Homework - Harvey Milk

In my opinion, Harvey Milk is a brave man that he was the first one who wanted to give gay people support. People always regard Gay as a guilt but Harvey think everyone should have their basic human rights, why not gay? I believe there were a lot of people didn't face this situation because it's not natural. He was a gay, but he hadn't taken this as a shame. He even came out of the closet and claimed his suggestion to gay people. It's obvious that from this video he devoted himself to giving his knowledge to gay people. That's a way to solve this embarrassing issue and he knew there were a lot of gay people who were afraid of facing it. In this documentary, his friends all love him so much. That is to say Harvey was really a kind person, but how could Dan White kill him so firmly? Did Harvey owe his money to Dan White? No way! No wonder after Harvey died, there were huge crowds of people walked on the street to mourn for him. To me, his most impressive sentence is "If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door". Is this a prediction that he would be assassinated one day? I have no idea, but I'm sure he really did his best to complete his dream.
