This is a story about being contented in your own skin, \u003cbr\u003e but it's also a fascinating tale about the history of San Francisco from\u003cbr\u003e the 1849 gold rush through the murders of mayor, George Moscone and\u003cbr\u003e the city's first openly gay politician, Harvey Milk, to the devastation\u003cbr\u003e caused by AIDS. It captures the magic of San Francisco and the area\u003cbr\u003e just north of the city and weaves politics, the jarring events of one man's\u003cbr\u003e personal life and a city's history together from a very earthy and some-\u003cbr\u003e times brutally honest perspective.
