Harvey Milk:
"[last; v/o] I ask this⋯ If there should be an assassination, I would hope that 5; 10; 100; 1,000 would rise. I would like to see every gay lawyer; every gay architect come out. If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door."
[⋯]:
"⋯and that's all. I ask for the movement to continue, because it's not about personal gain; not about ego; not about power⋯ it's about the us's out there; Not only gays, but the Blacks; the Asians; the disabled; the seniors; the us's. Without hope, the us's give up - I know you cannot live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. So you; and you; and you⋯ / (2x) You gotta give em' hope..."
