How far have we come in the fight for gay, lesbian, bisexual ans transgendered rights since the 1970s?
Gus Van Sant’s new biographic film MILK brings forth a chilling timeliness with parallels to the anti-gay measures passed in the last election.
Have we come a long way baby, or have we only just begun?
On today’s show we have the real-life Cleve Jones, Harvey Milk’s protegee and friend portrayed by the hunky actor Emile Hirsch in the film. Since the 1970s, he has been working tirelessly for gay rights and union organization.
On the anniversary of the assassination of Harvey Milk, Cleve conceived the idea for the AIDS Memorial Quilt, the world’s largest community arts project and memorial to the lives of over 85,000 Americans killed by AIDS.
Cleve shares his experience with the film and his thoughts on boycotts and the fight against proposition 8. Cleve is asking for the gay community to boycott Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego because the owner of the hotel gave $125,000 to Yes on Prop 8 campaign. They are having a community forum on the boycott on December 6th at the Center on Halsted at noon. Call 773.472.6469 for details.
Will we ever see a political leader like Harvey Milk again, and where’s their Facebook profile? It seems Obama won the election online, maybe we’ll find the same success as the new generation of queer youth network and organize on the internet.
Join us as Cleve answers how accurate was the movie? Was it a mistake to release the film after the November election? Was Harvey Milk’s lover Scott Smith as attractive as actor James Franco? What was assassin Dan White’s sinister relationship to the San Francisco Police Department?
And does the potential for winning an Oscar help an actor kick it up a notch on the Kinsey Scale?
Find out, PLUS- we’ve got Cleve Jones for the hour plus questions from you, our listeners.

What are some of the big issues facing gay men’s health? On today’s show we’ve got the fabulous Jim Pickett- director of Advocacy for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago and blogger for Lifelube, the gay men’s health blog.
Jim is back from the National Gay Men’s Health Summit,with an update on what new research shows about the safety of sex without condoms between two HIV infected men. You may be surprised to hear the results.
Another hot topic at the summit was how to tap into our strengths as gay people in order to fight disease and discrimination. As Harvey Milk said, “Gay is good,” and it’s about time we as a community started to believe it.
Join us as we chat with Jim about how racism affects your health, the ultimate taboo and why guys who are high strung and easily upset so enjoy the pleasure of anal delights.
