Pics from the "Milk" premiere in San Francisco


James Franco and Diego Luna (All pics: Getty Images)

Last night Milk premiered in San Francisco and the film's stars were there along with some high-profile gay folks, political figures, and a whole mess of people out to honor the film's subject and support the fight against Proposition 8.

Director Gus Van Sant and Josh Brolin
 

Our own Christie Keith was there, so be sure to check back for her red carpet report later today. For now, click on through for more great pics!

I saw it last night here in L.A. and it's simply magnificent

I don't want to say much more right now. A lot is going to be said. Sean Penn is really and truly great. It's the performance of his life. All the supporting players are teriffic and I want to adopt Emile more than ever. But over and above all in recapturing that time and place in incredibly precise detail Gus and company remind us all what the gay rights movement is REALLY all about, and why the HRC and NLGTF are painfully inadequate replacements for the street activisim that set us free.

Milk on ice

It was FREEZING. Just as I was on the way out the door, I ditched my leather coat for a wool one, and I was so glad I did... it's bad enough standing for two hours in high heels, without dying of hypothermia.

And I'm a native San Franciscan and used to the foggy, windy weather here. 

Really, you'd think the bazillions of "No on 8" folks across the street could have lifted the temperature into the 80s with the fire of their passion, though! If they hadn't been there, it might have snowed. ;)

MILK AND NO ON 8 = FABULOUS!

On a more shallow note:

David LaChapelle and Drew Kuhse = GORGEOUS GAYS

(geez i love it when men put some effort into their red carpet wear.) YOWZA!!!

Diego Luna and Emile Hirsch = ADORABLY ADORNED AND HAPPILY HAIRY!! YAY

What great photos. Can't wait to see the movie.
