AnthonySEaston (12:30:31 AM): it seems a local thing that went national, that stripped its local context
theminorthirds (12:31:05 AM): it seems like, perhaps
theminorthirds (12:31:10 AM): you could take the "gay" out of the story
theminorthirds (12:31:19 AM): then try and create a narrative
theminorthirds (12:31:28 AM): and then see how the "gay", when added back in, changes the narrative
AnthonySEaston (12:31:35 AM): tell me more
theminorthirds (12:32:08 AM): 1. Assume Milk wasn't gay, or that his gayness was unknown, etc.
theminorthirds (12:32:16 AM): 2. Could the events still be explained by other factors?
theminorthirds (12:32:22 AM): 3. Explain the events.
theminorthirds (12:32:35 AM): 4. Reintroduce the gayness. Does it seem as necessary now.
theminorthirds (12:33:00 AM): 5. Tell the story without Milk's gayness/White's homophobia being the centerpiece
AnthonySEaston (12:34:33 AM): but then, i mean who cares about land use issues and intererior infighting in the mid 70s in SF


this as well, takls alot about these issues.
