As I said in my review, Moonlight is a film for a non-black, non-gay, non-working class, chin-stroking, self-regarding, turbo smug audiencehttps://twitter.com/jessicakiang/status/833273853442928640 …
I loved Moonlight. I'm black, gay and working class and had no idea who you were before your racist review.

You know nothing of what Moonlight means to black gay men. It's not for you to question its relevance to us.
-
This film has just begun its journey. Many closeted gay or bisexual men won't go see it in the cinema.
-
Many working class people can't afford the cinema. But this film has a long life ahead of it and will reach those who need it.
-
This film gave me hope; it's harsh and beautiful and multifaceted. I saw parts of myself and men I've known reflected in it.
-
And though it's sad in parts it's not a tragedy. This alone was a revaluation to me. To see these black men survive to the end.

I've been so sick and tired of the dominant narratives of black/gay men being that of tragedy. I/we needed Moonlight so badly.

straight white man here. Moonlight is a good film, period. Camilla probably got rejected by a black guy once. Funny.
