From his boyhood days, lived in the midst of a 1980s Miami crack epidemic, through to adulthood, the one constant in Chiron’s life has been the near-ubiquitous availability of drugs and the constant threat of violence. As a child, he was bullied at school and dealt with harshly at home by his mother; as an adult, the battleground has become his own psyche. How can he come to terms with the love he feels for his best friend? Can he accept his own sexuality?
“You have the issues of sexual identity, poverty, drug addiction. To me, one of the big ones is the idea of masculinity. I’ve been guilty of it too. I played sports and you’re in the locker room, and it’s like, “Oh, don’t talk like that,” or, “You throw like a girl”. Things like that. All the ways we reinforce these ideas we have of what masculinity looks like, how it’s meant to be presented, what’s the proper way to talk to a woman, how a man is supposed to and not supposed to look at another man, I think we all play a role of projecting this image of manhood onto our boys of all races, but in particular onto black men.“
