This man was the queer movement's Barack Obama.
His watchword was "Come out, come out, wherever you are," and he used tactics those who recently watched Barack Obama's campaign would easily recognize: register voters, get out the vote, organize relentlessly, empower your volunteers and supporters, and spread a message of hope.
Update This quote is from a beautiful article by Christie Keith over on 365gay.com. I don't just recommend it, I consider it essential reading for any progressive. Please, head over and thank Christie for her wonderful literary gift to all of us in memory of Milk.
