IT AFFECTS GOVERNMENT.

IT AFFECTS EVERYTHING.

Guerriero:

THIS WHOLE ISSUE REALLY DOES

IMPACT THE PUBLIC-POLICY ARENA.

IT AFFECTS SOME OF OUR NATION'S

MOST SIGNIFICAN AND POWERFUL INDIVIDUALS

AND IT'S WHY

MY HOPE IS THA THIS NEXT GENERATION

OF YOUNG AMERICAN LEADERS

DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SUFFOCATED

IN THE MIDST OF A CULTURAL WAR

THAT HOPEFULLY HAS ENDED

BY THE TIME THEY REACH

WASHINGTON, D.C.

I REALLY DO BELIEVE,

AND I'VE ALWAYS FELT THIS,

THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

A GAY PERSON CAN DO

WITH RESPECT TO:

THE SOCIAL-JUSTICE ISSUES

AROUND HOMOSEXUALITY

IS SIMPLY TO BE OUT.

AND IT STAGGERS ME TODAY

THAT SO MANY ARE NOT.

IF EVERY GAY PERSON WERE

TO COME OUT OF THE CLOSET,

THE GAY RIGHTS MOVEMEN WOULD BE OVER.

THAT'S THE SLEEPING GIAN OF THE MOVEMENT--

IS ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE

IN THE CLOSET COMING OU EN MASSE

AND IT WOULD BE DONE.

Harvey Milk:

If every gay person

in this state

came out--

came out to their family,

their friends,

we would win.

But that means that every

gay person must come out

to their families

so their family doesn't

vote against them,

to their friends, if they

are indeed their friends,

to their relatives,

to the people where

they work,

and to their

next-door neighbors.

Nobody else.

If that happened across

the state, we'd win.
