and women in the parade crowd, including hippies, The drummers of the band also had drag queens in sexy costumes. They held up all kinds of slogans and rainbow flags, big and small, and walked from Fifth Avenue to the intersection of Christopher and Greenwich Street, with solemn expressions.

The march was to commemorate the "Stonewall incident" a year ago, while demanding the legal status and rights of gay people.

The gay community has long been silent in this country, and now they are just learning to speak out.

None of the people who participated in the parade dared to walk alone, most of them were in a group, arm in arm, close together.

Because there are a large number of New York policemen around them, and each policeman puts one hand on his belt. Looking at the gays around him is like watching a group of prisoners, and it seems that they are waiting for orders from their superiors, so that they can take action at any time.

The camera on the rails used a long lens to sweep across the parade crowd, the vigilant police, and the field of vision slowly narrowed, and on the roadside crowded with onlookers, it focused on the two men next to the ice cream truck, Harvey dressed as a hippie Milk and her boyfriend Scott Smith, like tourists, watched the parade from a distance. Milk bought two ice creams and doubled the syrup.

"CUT!" Spielberg yelled, "CUT!"

The surrounding staff immediately swarmed up, setting up the venue, removing the cameras on the slide rails and re-fixing them, and the extras serving as the set boards were ordered to stand still in place, in case there would be goofy shots after the filming resumed.

Two makeup artists looked after the makeup of William and James Franco, wiped off their sweat, and added some powder. The half-melted ice cream was taken away——James Franco took a big bite of it and dipped it in. The corners of his mouth were all over the place, and the makeup artist who was helping him put on powder gave him a hard look—he replaced two freshly frozen ones.

Two cameras focus on Willem and Franco separately, filming from a closer, face-to-face angle.

Shoot again.

"Double syrup." Scott pointed to the ice cream in Milk's hand: "If you continue to eat like this, you will become a fat man at the age of 50."

Milk took a bite of the ice cream ball, and set a flag for himself indifferently: "Don't worry about this, maybe I won't live to be 50 years old."

Scott turned his head to look at the crowd in the parade, eager to try: "Don't you want to join them?"

Milk was a little shaken, but more restrained and unable to let go: "The New York police are very difficult to deal with. They are arrogant and everywhere. If you are remembered by them, they will trouble you whenever they encounter you in the future." .I can take you to a safer place, all of our kind, but only if you promise to be careful."

"Are you someone from high society?"

Milk smiled and said, "No, I'm just an ordinary person with a bit of age."

"So you're afraid of the police?"

"I'm just being cautious. I know a lot of people here, and if someone finds out, I'll lose my job."

"Oh, you belong to the "secret" type." Scott looked into Milk's eyes: "I think you need to change your status and meet some new friends."

The camera gave a close-up of William, his cheeks twitched slightly, he thought briefly and hesitated, his eyes showed relief and determination, and the cowardice and timidity that had lingered between his brows for a long time were slowly swept away.

Eye acting is the type of acting that can best judge an actor's talent and experience. Some actors are commented that "everything looks the same", because their eyes in front of the camera are their own eyes, not the characters' eyes.

A qualified actor can only be called a qualified actor if his appearance and movements are in place. If his eyes and lines can empathize with the characters, he is already a good actor. With every movement, a vivid homosexual image emerges vividly. People who have experienced that period of history hold their breath, thinking that they have seen a real Milk.

"I need to change." Milk said to himself and Scott in an affirmative tone.

The young lover leaned over with a smile and left a light kiss on the corner of Milk's mouth.

Milk, who had already made up his mind, did not avoid it like he did in public. He accepted the intimacy of his boyfriend as naturally as possible, but the strange look from the owner of the ice cream truck still hurt him. Said in a too sure tone: "Why don't we elope together?"

Scott only asked, "Where are you going?"

……

"CUT!"

"Will, James, you played very well." Spielberg stood up and applauded first, and then others, "This scene is over, everyone can go to rest."

Most of the staff cheered, or helped to pack the props or find a place to rest, but the atmosphere in the crowd not far away was still very lively, and the conversation was even more active than before-these people who acted as parade personnel were not actually the crew The hired extras are members of gay rights organizations, and the drag queens are also real. Some even came back from the night show early in the morning and didn't return home, so they came to participate in the filming directly wearing exaggerated costumes.

