After a while of searching through online resources, that Ball State’s Bracken Library offers, I finally found a few pieces that I will be reading and looking at for my fourth paper. One that stood out was a short newspaper essay about the relevance of the recent “Milk” movie. In Access World News, I found this essay because I was looking for a way to tie in the movie to my paper. It talks about people’s responses to the movie and how some older viewers thought gay rights issues were “over” but then their opinions were changed when they saw how many kids come out to see “Milk.” Gay rights is a rather large issue that the world faces today (their rights to get married, have kids, etc.) and I feel many kids in Spectrum are already facing the harsh reality of the lack of some of these so-called rights. That is why I want to talk not only about the movie but about this essay that shows a few reactions to it.
