'Milk' at 8pm on TNT
The movie 'Milk' will be shown at 8pm (Eastern) on the cable channel TNT. I haven't seen it yet, but I do plan on seeing it. The show is about Harvey Milk, the first (announced) gay man who was mayor of a major metropolitan city (San Francisco). The lead role is played by Sean Penn. Please, if you have any thoughts, share them with us. Thanks.

ezs note: It's about halfway down, so you might miss it. One study showed 1 to 1.6 percent of middle to high schoolers were either gender variant or transgender - a sharp increase from the average of the paleolithic times where 1 in 10,000 was considered "normal".
So much for principals calling us "freaks".
