Because according to Ken, the activism came... When in the late 60s, early 70s, you had young gay men and women...
who came out of the Vietnam War protests into the world.
Took a look around.
The police are still raiding bars.
One of them has said, queer faggot, we're going to beat the shit out of you.
Some to that effect, we're going to kill you.
Got up in the middle of the street, they knocked me down and started beating me with their hands and their feet, their elbows.
Tried to muffle my screams.
So in came the activists like Harvey.
You know you're lying.
And so... Cut back to... September 22nd, 1975...
In the blink of an eye, Oliver Sybil becomes this hero.
And that same night, Oliver's friend Harvey hears about all this news and kind of senses, wait, maybe there's an opportunity here.
So he picks up the phone and he calls the columnist Herb Cain, a very, very well-known, well-loved gossip columnist.
And Cain isn't there, so Milk leaves a message on his answering machine.
And he basically says, look, I'm a friend of Oliver Sipple's.
I've known him for years.
Oliver Sipple worked on my campaign for supervisor.
So basically with without Sipple's consent.
Harvey outed him.
