I'd like to im ag ine how Harvey M ilk w o u ld v iew T ha nksg iv in g one year a fter his trag ic death.

November: a month of mixed emotions . . .

By Roland G. Schembari

Cold and rainy, November is a month of contradictory emotions.The month begins as costumed Hallowe'en party-goers revel into the

wee hours of the first, and continues with the passion and frenzy of last-minute politicking prior to the November 6 election.

Then Thanksgiving Day — that uniquely Middle American holiday,capab le o f d e to na ting feelings of aliena-

co m in g to a new hom e and coopera ting w ith and be ing a ided by the native popu­lation . The coo pe ra tio n d id n 't last long and tha t "p erse cute d m in o r ity " has by n o w n e a r ly d e s tro y e d th e ir N a tive A m erican benefactors. But the idea of d iffe re n t cu ltu res w ork ing cooperative ly is the prom ise o f th is holiday.

The N ationa l M arch on W ashington was p lanned fo r a ll o f us. It was broad- based and grass roo ts. It guaranteed pa rtic ip a tio n by Th ird W orld lesbians and gays and no t ju s t token p a rtic ip a ­tion.

The N ationa l M arch on W ashington was no t run by estab lished gay o rgan i­zations that w ou ld have us a ll appear "n o rm a l” exce p t in the bedroom in the privacy o f ou r ow n homes.

The March has estab lished links that prom ise to b in d us to ge the r in a truly. N ationa l M ovement.

H arvey fo u g h t th e E s ta b lis h m e n t w hen he had to and w orked w ith it w hen he cou ld. He w as not a revo lu tionary. He was a progressive po litic ia n , a pragm a­tic one. The leade rsh ip o f the M arch w o rk e d w ith th e gay e s ta b lis h m e n t w hen the la tte r fin a lly em b ra ced the M arch. No one was le ft out.

W e haven 't w on the fina l v ic to ry , and ou r enem ies are s tro n g , w e ll-hee led , and un p rinc ip le d . But if w e b u ild on the un ity exh ib ite d in W ashington, we w ill em erge v ic to rious.

C elebrate tha t hope th is Thanksg iv­ing.
