Harvey Milk was the first openly-gay man to be elected to public office in the US in 1977. His most recognized speech, "You Cannot Live On Hope Alone," was given in 1978, shortly before he was assassinated. His words resonate particularly today as Californians debate a resolution to ban gay marriage.

--- "Somewhere in Des Moines or San Antonio there is a young gay person who all the sudden realizes that he or she is gay; knows that if their parents find out they will be tossed out of the house, their classmates will taunt the child, and the Anita Bryant's and John Briggs' are doing their part on TV. And that child has several options: staying in the closet, and suicide. And then one day that child might open the paper that says "Homosexual elected in San Francisco" and there are two new options: the option is to go to California, or stay in San Antonio and fight. Two days after I was elected I got a phone call and the voice was quite young. It was from Altoona, Pennsylvania. And the person said "Thanks". And you've got to elect gay people, so that thousand upon thousands like that child know that there is hope for a better world; there is hope for a better tomorrow. Without hope, not only gays, but those who are blacks, the Asians, the disabled, the seniors, the us's: without hope the us's give up. I know that you can't live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. And you, and you, and you, and you have got to give them hope." -Harvey Milk, 1978

Gothenburg, Sweden, April 12th 2006
The lyrics are hard to find on the net for some reason, so i'm posting them here.
I heard a puff, I heard a blow I felt the ground, I felt the snow I thought of linen and old lace I never really saw his face I heard a grunt, I heard a moan I felt the sun, I saw the moon I saw the northern light above And the eclipse of the sun I am a breath, I am a wish I am a rocket, And a fish I felt his measures and his weight My own body as a scale You heard a whisper in my ear You are not here, you are not there I saw the northern light above The eclipse of the sun My feet was hurt, my knees were sore And I wondered why he burned And I wondered why he burned
I heard a puff, I heard a blow I felt the ground, I felt the snow I thought of linen and of lace I never really saw his face I heard a grunt, I heard a moan I felt the sun, I saw the moon I saw the northern light above And the eclipse of the sun I am a breath, I am a wish I am a rocket, And a fish I felt his measures and his weight My own body as a scale You heard a whisper in my ear You are not here, you are not there So in love that I could die The eclipse of the sun My feet was hurt, my knees were sore And I wondered why it burned And I wondered why it burned
Then I had to climb down I went up to see the sun rise And then I had to climb back up again I had to be there to see the sun rise For the air that you sent to guide me Had a tonne of elephant grey We were all there in the morning We were there and we wanted to stay Then I had to climb down I went up to see the sun rise And then I had to climb back up again I had to be there to see the sun rise For the air that you sent to guide me Had a tonne of elephant grey We were all there in the morning We were there and we wanted to stay
