Black, Gay & Christian" Author Makes Atlanta And Los Angeles Debut With Book Signing And Discussion Events
ATLANTA --- The nationwide book tour for Herndon L. Davis controversial new book Black, Gay & Christian" kicks off in Atlanta and Los Angeles a week a part and promises to bring dynamic discussion and accompanying workshops dealing with the issues of spirituality, sexuality and the politics which surround it within the black community.
Released in late February, Black Gay & Christian" is a 16 chapter gay/lesbian affirming, biblically based, spiritual empowerment tool geared towards the entire black community, and not just gays/lesbians. (http://blackgaychristian.com).
The book's author, Herndon L. Davis emphasizes that this book is one of joy and inspiration as it deals not only with the deeply rooted spiritual and cultural issues of the duality of being both black and gay/lesbian, it also targets the non-affirming black clergy and families in assisting them in their ministry and love towards their gay/lesbian loved ones and parishioners."
Davis adds that this book also touches upon and speaks up for many contemporary social black gay/lesbian issues such as parenting, homophobia on the job, and even managing personal finances, directly from a black gay/lesbian perspective."
As the Gay Marriage debate continues to swirl in the epicenter of various political, religious and cultural arenas, there is also an equally forceful initiative mounted by conservatives vying for votes from the Black Church and community in order to form an alliance against it. Hence, Black, Gay & Christian" falls squarely in the line of fire voicing the opinions, concerns and life experiences of black gay/lesbians who have traditionally led either a closeted or dont ask, dont tell" existence.
