Ricardo Lara was elected state insurance commissioner, making him the first openly LGBT candidate to win a statewide election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all comes 40 years after the assassination of the first openly gay elected official in California: Harvey Milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, the recent success of LGBT candidates in the midterm elections would have been hard to imagine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, a conservative state senator named John Briggs was pushing a statewide ballot measure, known as Proposition 6 or the Briggs Initiative, to ban gay and lesbian teachers. Milk, an openly gay member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, led the fight against the proposition, debating Briggs around the state, and that November, voters overwhelmingly defeated Proposition 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just 11 days later, San Francisco was thrown into shock. More than 900 Peoples Temple followers of the Rev. Jim Jones died at Jonestown on Nov. 18, 1978, after following his orders to drink fruit punch laced with cyanide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, nine days after that, Dianne Feinstein, then the president of the Board of Supervisors, announced to the world that Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone had been gunned down in City Hall by former Supervisor Dan White.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I remember this so well, and it’s still traumatic,” Feinstein, now a U.S. senator, recently said on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11701374/i-get-things-done-dianne-feinstein-on-her-history-political-style-and-the-future-of-compromise-in-the-senate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KQED’s Political Breakdown\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She vividly recalls the day she found Milk’s body. “Because I tried to get a pulse in his wrist and put my finger in a bullet hole,” she said. “And it was clear he was dead.

Everybody said he had a movie star smile. He loved people. They called him the people’s mayor when he got into office, and everyone called him ‘George.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talbot wrote a new PBS documentary titled “\u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/video/moscone-a-legacy-of-change-hlozkc/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moscone: A Legacy of Change\u003c/a>” that is airing on KQED this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11708263/remembering-george-moscone-the-peoples-mayor-of-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Remembering George Moscone, ‘The People’s Mayor’ of San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11708263/remembering-george-moscone-the-peoples-mayor-of-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/George-R.-Moscone-photo-courtesy-Moscone-Family-date-unknown-Credit-University-of-the-Pacific-4-800x639.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"639\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10467212\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Often overshadowed by Harvey Milk in death, George Moscone left behind a lasting progressive legacy as a state legislator and mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“I think that was a watershed election in the history of San Francisco,” Talbot said. “It really changed things because the old establishment in San Francisco, which was essentially white Italian and Irish guys, gave way to this new guy who is also white Italian. But he wanted to open the city up to everybody. The full rainbow of San Francisco people, including Harvey Milk, who he appointed to his first commission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, the San Francisco we know today was just beginning to emerge. Art Agnos, who became mayor more than a decade later, says Moscone opened up city government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the first time, neighborhood activists in large proportions were put on commissions by Mayor Moscone, and that signaled a kind of new engagement by neighborhoods that we hadn’t seen in San Francisco before,” Agnos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘What We Were Doing Was Brand-New’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thousands of gay men and lesbians were flocking to the city at the time — some rejected by their families, others just wanting a place to be themselves. Many gravitated to the city’s Castro District, where Milk, then just a colorful neighborhood activist, owned a camera store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Cleve Jones was in his early 20s and drawn to Milk’s brand of populism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just a wonderful thing when one is allowed to participate in something that is brand-new,” Jones recalled recently. “And we all knew that what we were doing was brand-new.

On Nov. 27, 1978, less than two weeks after the Jonestown massacre, former Supervisor Dan White climbed through a basement window at City Hall carrying a loaded gun and headed for the mayor’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White had suddenly resigned from the board and went into a rage after learning that Mayor Moscone would not reappoint him. After shooting Moscone, White walked across City Hall and shot and killed Milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cleve Jones, then a student intern working for Milk, got the news while he was on Castro Street that day. He raced back to City Hall and up to Milk’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went running up the stairs to find Harvey and saw his body when I turned the corner,” Jones said. “It was just horrifying. I’d never seen a dead person before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Devastated, Jones organized a candlelight march that night from the Castro down Market Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just thought ‘Well, it’s all over now.’ But then the sun went down and people began to gather, and they were gay and straight and young and old and black and brown and white, and we marched to Civic Center and filled it with candlelight,” he said. “And I remember standing in that huge crowd and realizing that of course it wasn’t over. It was, in fact, just beginning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LGBT Representation 40 Years After Milk\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Milk, the gay rights movement has scored political victories that would have been inconceivable four decades ago. Today, Milk’s seat on the Board of Supervisors is occupied by another openly gay supervisor, Rafael Mandelman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As someone who was 5 years old when he was shot, I am continually grateful not just for Harvey but for the folks of that generation who really did change the world,” Mandelman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11707340/why-harvey-milk-still-matters-to-these-young-people\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why Harvey Milk Still Matters to These Young People\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11707340/why-harvey-milk-still-matters-to-these-young-people\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11708237\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34106_Museum.05-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34106_Museum.05-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34106_Museum.05-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34106_Museum.05-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34106_Museum.05-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34106_Museum.05-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A lot has changed in the LGBT world in the last 40 years. How much do young queer people today know about Harvey Milk? And what does he mean to them?\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But first, Mandelman notes, Milk changed himself.

