"The only thing we have to look forward to is hope. Hope for a better world, hope for a better tomorrow, hope for a better place to come to if the pressures at home are too great. Hope that all will be all right. [...] So if there is a message I have to give, it's the fact that if a gay person can be elected, it's a green light. There's hope that the system can work for all minorities. And you and you and you, you have to give them hope." - Harvey Milk, 1978
