Moonlight stars Ashton Sanders and Jharrel Jerome win Best Kiss at MTV Movie Awards
“This award is bigger than Jharrel and I. This represents more than a kiss. This is for those who feel like the others, the misfits — this represents us.”

“I think it’s safe to say that it is okay for young performers, especially us minority performers, to step out of the box,” Jerome added. “This award is for that. It’s for artists who need to step out of the box and do whatever it takes to tell a story and whatever it takes to make a change, to get people to wake up.”
Here’s their speech:

May 12, 00:19That moonlight movie is overrated. The gay theme the movie was trying to portray was bland. The actors were found wanting in adequately and effectively stimulating and showcasing an unparalleled wave of pure homosexual love chemistry and PDA like their heterosexual counterpart. The movie didn’t do it for me at all.

I wonder how ridiculous your other opinions are.