James Franco seemed to be very interested in the work of drag queen. After being looked at enthusiastically by these extras, he walked over to chat, and it was no surprise that he received a lot of excited screams.William took a bottle of water, sat by the monitor while drinking, and watched the scene just now with Spielberg.

"The San Francisco city government has agreed to open Castro Avenue, and Castro's community management committee also welcomed us, and even helped persuade several stores that have been operating since the 60s to open for filming. The exterior of the store has been remodeled to have a more 70s style." Spielberg was talking with William, and glanced at James Franco not far away, and the other party was almost overwhelmed by the crowd.

William also looked at Spielberg's line of sight, and said with a smile: "Our only problem is that we hope that the residents there will not be too enthusiastic."

It’s hard to say, because according to the survey statistics in the past two years, there are more than 41 permanent residents on Castro Avenue, and the proportion of homosexuals accounts for 6%, far exceeding the official homosexual population of the United States, which is about 15%. It even greatly exceeds the average level of [-]% in other neighborhoods in San Francisco, making it the highest in the United States.

There are also special historical reasons why Castro Street has become the largest gay community in the United States and even in the world.During World War II, the United States strictly prohibited homosexuals from joining the army. Once soldiers were found or suspected to be gay, they would be expelled from the military and forced to demobilize. At that time, the transfer station for these soldiers to return home was San Francisco.The soldiers who were forced to leave the army did not dare to go home. In addition, San Francisco had developed into a big city at that time, and there were many job opportunities. These people stayed, and most of them were settled near Castro Avenue. The reputation of "a lot of homosexuals in San Francisco" attracted more and more homosexuals to come. Later, a series of events such as Milk's participation in politics occurred, and finally made Castro a paradise for homosexuals across the United States.

It can be said that Castro Avenue has a deep relationship with Harvey Milk. The local residents almost unanimously approved the filming request of the crew.

On the monitor, looking back at the shots just shot, Spielberg was very satisfied. "What do you think?" he asked William.

"I don't know which shot is better, but if you want to do it a few more times, I can do it." William said without changing his face: "When I took the tenth or twenty times, I almost threw up. But after going to sixty or sixty times, I can have a new feeling every time.”

In fact, they have been filming the scene just now for three consecutive days. The camera has stored about dozens of identical shot data. The final choice of which one to use will not be known until the post-editing. Because of the different details of each shot, the shot delivered is different. There are still slight differences in language.

Spielberg didn't ask for more shots. There were already enough shots for this scene, but he still laughed when he heard William's words: "Remember your words. When I get to San Francisco, I will still ask you to the same standard." .”

"I know." William half sighed and half thankfully said, "Thank God, after changing the script twice, my lines are much less than before."

The main line of the story of "Milk" is Harvey Milk's road to politics, which is unanimously recognized by the director, producer and screenwriter. However, Steven Spielberg and the two screenwriters also have opinions on the narrative structure of the film. Due to differences, the script of "Milk" has been changed three times.

In the first version of the script, Harvey Milk appeared at the age of 40. After meeting his boyfriend Scott Smith, the two moved from New York to San Francisco. Not long after that, Milk had the idea of ​​entering politics, and the screenwriter almost Putting all the emphasis on Milk's political career, the script is filled with long speeches and debates, and the campaign process is detailed, and Milk is portrayed as an eloquent and orator.

After Spielberg pointed out that such Milk lacks human emotion and is more like a political machine, screenwriters Larry Kramer and Dustin Black revised the script for a second version, which shows Milk's personal charm and more private life details, including Scott's love at first sight for Milk - after seeing William's stereotype, everyone said it made sense - and even arranged for him a sensitive The second boyfriend hanged himself because Milk was busy with work and neglected to care.

This time it was William's turn to think it was too much.In all fairness, maybe the screenwriter wanted to highlight Milk's greatness of sacrificing love for his career, or the greatness of moving forward after the major blow of his boyfriend's death, or maybe he wanted to imply that some people are not perfect, but in the script In the atmosphere created as a whole, this plot is not only blunt, but also abrupt, and the fundamental purpose is to serve the political plot behind it.

After some debate, the two screenwriters again revised the script extensively. Thanks to their talents and inexhaustible inspiration, the final version of the script was unanimously approved by everyone-in this final version, there will be In the opening scene, some film-style flashbacks are used, and several fragments of Milk's youth are added to pave the way for his future personality and experience.

