One of the many transformations that occurs in Gus van Sant's Milk is that of the Castro from a sleepy, working-class Irish neighborhood into an epicenter of post-Stonewall gay life. But, as the GLBT Historical Society's exhibit Passionate Struggle reminds us, the fluorescence of the Castro in the '70s was but one chapter of San Francisco's very queer past. Fittingly housed at the address of Harvey Milk's old camera shop, Passionate Struggle presents many of the Society's rarely exhibited holdings through four lenses: People, Politics, Places, and Pleasures. From intimate snapshots to protest placards, and from pulp-fiction covers to the suit Milk was shot in, the objects in Passionate Struggle not only tell the stories of SF's GLBT folk, but that of the city, as well.