The full rainbow of San Francisco people, including Harvey Milk, who he appointed to his first commission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, the San Francisco we know today was just beginning to emerge.

I’d never seen a dead person before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Devastated, Jones organized a candlelight march that night from the Castro down Market Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just thought ‘Well, it’s all over now.’ But then the sun went down and people began to gather, and they were gay and straight and young and old and black and brown and white, and we marched to Civic Center and filled it with candlelight,” he said. “And I remember standing in that huge crowd and realizing that of course it wasn’t over.

San Francisco during Moscone's childhood was very segregated, and much of Moscone's world was white and Catholic, including his St. Ignatius basketball team. But he also played ball on playgrounds around the city, and that experience — playing outside his white and Catholic neighborhood against people who were different from him — had a profound impact on him.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11706248/40-years-after-assassinations-assessing-the-legacies-of-harvey-milk-and-george-moscone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">40 Years After Assassinations, Assessing the Legacies of Harvey Milk and George Moscone\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11706248/40-years-after-assassinations-assessing-the-legacies-of-harvey-milk-and-george-moscone\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11708059\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-800x522.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-800x522.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-160x104.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-1020x665.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-1200x783.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On Nov. 27, 1978, San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone were gunned down in City Hall by former Supervisor Dan White.

"content": "\u003cp>I first learned about Harvey Milk 10 years ago when I saw the movie \"Milk,\" starring Sean Penn. I was 14 at the time and just starting to come to terms with being queer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't remember much about the movie itself, which tells the story of the San Francisco supervisor who became the first openly gay elected official in California before being gunned down along with the mayor in City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I do remember is being captivated by seeing a gay person as the subject of a Hollywood movie, and making sure that I didn't seem \u003cem>too\u003c/em> captivated — people might start to ask uncomfortable questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF05_CB81c0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, I've come out and moved to the Bay Area.

Is he more or less a part of their lives than he is mine?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I sat in on Breana Bahar Hansen's Introduction to LGBT Studies class at City College of San Francisco, which teaches students about Harvey Milk. I figured the students might — like me — not be that knowledgeable about Milk, but I was shocked when several of Bahar Hansen's students had never even heard of him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This class is really involved in LGBT issues,\" Bahar Hansen said. \"A lot of them are activists. Many of them are already doing work in the communities and are just coming here because they wanted a space to talk about LGBT issues in academia. And so the fact that so few knew [about Milk], and the ones that knew [about him] really only knew him from the lens of the 2008 film, that really surprised me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11706248/40-years-after-assassinations-assessing-the-legacies-of-harvey-milk-and-george-moscone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">40 Years After Assassinations, Assessing the Legacies of Harvey Milk and George Moscone\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11706248/40-years-after-assassinations-assessing-the-legacies-of-harvey-milk-and-george-moscone\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11708059\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-800x522.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-800x522.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-160x104.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-1020x665.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1-1200x783.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34087_GettyImages-108007553-qut-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On Nov. 27, 1978, San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone were gunned down in City Hall by former Supervisor Dan White. Take a look back at a San Francisco that was at a crossroads and the day that changed the city forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Some students were more familiar with Milk's story. Miranda LaBounty said she grew up \"with Harvey Milk mentioned in the same sentence as Martin Luther King.\" But even she was hazy on the specifics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always assumed Milk was [killed] like 50 or 60 years ago,\" she said during in-class discussion. \"That it was only 40 years ago he was assassinated? Our parents were walking around during that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So instead of the quick refresher and in-depth discussion Bahar Hansen was planning, the approach pivoted to introducing the students to Milk and his story: Born and raised in New York, Milk served in the U.S. Navy before moving to San Francisco in the 1970s and becoming an outspoken gay activist. He ran a camera store on Castro Street before he became the first openly gay elected official in California, when he won a spot on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a year into his first term, Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone were shot and killed in City Hall by former Supervisor Dan White.

