Report says more powerful iPhone camera coming

At a period when gay culture is overwhelmingly white, Barry Jenkins explores the experience of queer black men and these new challenges we face The film Moonlight is extraordinary for many reasons, but to me it is most so for two. First, consideration be given to black boys to be precious, at a time when news narratives perpetually make it seem as if the United States considers them to be utterly expendable. Second, it acknowledges the effects that the stalking ghosts of premature death and incarceration have upon gay black…
