Same-sex “marriage” and homosexual rights advocacy played a part in the Academy Awards when the movie “Milk,” about the murdered San Francisco homosexual politician Harvey Milk, took two Oscars.
Actor Sean Penn, who won Best Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Milk, said supporters of California’s Proposition 8 should reflect upon their “great shame” while Lance Black, the film’s writer, claimed that churches, the government, and families had diminished young homosexuals.
Last November, the success of Proposition 8 generated protests from Hollywood after the ballot measure overturned the California Supreme Court’s decision imposing same-sex “marriage” on the state.
Upon receiving his Oscar, Penn commented on some Christians who lined the street in protest of the acceptance of homosexuality near the Kodak Theater, where the Academy Awards ceremony was held.