That's important because in the previous script, the story started after Milk moved to San Francisco, and the writers didn't even mention his life before he went to San Francisco, and that was almost 40 years ago.With such a long period of time missing, many actors who just read the script and did not do extra homework—for example, most of the actors in the crew of "Milk"—will have a question, that is, Harvey Milk is How did he suddenly become a star politician with a bright future from a middle-aged businessman with a weak personality and no success?Is there no transition in between?

Just like in "The Aviator", if there was no scene where Howard Hughes' mother bathed him and told him to be careful of germs when he was a child, how would he understand his almost self-abuse cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder when he grew up?

In fact, Milk's eloquence and speech ability are first-class because he graduated from a prestigious public school, served in the Navy, worked as a stock analyst on Wall Street after retiring, and was also a producer on Broadway. He has a lot of avant-garde plays Worker friends, who have been trained and cultivated.He can become the banner of gays in the United States because he has the spirit of rebellion, often participates in anti-war demonstrations, and burns the credit card of the Bank of America in protest (the California consortium behind the Bank of America also represents the arms industry group in the South ).

Moreover, Milk has been hiding in the closet for more than 20 years. He has tasted the pain of suppressing himself, and he clearly understands that blindly hiding compromises, and then waiting for the day when this society will show mercy and treat them normally is not a way to go, only resistance Peace and struggle can be exchanged for true equal rights.

This is like the philosophical question of "Who are we? Where do we come from?" After explaining this question clearly, Harvey Milk truly walked out of history.

……

In the crew, after Milk was determined to participate in the pre-election scene, William also took off the hippie-like wig. However, this does not mean that his hair is free, given that Harvey Milk has a Jewish typical With dark, slightly curly hair and a high hairline, William will not only dye his hair dark brown, but also perm it into slightly natural curls, and dye the roots of the hair on both sides of his forehead a lighter color , creating the visual effect of receding hairlines on both sides of the forehead.

Moreover, Milk's hairstyle has to be 1988 points, it must be 2000 points, and nothing else will work-in the world political arena, the hairstyles of male politicians are basically a big back and [-] points. American politicians prefer to start from the left Split seams, this is a political metaphor, because there was a study on the hairstyles of previous US presidents, it was mentioned that most of the presidents who won the US elections wore left-sided hairstyles, and the media speculated that in [-], Albert Te Gore failed to replicate the myth of Kennedy, became the youngest president in American history, and lost to Bush Jr. in the [-] presidential election, all because he loved the right-bias too much.Needless to say, both Kennedy and Bush are naturally left-wing.

In addition to this kind of metaphysical speculation, there is actually a scientific explanation. Some fashion research shows that if men's hair is parted from the left, it will make people look more masculine and masculine, and if it is parted from the right, It will make people look more feminine.

Of course, there was no such research in the era of Harvey Milk, but it is very coincidental. People are just the opposite, and they happen to have two opposite temperaments.

The crew copied the hairstyles of the two as they were, and tried to make the length of the sideburns and the curl of the hair exactly the same as the old photos. In the words of the designer, since the actors are too handsome, they can only fit the prototype as much as possible from other places. up.

The filming of "Milk" is getting better, and there is good news from other aspects. In the list of nominations announced by the Oscars recently, Willot's "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" ushered in another bumper harvest, winning eleven. Although there are not as many nominations as "The Return of the Lord of the Rings", it is almost twice as many nominations as "The Two Towers"-in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the first one brought the most shock to the world and won a full ten. Three Oscar nominations (although it only won four), while the second film, which was more insipid in its continuation, also received the fewest nominations at six.

In addition, the Academy sent William an invitation to the Oscar nomination luncheon, and he had to take time off to go back to attend. The "Lord of the Rings" series was produced and distributed by Willlot, so William had invitations, but he would not be among the nominees. The other actors won't have this honor, but it doesn't matter, we will meet again on the night of the awards film.

Speaking of the Oscars, the Academy actually invited William to be the guest of honor this year, and he is still considering whether to agree.

William asked for leave in advance with Spielberg, and Spielberg agreed after thinking about it—it is also because San Francisco is relatively close to Los Angeles, and the plane is only over an hour away. If William asked for leave to go to Europe, he would definitely not agree. -Spielberg also deliberately filmed his scenes in advance, and gave him two days off to go home and be with his boyfriend.

Yes, William came out to Spielberg, and making a movie like this made it easier for him to be honest with those around him, not to mention that a big guy like Spielberg usually keeps secrets.

In fact, Spielberg was quite flattered by William's confession, and he solemnly vowed that unless William came out publicly, he would never tell a third person about today's conversation.

