Milk, Gus Van Sant's filmed biography of the later years in the life of
Harvey Milk, a great leader of the 1970s Gay and Lesbian movement and
the first openly gay politician in the United States, has just been
released. The film opened in theatres in December 2008 and is not yet
out on DVD. Sean Penn's Golden Globe-nominated performance as Harvey
Milk has already been hailed as one of the most profound and touching of
the year. Given the film's important historical content and the passage
of Proposition 8 in California in the last election cycle, as well as
the UUA's longstanding commitment to support of bisexual, gay, lesbian,
and transgender rights, a discussion guide for UUs and UU congregations
was prepared to support faithful congregational conversations on the
subject of equality for all people and related topics.
This discussion guide includes a list of resources and steps for taking
action, and was prepared by Rev. Mark Belletini, Senior Minister of the
First Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbus, Ohio. Belletini has
taught in a number of seminaries, including Meadville Lombard
Theological School in Chicago, which awarded him a Doctor of Divinity in
1994, and Starr King School for the Ministry, which is his alma mater.
He has taught worship and celebration, Unitarian Universalist history,
gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender studies, and the Gospels from a
Unitarian Universalist perspective. Find out more about the new study
guide and access versions in Word and PDF:
