Abstract

This article examines the motives of violence against people who belong to
both racial and sexual minorities, as well as the reasons that may impel them
to engage in illicit behavior. In order to reach this goal, we develop the concept
of identity repertoire, a theoretical apparatus that designates a set of social prescriptions that determine the identities that can appear in the public space, an
ensemble of positive and negative representations of connected social groups,
and also the necessary institutional means to achieve various personal goals.
This concept provides parameters for an analysis of the main character of the
movie Moonlight, a person who engage in criminal activities as a consequence
of cultural associations between masculinity and criminality. This story mirrors
the situation of thousands of persons who resort to crime in order to eliminate
the frustration derived from identity-based discrimination.