"If there is an unbreakable oath, I will also send it." Spielberg said, and worried about the many difficulties he would face in the future for William, and asked him to consider buying several newspapers and magazines, so as to prepare for a rainy day.However, when Spielberg knew who William's boyfriend was, he stopped bringing up this topic. To be honest, a person who owns the United Kingdom's United Press Group and is a major shareholder of the American Times-Mirror Group will Worried about not having the media to speak for you?No wonder William has had no heterosexual scandals for many years, and there are no homosexual anecdotes.

William didn't tell Lance about the two-day vacation, because he wanted to give him a surprise. He didn't expect that there would be surprises and shocks in the end. Only then realized that was a high hairline faked through dyeing, not that William was actually bald.

"Shooting needs." William pointed to his hairstyle and explained, a little upset about Lance's shock just now, pretending to be 'worried' and said: "Although this look is not ugly, I am still quite worried about the future haircut of the two of us. Borderline, especially if you have British genes, hair texture and hair care habits are also very problematic."

Lance didn't say anything, just showed a thoughtful expression.

Unlike William's black hair, which is thick and thick, Lance's blond hair, like other natural blonds, is thin and soft, which is not easy to style, which is why he always favors The reason for the retro oily head can prevent broken hair from running around.

"Hair is smooth and smooth, as if it has been carefully licked by Kim Cosey." William often joked about Lance.

Also, Lance's habits are very old-fashioned, not only in the fact that he doesn't like the weather to mess up his hairstyles but prefers them to stay in place, but also in the fact that he always uses oil-based pomades - which have been in fashion since the turn of the last century Hair oil, the favorite of the older generation of gentlemen - oil-based hair oil has many advantages, such as good styling and good luster, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, it is not easy to clean, and hair oil residue or excessive shampooing may cause Damage hair.

Speaking of old school, at home in both New York and Los Angeles, there is a shelf of Lance's in the bathroom to display his shaving soap, soap bowl, beard brush and razor - yes, Lance still sticks to it Traditional manual shaving - of course, and the occasional William's electric razor when he's in a hurry.

William would ridicule Lance's obsession with hair oil, but rarely comment on these shaving tools, because the scene where Lance foams and shaves himself every day is really like many old movies.Many traditions will appear outdated because they cannot keep up with the times, but some traditions will be retro and charming because of the sense of separation from the times. William often appears at the door of the bathroom when Lance starts shaving, and asks the other party to play more Bubbles, then take the opportunity to enjoy some service.

The Oscar nomination luncheon is still the same process. More than 100 nominees, academy executives, film company CEOs and many media gathered together. After the small red carpet and media interviews, there is a group photo of the nominees. The luncheon is the same as any other Hollywood banquet. No one cares whether they have enough to eat or not. People only care about whether they can take the opportunity to expand their network.

Today, Peter Jackson is very excited and very popular. The executives of the film company have been courting him, hoping that he can make a film for their company. The actors are also enthusiastic and hospitable, asking about his next film plan, and want to get a ticket. The high-level executives of the academy even praised the popularity of the "Lord of the Rings" series for increasing the ratings of the awards ceremony in the past two years, and hoped to increase the number of viewers by another 800 million this year.

"Today, I am as popular as Franklin." Peter Jackson didn't get out of the enthusiastic crowd until a few minutes before the start of the luncheon. He said to William, and he also told William that he had a feeling that he would have a good harvest this year.

William was noncommittal.In fact, the academy sometimes cares about human feelings. The three "Lord of the Rings" were nominated for Oscars for three years, and the nominations each year were not small, but the first two awards were very few, which was equivalent to being hanged by the academy for two years. A heavyweight award will definitely be sprayed to death by the media and movie fans.

Just like the expectations of the "Titanic" back then, the academy prefers upsets and likes to take popular movie stars, but it can't go too against the general trend, otherwise it will also lose its authority, and "Lord of the Rings" is popular because the work is not the actor, it just happens The Academy loves films where the actors don't overpower the film itself—the actors who play the elves are so popular that they don't get a single acting nomination.

Peter Jackson also hoped that William could attend this year's Oscars to witness the final ending of the "Lord of the Rings" series, but he was a little embarrassed to mention it.Film company executives can walk on the Oscar red carpet, because [-]% of Hollywood people depend on them for food. Nominated directors and actors can walk on the red carpet, because that night is a stage for them to show themselves. William has two identities, it stands to reason It is perfectly fine to attend the Oscars as the president of Willot, but the public is more familiar with his status as an actor. There will always be a little embarrassment for an actor who has not been nominated to attend the awards ceremony.

