“Moonlight Chicken understands the difference between gay-as-entertainment and commentary about gayness.”
I believe this comment is an excellent commentary on this series and the importance of it to the industry.
The story moves away from the traditional bl type into what it is really like to be gay and live a gay life. The characters and backstories resonate to anyone who is part of the community. We all are or know someone like one or more if the characters depicted.
A lot of comments here criticising Eiw for being a "weak cry baby uke", and wanting stronger more masculine leads…
You brought up a serious topic and I thank you for your comment here. There are so many young or questioning 🏳️🌈 who read these comments and are forming a perceived worth and value in if they are “too gay”, “ “too feminine”, “too weak”. This negative and destructive rhetoric is leading to a gay epidemic of self hated, unhealthy self destructive choices and in some cases death!
As a licensed clinician, we are seeing gay men in crisis. They believe this type of negative and destructive rhetoric that is being perpetuated here! There are many different forms this presents , not all but not limited to just one, by depression, substance abuse , unsafe sex practices, victim of domestic violence, fractured relationships with family of origin, lack of social peers, isolation and have suicide ideology.
It is important to reaffirm people for who they are. I recommend mental health services if anyone has any concerns or fears. Many centers and clinics are on a sliding fee scale. They’re also training facilities (always supervised by a licensed clinician ) at local universities which you get excellent help at little to no cost.
Please know you are worthy and we need your contribution to make this world a better place!

“take note that by criticising the portrayal of queer men who are effeminate and emotional, you're not really making the inclusive and pro queer-diversity statement you think you're making.”
Thank you! THIS comment is perfection! It is well written and desperately needed! The negativity and erroneous stereotypes being displayed are filled with hatred towards those in the gay community that are not exactly like them.
A fantastic review of a fantastic series! I so enjoyed reliving this series through your descriptive and informative post review!
I give this review a 10 out of 10 ! I give the series a 10 out of 10!
My wish for viewers in the future is to definitely give this series a watch! They will be pleasantly surprised and join in the chorus of Hallelujah Amen 🙏!
I must be getting old but I think I’m actually okay with Mon taking control of her life and going to England! Who needs all this drama in their life! She is young, she will find someone else!
I’m not actually even upset with Sam. I get how hard it is culturally and emotionally to disengage from family. So I will give her a pass and wish her peace in this life that she won’t be happy in.
Of course that probably won’t happen and Sam will leave Kurt at the altar and run after Mon!

It’s felt like HOME 🏡 to me!
ETA: this comment is no way meant to be a commentary on this show. I just happened to see the saying and thought it was funny!
