With award-winning hypocrisy, Milk bundles Milk’s sexuality out of sight. This movie, far from ‘destroying every closet door’, builds a brand new bullet-proof one around it’s subject’s sex-life. (...)Why is the closet-busting film about Harvey Milk so fearful of its subject’s own sex-life? His own masculinity? (...) Probably the main reason why his sexuality has been bundled back in the closet is because that’s what today’s US gay rights campaigners are doing with gay male sexuality itself in their crusade for gay marriage. In order to try and persuade an unconvinced American public to support gay marriage under the rubric of equality, gay male relationships are being presented, rather disingenuously, as ‘just the same’ as male-female ones.