Many of them are already doing work in the communities and are just coming here because they wanted a space to talk about LGBT issues in academia.

Take a look back at a San Francisco that was at a crossroads and the day that changed the city forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Some students were more familiar with Milk's story. Miranda LaBounty said she grew up \"with Harvey Milk mentioned in the same sentence as Martin Luther King.\" But even she was hazy on the specifics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always assumed Milk was [killed] like 50 or 60 years ago,\" she said during in-class discussion. \"That it was only 40 years ago he was assassinated? Our parents were walking around during that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So instead of the quick refresher and in-depth discussion Bahar Hansen was planning, the approach pivoted to introducing the students to Milk and his story: Born and raised in New York, Milk served in the U.S. Navy before moving to San Francisco in the 1970s and becoming an outspoken gay activist. He ran a camera store on Castro Street before he became the first openly gay elected official in California, when he won a spot on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a year into his first term, Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone were shot and killed in City Hall by former Supervisor Dan White. For the double murder, White served only five years in prison, a fact that shocked and disgusted the students in Bahar Hansen's class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If Harvey Milk somehow killed Dan White and Moscone, he would get life in prison,\" LaBounty said, \"but because it was a white cis[gender] straight man doing it ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it were a black guy or a trans person [who committed the murder],\" added Mikaela Kendrick, another student, \"that person would be institutionalized or still in jail to this day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of the conversations in the class touched on these ideas of race and gender identity privilege, not just for Dan White but for Milk, too. The idea of intersectionality — the way a person’s sexual orientation combines with their race, gender, socioeconomic status and other identities — is something that young queer people talk about a lot, and it impacts how they view someone like Milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do connect with him in some sense because he is a hero, and I will never sit there and say that he's not a hero because he literally died for us,\" said student Le Shawn Purcell. \"At the same time, he comes from a different background, and I don't think he encapsulated everybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Purcell said he could connect with Milk because both of them are cisgender males.

Last week, we \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/18/jonestown-cult-massacre-remembered-35-years-later/\" target=\"_blank\">took note\u003c/a> of the 35th anniversary of the mass killings at Jonestown. Just mentioning that name can reawaken the horror of that 1978 episode: the tension at the People's Temple settlement in Guyana as Congressman Leo Ryan arrived to meet with leader Jim Jones and investigate conditions there; how some Jonestown residents menaced Ryan and the journalists who accompanied him; how Ryan and others in his party were shot and killed as they prepared to fly out of the jungle; and finally, how Jones led the more than 900 settlement residents in a death ritual.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Remembrance of Moscone-Milk Assassinations\u003c/aside>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left !important; font-size: 12pt;\">Nov. 27, 2013\u003cbr>\n4:30 p.m.: Remembrance at City Hall\u003cbr>\n5:30 p.m.: March to the Castro\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Jonestown overshadowed a political drama that was playing out in San Francisco at the time — the resignation of a freshman member of the Board of Supervisors, Dan White. A former firefighter and police officer from the Outer Mission, he'd been elected in the city's first district elections in November 1977. But just a year later, he resigned the position, only to change his mind and ask to get the job back. Mayor George Moscone at first seemed willing to reappoint White to the board, then decided not to.