Although Peter Jackson didn't say it clearly, William understood his hint. After thinking about it, William told the other party that he might be able to attend as an award presenter, and that would be justifiable.

After attending the nomination luncheon, William came home and unexpectedly found that the oil-based hair oil in the bathroom had changed to a water-based hair oil that was easier to clean, and there were more products to prevent hair loss that did not exist. Of course, the packaging was without exception. And the fragrance is very high-end.There was even a beautiful little box in the cabinet, which said pet grooming and anti-shedding set, no doubt it was for Kim Cosey.

William's reaction to this - he laughed at the breakout suit and just thought Lance was cuter.

……

Before coming to San Francisco, the crew of "Milk" expected the worst situation to be the media who secretly filmed the set and maliciously hyped the news, or the local residents were too enthusiastic, and the onlookers from time to time affected the shooting.

The crew did not expect to encounter resistance from the people—is San Francisco's title of "Gay Capital" a fake? — but the boycotts did happen, and with great force.

First, the School Parents Association and Christians in a few blocks of San Francisco gathered around the gate of the city hall, holding up the words in "Leviticus", "If a man has sex with a man, it is a great evil.", "If a man has sex with a man Anyone who has sexual intercourse should be sentenced to death.”, requesting the San Francisco city government to withdraw the filming permit of “Milk” and no longer lend the venue.

There is also a group of people - who seem to be members of the Christian evangelical organization Exodus - gathered in Castro Street to protest and demonstrate every time the production started, they shouted "God is against homosexuality.", "Homosexuality is A crime against sex.”, “A man can only marry one woman.” To maliciously force the crew to stop filming, gloriously like a crusade.

The crew tried to contact these people, but these protesters were generally older and very stubborn. Their only purpose was to prevent the film from being made, and it was difficult to communicate.

Naturally, the community committee on Castro Avenue would not just sit idly by such a large-scale anti-gay protest. After several failed attempts to communicate and coordinate, they tried to drive away the group of people, but a serious physical conflict almost broke out. The crew was so frightened that they called the police directly, and even stopped work for a day.

No, it should be said that in the past week, the crew has not been able to start work properly, and this sign does not know when it will end. Spielberg and several producers are already discussing whether to temporarily abandon the live-action scene in San Francisco. Shoot other shots first, or go directly back to Los Angeles, and build a part of the street scene of Castro Avenue in the studio, which is better than shutting down work like this and wasting a lot of dollars in vain every day.

The crew of "Milk" was forced to do this, and it was really helpless. Although these troubles were not caused by the crew themselves, they were indeed inseparable from them—the subject matter of gay movies itself, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's fuse, as well as the intensified Republican-Democratic bipartisanship in this year's presidential election, have combined to lead to these chaos.

And it all started with a judgment made by the Massachusetts High Court some time ago.

Last year, seven same-sex couples from Boston sued the Department of Public Health because they were unable to legally marry. This is the famous Goodrich v. Department of Public Health case. In November, seven judges of the Massachusetts court ruled by a 11-4 vote that the state government did not have sufficient reasons to ban same-sex marriage, and that the existing marriage law violated the state constitution's provisions on freedom and equality.

On February 2 this year, the Massachusetts High Court made another judgment. According to the U.S. Constitution, homosexuals can not only organize nominal families, but also enjoy full and equal marriage rights. Because of this judgment, Massachusetts will become the first state in American history. The first state to allow same-sex legal marriage - but because it is too impractical to abolish the current state marriage law, the court gave the state legislature some time to amend the bill. It is expected that there will be no legally married same-sex couples until after May.

The ruling was a breakthrough in the fight for gay rights in the United States, but it also came as a shock to the nation, as many states in the Midwest had just abolished sodomy at a time when Massachusetts had legalized same-sex marriage.

The issue of homosexuality is inherently sensitive. In addition, this year is an election year. One of the main points of contention between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party to attract voters is gay marriage. Except for some voices of support or opposition in the statements and discussions of the state and the media, most of the people are watching rationally.

