Catholic University of America has canceled a planned screening of the film "Milk," which portrays the life of Harvey Milk, the gay rights leader. The event was sponsored by the College Democrats at Catholic, and they have criticized the decision to block the event. A statement from the university said that the event could be rescheduled later. The problem was not the film, the statement said, but that advertisements for the event said that it was the kickoff for LGBT Awareness Month at the university. Connecting the film to a month promoting gay awareness, the university said, "called into question whether the event had changed in nature from one of education to one of advocacy."
