Moonlight is more about being black than it is about being gay. And it certainly isn't a romance.
ah yes, the movie where the main character is constantly bullied for being "a faggot" is not about being gay, and the movie where the main character drives for hours to see his childhood best friend (who took his virginity) after years of not speaking just to tell him "I haven't been touched by anyone else" and it's ends with them embracing is not a romance
The movie is literally about a gay shy boy being pushed to violence and then to put on a "gangster" persona because of the homophobic nature of his upbinging ??? And yeah, obviously the reason he acts this way is due to the expectations put on black boyhood/manhood but my god, the queerness is intrisic into how Chiron is treated in his youth like the movie is about being GAY + BLACK