Both parties, including the two parties, are also researching new strategies for this matter. Although the Republican Party is anti-gay and the Democratic Party supports it has become a common practice - it is not that all Republicans are against homosexuality, and all Democrats are supportive of LGBT equal rights, but the Republican Party The large number of conservative state voters in New York and California, and the large amount of campaign funds donated to the Democratic Party by gay groups in New York and California have prompted them to do so-but cunning politicians always want to win over the other party's voters, not to mention a large number of middle-of-the-road voters , will often swing left and right according to the different campaign policies of the two parties.

However, one person soon came forward to break the apparent calm, and that was San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.

Newsom was only 36 years old when he won the election last year. He was the youngest mayor of San Francisco in more than a century and was also called the most handsome mayor in history.Although all the gays in San Francisco may have voted for him, Gavin Newsom is not gay. He is like a successful politician template for the Democratic Party. He is smart, tall and handsome. He has a beautiful and intelligent wife who is a San Francisco prosecutor. Belief in Roman Catholicism can be said to please all voters in every aspect, and it is not surprising that he was elected with a high approval rate.

Maybe he wanted to repay his campaign sponsors, or maybe he felt that San Francisco, as the gay capital of North America, could not lag behind other states in terms of gay rights. Less than a week after the decision of the Massachusetts High Court, the young mayor announced that San Francisco The city government allows same-sex couples to register legal marriages and personally issued a marriage certificate to an 80-year-old gay couple.

San Francisco Opens Same-Sex Marriage Registration Before Massachusetts!This news was like a hurricane, quickly blowing across the United States, same-sex couples flocked from all over the country, there was a long queue at the San Francisco City Hall every weekday, and the wedding planning company in the city center was full of appointments, and they were willing to host same-sex weddings The pastor’s reputation has increased dramatically. According to statistics, in the two weeks after Gavin Newsom’s announcement, nearly [-] gay couples rushed to San Francisco from all over the country to get married. Constantly increasing.

Gavin Newsom has become the most famous mayor in the United States, and even the White House is frequently mentioning his name.However, it is not a compliment.The mayor of San Francisco not only caused a sensation in the United States, but also caused huge controversy and fierce opposition, which was completely different from the previous legal decision on same-sex marriage in Massachusetts.

Why?In addition to the fact that both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party regard Massachusetts as an experimental field at this time, carefully testing the bottom line of the other party and voters, and because American society generally believes in "the supremacy of the law", in their view, since the state court has done Once the verdict is issued, it is already a legal fact. People in Massachusetts will not question the court's decision, and people in other states have nothing to do with it. As for the federal government?The state governments in the United States have never been afraid to confront the federal government.

And a mayor of San Francisco actually bypassed the courts, the federal government and the state government, and directly asked the city government staff to issue marriage licenses for gay groups?This is not just an administrative act, but also involves many issues at the level of law and rights.

To make matters worse, because Gavin Newsom has always been regarded as the rising star of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party regards this as an active provocation by the Democratic Party and an early game about this year's presidential election.

The issue of same-sex marriage has become the main axis of the political war between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. Except for Hawaii, which had a similar measure in the 90s, all states in the United States expressed their support. Politicians in the central and southern states that lean toward the Republican camp even jumped to criticize. The Republican states also launched a referendum to amend the constitution to prohibit gay marriage.

The White House spokesperson expressed dissatisfaction with the name-calling. The Republican Party collectively opposed it. Even many people within the Democratic Party criticized Gavin Newsom for being too bold and too radical. The American social environment is still generally conservative. Except for California, the Democratic Party of other states There are only a few politicians who clearly promote LGBT equality—not to mention the conservative media and groups, which have already begun to criticize, and even everything related to Gavin Newsom has been forced to stand on the cusp and suffer widespread criticism. malicious and targeted.

The reason why the crew of "Milk" was also implicated was that when the crew moved to San Francisco for filming, Gavin Newsom visited the crew twice, thanking them for filming historical celebrities in San Francisco's political arena, and thanking the film for expanding San Francisco. During that time, "Milk" and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's name were bundled and appeared on the pages of many media, both print media and TV media.

Gavin Newsom also spoke highly of his predecessor, Harvey Milk - yes, Gavin Newsom has been in politics since [-], until he successfully ran for mayor last year, and has been in office for eight years On the San Francisco City Board of Supervisors, the same position as Harvey Milk once-and sighed that if it hadn’t been for the misfortune, Harvey Milk might have become the first gay mayor in the history of San Francisco, no, in the United States.

However, for the arrival of Gavin Newsom, the crew of "Milk" is actually not very welcome.Yes, the mayor of San Francisco is indeed very handsome, but perhaps his handsomeness lies in his
