Sean Penn & Dustin Lance Black win for "Milk!"
You commie, homo-loving sons of guns... I think it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren's eyes if they continue that way. We've got to have equal rights for everyone. -- Sean Penn, Best Actor for Milk
Most of all, if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he’d want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told they are less than by their churches, or by the government, or by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value. And that no matter what everyone tells you, God does love you, and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights federally across this great nation of ours. -- Dustin Lance Black, Best Original Screenplay

btw, I thought the Oscars show was particularly spectacular last night.

It's got a great video showing couples holding up signs that say "Don't Divorce Us". Very moving.
I thought the academy awards show was very well done and quite different. I loved what Sean Penn said also..just being himself honest and "real"...good for him.
Blessings,
