If you've been following this blog, you know that we've written a few times on the upcoming Harvey Milk biopic, directed by Gus Van Sant. (I'm totally excited for it - Sean Penn plays Milk and uber-sexy James Franco plays his lover. It's gonna be an Oscar contender, for sure.) Newly-minted Speed Racer star Emile Hirsch will play gay rights activist Cleve Jones.
San Francisco City Hall will unveil a bust of Milk - the first prominent openly gay politician in the US - on May 22, his birthday. He would have been 78.
In case you don't know, Milk was on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors when a fellow Boardmember, Dan White, assassinated him and San Francisco mayor George Moscone in 1978.
If you are in SF, the unveiling will be open to the public.