Kennedy assassination, a national wound that, amid \u003ca href=\"http://www.salon.com/2013/11/06/the_jfk_assassination_we_still_dont_know_what_happened/\" target=\"_blank\">unresolved questions\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2008/04/04/89365887/robert-kennedy-delivering-news-of-kings-death\" target=\"_blank\">ensuing political murders\u003c/a>, has never really healed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in the Bay Area, November is our own season of dreadful anniversaries. Last week, we \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/18/jonestown-cult-massacre-remembered-35-years-later/\" target=\"_blank\">took note\u003c/a> of the 35th anniversary of the mass killings at Jonestown. Just mentioning that name can reawaken the horror of that 1978 episode: the tension at the People's Temple settlement in Guyana as Congressman Leo Ryan arrived to meet with leader Jim Jones and investigate conditions there; how some Jonestown residents menaced Ryan and the journalists who accompanied him; how Ryan and others in his party were shot and killed as they prepared to fly out of the jungle; and finally, how Jones led the more than 900 settlement residents in a death ritual.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Remembrance of Moscone-Milk Assassinations\u003c/aside>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left !important; font-size: 12pt;\">Nov. 27, 2013\u003cbr>\n4:30 p.m.: Remembrance at City Hall\u003cbr>\n5:30 p.m.: March to the Castro\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Jonestown overshadowed a political drama that was playing out in San Francisco at the time — the resignation of a freshman member of the Board of Supervisors, Dan White. A former firefighter and police officer from the Outer Mission, he'd been elected in the city's first district elections in November 1977. But just a year later, he resigned the position, only to change his mind and ask to get the job back. Mayor George Moscone at first seemed willing to reappoint White to the board, then decided not to. One of those who reportedly urged Moscone not to reappoint White was another first-year supervisor, Harvey Milk, a gay-rights crusader and the first openly gay man elected to public office in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirty-five years ago today, I was taking someone over to the old Greyhound station on 7th Street, just south of Market.

He was just 14. Now, Moscone and his old friend Tony Taccone revisit that memory in a compelling exploration of how tragedy sculpts destiny…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ghost Light” shimmers with the force of repressed truths. Part of OSF’s insanely ambitious cycle of history plays, “American Revolutions,” this piece fuses the intimate and the epic with riveting results. While the play still feels unfinished, particularly in its second half, there’s a candor to the memoir that hits home.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Last week, KQED’s Cy Musiker interviewed Moscone about the play, his family, and the emotions he has had to cope with around his father’s death.

Why should George Moscone’s story be told, and why is that only a small piece of this story? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s actually the subtext of the entire play, the fact that he has been suppressed in the national consciousness, but also in the consciousness of the boy, the man, the son in the play. A lot of the play is about the fact that he’s repressed the kind of mourning that would keep his father alive for him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think we as a country, we don’t mourn past a certain point. Back in the 1970s when this all happened, it turned pretty quickly into the 80s and Reagan, and the city of San Francisco grew exponentially; developed so fast and it changed its look and face forever. I think what started to submerge is the need for progressive politics, the definition of progressive politics as a necessary response to a status quo that had been running the country. Now progressivism is an extremist term. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone2etchsketch.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the connection of a particular scene to his life as a boy\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone2etchsketch.mp3|titles=moscone2etchsketch]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I went to therapy when I was a kid, before my dad died, actually, and not after. Because I thought he was going to be killed, and I used to freak out and not want him to leave the house. So I remember going to a therapist, and one time I brought my Etch A Sketch with me…no, it was a Spirograph, but that’s not an easy prop to get on and off stage and to act with. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The iconography of this child’s life in the ’70s was the Etch a Sketch, the OP shirt, the watching “Thunderbirds are Go: on TV. That was my childhood. If I were to do any story of a child, I would probably reference those things. The Etch a Sketch was also his way of connecting to a reality that existed before his father died. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca>\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone3.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the main character’s self-hatred, and on his grandfather\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone3.mp3|titles=moscone3]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>…The character of Jon uses Dan White’s gun, the .38 Smith & Wesson, to motivate him into killing off a part of himself that he hates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is that part? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a hundred things. One of them is his self-hatred as a gay man. His anger at losing his dad. The part of himself that’s protecting himself. There’s a line in the play where Jon admits he always thought it was his mother who was trying to protect herself from grieving so she could hold on to her husband. But he realizes he’s the one that’s been holding on. And the boy right from the beginning is not going to let go. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That seeps into the character, so that 33 years later, what the character has done is create a kind of a shell of a human being that has a lot of self- motivated anger and cynicism and bitterness and incapacity for intimacy, and all that is in the body of a self that needs to be killed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is embodied theatrically by his grandfather, whom he doesn’t recognize as his grandfather, because — as in my story — he never met his grandfather. In fact none of us met my grandfather. He was excised from my parents life from when my father was very young. We never talked about him. All I know about him is that he was a prison guard at San Quentin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it might be an apocryphal story about him — but bringing my dad to San Quentin was one of the instigating reasons for my dad’s very strong stand against capital punishment. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone4tombstone1.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the privacy of pain and the issue of his father’s tombstone\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone4tombstone1.mp3|titles=moscone4tombstone]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What Tony’s done in the play a lot is taken stories that I told him and almost like a psychiatrist translate them into a dramatic idea. Tony asked me what the name of my grandfather is. I answered it, and he called me and said “you’re wrong.” I said “really? I had no idea.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s about owning your own. It’s so private, so private, and someone gets inside of your own privacy, which is so insinuating. But what else are you going to do when you’re not accessing him. Jon refuses to meet (the character of) Basil, so what else is Basil going to do? He ‘s going to spend hours online researching him and his father. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a site online called findagrave.com. For real. People can actually find a grave and read a grave site. It’s like people who slow down and watch accidents. Why are you watching other people’s pain? Why are you watching that happen? Why are you investigating it? It’s not yours. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I finally admitted today, as I was looking at the grave site in the play, that I used to be much like Jon’s character, kind of angry at my mother, thinking it was inappropriate that it was a small, regular tombstone in Colma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I finally admitted that my mother was onto something. It was kind of a classy move on her part to not erect a statue like Eva Peron or something. It was just about the family. He’s got a parking garage and a convention center and a couple of delicatessens and a park named after him. And the place where he died is just about us losing him. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone5memory.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On his lack of knowledge about his father\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone5memory.mp3|titles=moscone5memory]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There’s a certain jealousy of the character, toward others who perhaps know his father better.

