I should’ve made this post when call me by your name first came out but imma say it. Why are they making novels about unhealthily gay relationships into films when they could make Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz a film? A novel about two Mexican American boys and their struggles and journey through racial identity, sexuality, and finding out your place and meaning in the universe. I cried when I first read it, its so deep and philosofical, I felt like it put how I was feeling into words. It’s a life changing book, that’s so relatable and positive for teens. And it actually has a happy ending unlike most lgbt literature. So why are making these shitty novels written by straight men into films again?
