y’all know moonlight is a black gay film. not a “queer poc” film. right?

And I’m a Greek Lesbian. Anyone calling me or anyone what there aren’t will be lynched… oh wait thats wrong? taking this shit to its logical conclusion to uts extreme but inevitible end? division is bad? I’m a person more than anything? The fact I’m human is more important than any race, sexual orientation, or gender? That dividing people is actually the enemy of peace and getting along? I’m fucking done. I’m done with your blog I’m un-following you. I’m sick of you and the rest of tumblr using identity politics to divide people into smaller and smaller groups to make us unable to vote as one and actually make a difference. The Republicans own this country from the smallest elected positions to the presidency, and yet you attack the Democrats the weak the people who are trying to help. Why? I get that it’s frustrating but attacking those who are trying to help drives us away not brings us closer. You want to make progress? Do it without me or without my vote, because I for one do not want to fight over which group is the most oppressed anymore.

liberals are dealing with a lot of political cognitive dissonance rn

Specificity, especially when it comes to recognition of accomplishments, is important for visibility to happen. It is not divisive. Notice OP didn’t say that queer poc films are bad or that those generalized groups are bad. They were saying that we should give proper crest where credit is due.

I think about love on a scale from 1 to 10. Most of us find a 6 or 7, and that’s why we have divorce. It’s the truth. We settle for that 6 or 7. But I like to think Kevin is Chiron’s 10. He’s found that and he realizes that there’s no reason to settle for a 6 or a 7 because, “I know this person is my 10. Whether or not this person believes I’m his 10, I’m going to devote my life to this person entirely.” That’s why the line where he says, “You’re the only man that’s ever touched me,” for me, was the most amazing, most beautiful thing I’ve seen in cinema, period. Because that’s what we strive for as people, to find that one person because they’re there. If Kevin doesn’t feel that they should be together, Chiron is just going to die a miserable person because that’s his person and he won’t settle for anything else. But I like to think they’re together, walking in Central Park hand-in-hand when they’re 90 years old. – Trevante Rhodes
