Gay black on black

The latest Academy Award for Best Picture was earned by a film depicting the story of a poor, gay, black boy in South Florida. Moonlight , by director Barry Jenkins, has achieved great recognition for its beautiful and honest depiction of a storyline which challenges itself at every turn. Its protagonist, Chiron, grows up in the crude environment of Liberty City, Florida, surrounded by the expectations of masculinity and malice, which have been embedded in his community and thus forced upon him. The story is told in three chapters, each exploring a different identity for the protagonist: the shy and humiliated Little, the struggling and conflicted adolescent Chiron, and the quiet yet menacing Black. At its core, Moonlight cannot be simply described as a movie about drugs or violence. Its depiction of issues regarding societal pressures and familial relations is so immensely intricate and moving that it would be more accurate to describe this film to be about a floating lesson, a home cooked meal, a first kiss, and a reconnection.

'Growing up, it felt like I was too gay to be black and too black to be gay' - BBC Three

Lori Lightfoot made history on April 2 when she became the first openly gay black woman to be elected mayor of Chicago. A political newcomer, her progressive policies, personal history and status as an outsider appealed to voters. When Lightfoot first entered the mayoral race, many considered her a fringe candidate. The year-old had never held elected office, and was going up against political heavyweights such as her main opponent, Illinois' Cook County board president and Democratic Party chairman Toni Preckwinkle. Yet in the end, it was her progressive policies and her status as a political outsider that carried her across the finish line to defeat Preckwinkle easily. A reformist, she has pledged to bring greater transparency to City Hall and the Chicago police department. She has also advocated raising revenue by legalising marijuana and gambling in the city.
