one of the first openly gay people <strong>to</strong> hold elected<br />

office in United States his<strong>to</strong>ry. His words will doubtless<br />

remind viewers of the main campaign slogan of<br />

Barack Obama, at whose inauguration on 20 January<br />

a gay priest said a prayer before 4m people gathered<br />

on the Washing<strong>to</strong>n Mall.<br />

In the 1970s, the situation in the United States was<br />

completely different. In many circles, homosexuality<br />

was often considered <strong>to</strong> be a psychological deviation<br />

and a sickness. <strong>The</strong> trail blazed by Harvey Milk ended<br />

when he and then San Francisco Mayor George<br />

Moscone were murdered. Gus Van Sant’s film focuses<br />

on the last eight years of the gay and political activist’s<br />

life.<br />

Another Van Sant biopic, “Last Days”, also focused on<br />

the end period of Kurt Cobain’s life. People about <strong>to</strong> die<br />

(or about <strong>to</strong> commit murder or suicide) can be said <strong>to</strong> be<br />

a recurring theme in the direc<strong>to</strong>r’s work. In his fi lms, Van<br />

Sant explores what leads a person <strong>to</strong> make a fatal decision<br />

and <strong>to</strong> what extent they comprehend the fatal nature of<br />

the consequences of their actions.<br />

Harvey Milk became a social and political activist<br />

after he reached the age of 40 and moved from New<br />
