MILK: Gay Rights Activist. Friend. Lover. Unifier. Politician. Fighter. Icon. Inspiration. Hero. His life changed history, and his courage changed lives. In 1977, Harvey Milk (Sean Penn) was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into major public office in America. His victory was not just a victory for gay rights; he forged coalitions across the political spectrum. From senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk changed the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights and became, before his untimely death in 1978, a hero for all Americans. Co-starring James Franco, Emile Hirsch, Diego Luna and Josh Brolin. Directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, My Own Private Idaho) from an original screenplay by Dustin Lance Black. Ray Hill who worked in the early days of the movement and Ed Barnes who lived one block from the Castro Camera shop joins to talk about Harvey. filminfocus.com/focusfeatu

This Way Out: SEGMENT #2 – Just hours after CALIFORNIA's PROPOSITION 8 was approved by the voters, several lawsuits challenging its enforcement were filed with the state Supreme Court. The constitutional amendment that overturned marriage equality passed by a 52-to-48 percent margin on November 4th. The lawsuits ask the same Court that ruled 4-to-3 to open civil marriage to same-gender couples to invalidate the measure. They argue that the state constitution’s equal protection provisions do not allow a simple majority to revoke the rights of a targeted minority. Reporter DAN FRITZ was in the chambers of the LOS ANGELES COU NTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS this week when they voted to join the City of Los Angeles, Santa Clara County, the City and County of San Francisco and others in the lawsuits challenging Proposition 8 [with comments by L.A. CITY ATTORNEY ROCKY DELGADILLO and CATHERINE LHAMON, Racial Justice Director of the ACLU OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6:29

SEGMENT #4 - Violinist PAUL FESTA had an unusual idea for a movie. “APPARITION OF THE ETERNAL CHURCH” captures the responses of a select group of listeners to French Catholic composer OLIVIER MESSIAEN's work of the same name. The openly gay musician/writer/filmmaker examines how people listen to music and how secular ears encounter sacred art. Some of those ears include literary critic HAROLD BLOOM, filmmaker JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL, actor/playwright EISA DAVIS, Broadway drag star JUSTIN BOND, and SCISSOR SISTERS singer ANA MATRONIC. The film also caught the eye of "This Way Out" correspondent DIXIE TREICHEL [KFAI-FM/Minneapolis' "Fresh Fruit"], who spoke with Festa about his unique cinematic concept and its execution (with excerpts from the music and some of the listener comments in the film). . . . . . . . . . . 8:27
