All Boys Aren't Blue
In a series of personal essays, the prominent journalist and LGBTQIA+ activist George M. Johnson explores their childhood, adolescence, and college years in New Jersey and Virginia. From the memories of getting their teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to going to flea markets with their loving grandmother, to George's first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by Black queer children.
Both a primer for teens eager to be allies as well as a reassuring testimony for young queer people of color, All Boys Aren't Blue covers topics such as gender identity, toxic masculinity, brotherhood, family, structural marginalization, consent, and Black joy. Johnson's emotionally frank style of writing will appeal directly to young adults.
