Synopsis should be changed

"A 12-year-old gay who comes from a criminal family falls in love with a handsome policeman"

First of all, I think using "gay" as it has been above isn't right. It feels a little harsh in the sentence, perhaps if "boy" or "kid" was to follow it... I don't know "gay" on it's own feels like it's deliberately labelling.

But I think Maxi's sexuality, though ever-present in the film but, is irrelevant because it's more about living in poverty and has more thematical emphasis on justice and corruption than on this kid having a crush. There's a lot more to the film than is said in that sentence.

I'm not great at coming up with one myself but I don't think the synopsis on here is a good representation of the film as a whole. Is there anyway it can be improved?
