The Oscar parts local tv censored

"Milk", the movie about slain gay leader Harvey Milk, won Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay.

As usual, any positive portrayal or speech about gay people was censored by local broadcast (imagine trying to do that to other minorities!).

The speech by Best Original Screenplay winner Dustin Lance Black is important, so I'll just put it up here.

And the acceptance speech by Sean Penn for winning Best Actor is also cool. When I watched his performance, even my gaydar was fooled by his acting. Amazing!
