1978: Assassination of Harvey Milk Back in Crime

WE. LOVE. HARVEY. MILK.

An openly gay politician was murdered in cold blood by a rival supervisor in California. Harvey Milk was able to create an eternal legacy during his VERY short time in office by being a fierce, loyal advocate to marginalized people.  SOMEHOW the murderer uses Twinkies as a defense strategy and people buy it.



We get a little emotional in this one... but we did have some fun with our pets and Sam falsely accuses Tasia of being in love with everyone. Some laughs, mostly smack talk.
