"Gay people, we will not win our rights by standing quietly in our closets. ... We are coming out to fight the lies, the myths, the distortions. We are coming out to tell the truths about gays, for I am tired of the conspiracy of silence, so I'm going to talk about it. And I want you to talk about it. You must come out."- Harvey Milk

this week we talk about the Castro district and Harvey Milk and how they helped shape America for the gay movement.
