I disagree with some posters analysis of the film. Yes, San Francisco has a gay community BUT the media tend to focus on WHITE GAY PEOPLE. In this movie La Mission the focus is on a Latino gay man and that's rare in a Hollywood film.

The issue of homosexuality and masculinity in communities of colour are serious.

This movie is very deep and why are people trying to ignore the issue of homosexuality in Latino culture? The movie seems powerful. I think people should give the movie a chance.

@niggerbitchhify Really? r u trying to be racist about this? Are u latino? I'm from NYC HARLEM. Latinos and Blacks lived right next door to each other. worked, played, married had babies together. Beautiful story and U missed the WHOLE POINT!!! I pity u, YOU WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING IN LIFE. I know in CALI the 2 don't mix but get over it We HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT. SMH SO SAD.

@JordanjamesX Quinceañera is the Southern California counterpart to La Mission. This movie gives the same SF stereotype, its not about gay people. Its about stereotypes. Not everyone in SF is gay. Spike Lee's Sucker Free was a better movie though even that was a little bit inaccurate. The White kid and his family moved out of the Mission to the Point, because the Mission was getting expensive. Though its really the Latino's that are being pushed out, not whites like it should in the movie.

[primaryification]

What the freak is that fool talking about. "you won't say it to a mexican"..what a bunch of illegals. I would not only say but I would spell it out in small words for you to understand. What a clown. Go back to where you belong, in the gutters of your mexico.

[ChocolateORE]

I'm glad they made this film. Many ppl from the Latino community are very reserved when it comes to homosexuality. Like they said, as long as its not your kid, it's cool. I disagree. I'm mexican and I really would like for family members to check this out.