Part of OSF’s insanely ambitious cycle of history plays, “American Revolutions,” this piece fuses the intimate and the epic with riveting results.

Why should George Moscone’s story be told, and why is that only a small piece of this story? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s actually the subtext of the entire play, the fact that he has been suppressed in the national consciousness, but also in the consciousness of the boy, the man, the son in the play. A lot of the play is about the fact that he’s repressed the kind of mourning that would keep his father alive for him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think we as a country, we don’t mourn past a certain point. Back in the 1970s when this all happened, it turned pretty quickly into the 80s and Reagan, and the city of San Francisco grew exponentially; developed so fast and it changed its look and face forever. I think what started to submerge is the need for progressive politics, the definition of progressive politics as a necessary response to a status quo that had been running the country.

One of them is his self-hatred as a gay man. His anger at losing his dad. The part of himself that’s protecting himself. There’s a line in the play where Jon admits he always thought it was his mother who was trying to protect herself from grieving so she could hold on to her husband. But he realizes he’s the one that’s been holding on. And the boy right from the beginning is not going to let go. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That seeps into the character, so that 33 years later, what the character has done is create a kind of a shell of a human being that has a lot of self- motivated anger and cynicism and bitterness and incapacity for intimacy, and all that is in the body of a self that needs to be killed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is embodied theatrically by his grandfather, whom he doesn’t recognize as his grandfather, because — as in my story — he never met his grandfather. In fact none of us met my grandfather. He was excised from my parents life from when my father was very young. We never talked about him. All I know about him is that he was a prison guard at San Quentin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it might be an apocryphal story about him — but bringing my dad to San Quentin was one of the instigating reasons for my dad’s very strong stand against capital punishment. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone4tombstone1.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the privacy of pain and the issue of his father’s tombstone\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tony asked me what the name of my grandfather is. I answered it, and he called me and said “you’re wrong.” I said “really? I had no idea.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s about owning your own. It’s so private, so private, and someone gets inside of your own privacy, which is so insinuating. But what else are you going to do when you’re not accessing him. Jon refuses to meet (the character of) Basil, so what else is Basil going to do? He ‘s going to spend hours online researching him and his father. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a site online called findagrave.com. For real. People can actually find a grave and read a grave site. It’s like people who slow down and watch accidents. Why are you watching other people’s pain? Why are you watching that happen? Why are you investigating it? It’s not yours. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I finally admitted today, as I was looking at the grave site in the play, that I used to be much like Jon’s character, kind of angry at my mother, thinking it was inappropriate that it was a small, regular tombstone in Colma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I finally admitted that my mother was onto something. It was kind of a classy move on her part to not erect a statue like Eva Peron or something. It was just about the family.
