Hi All,

In case you haven’t already heard “Milk” starring Sean Penn is scheduled to open for limited release at Marquee Cinemas in Charleston today. My sources tell me that it will only be there for a week.

“Milk” is a movie about Harvey Milk, the first openly gay American voted into major public office. I I had an opportunity to see it in Ann Arbor last month, and it is worth the trip out to Southridge to see it.

A review can be found online at: http://www.wvgazette.com/Entertainment/gazzfilm/200901280542.
 
Movie show times are: 12:50 PM 3:45 PM 6:40 PM 9:35 PM. 
The website for the theater is http://www.marqueecinemas.com/Theaters/WestVirginia/Charleston/tabid/196/Default.aspx

When I saw it in Michigan near the new year I was surprised to get the last seat in the house. It truly is a movie that reflects our struggle for GLBT fairness and equality.

You can see many common themes we still deal with in the community today.

Next week we will have a discussion forum on the blog about the movie and it’s cultural relevance today.
