Young black boys are not taught about aesthetics. Throughout my upbringing I learned a great deal of what others think a man is supposed to be. I learned about masculinity, strength, endurance, courage, Moral and all the things fundamental and essential to what "makes a man" .When I was going to elementary school I picked out a pair of white and blue sneakers that my father called "Cinderella Slippers" as an insult. To me, it was a compliment. He didn't know what beauty was. It was evident in the way he treated my mother. I soon learned what beauty was. When I was in middle school I saw a boy who I couldn't keep my eyes off of. You know the type? Tall, dark, handsome. Dreamy brown eyes, with fluttering eyelashes. It was all in a photograph and it was beautiful. When I saw him in person it was a dream come true. The most beautiful being I've ever saw with a very prestigious name to match. Diamond. My mother didn't recognize his beauty and she tore me from him. How could she not see what I saw? How desperately I wanted to be apart of his beauty , his light, longing, seeking his aesthetic. When I was in high school I showed up to my English class in shades, sea shells and a walk that said "Look at me, I'm not hiding anything" but deep down I was. I didn't know what beauty was, I looked for it in all the wrong places, my search for beauty at such a young age broke me mentally. Mothers why do you not teach your sons that they are as beautiful as your daughters?! Fathers why do you lead your sons to believe that they are not worthy of feeling beautiful? Who created the mentality that beauty is feminine? Why do we not associate masculinity with beauty? I didn't learn about aesthetics until high school. My art teacher said the word and it stuck with me. Aes·thet·ic/esˈTHedik/Learn to pronounceadjective1. concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty.Such a powerful word, to study what makes something beautiful, visually appealing, in awe to look at. I always thought I was ugly. I never imagined being the one anyone would look at as beautiful. I desperately wanted to be beautiful, to be loved, to be pleasing to the eye others, but no one saw me. I acted in ways to receive attention that put me in predicaments I'm not proud of. Searching for beauty. In college I had long hair and cut it. Who I saw in the inside didn't match who I saw on the outside. I was no longer pleased with the way I looked. Cutting it made me feel beautiful. Before cutting it...No one made me feel beautiful. The ones who did manipulated me into situations that have forever scared me. Still studying beauty. I forgave, that was beautiful, I moved on, that was beautiful and even on my darkest days, I found a Light with a name that shatters the walls of illumination. Luminous Lumens. I've never felt beautiful, I probably never will. But I will forever teach my black boys their aesthetic: The ESSENCE of Beauty.

The Trials of Being a Black Gay Man's title speaks for the book itself. It's a testament that all gay men of any race can attest to as well as friends and family members of an gay individual. It tells the story and life of a young black gay man who after 21 years of living as a heterosexual, starts to discover the hidden and suppressed feelings that he has towards being attracted to the same sex. He goes through life changing events, discoveries, heartache, embarrassment, and enlightenment. The Trials of being a Black Gay Man continues for the gentleman during his growth as he questions his sexuality, acceptance from friends, family, and his community. He talks about his experiences being a black gay man, the distrust and unfaithfulness of his lovers, the embarrassment of being outed, and the battle to understand his place in life and being true to himself as a black gay man. He is faced with challenges of understanding the gay lifestyle and experiences hatred amongst gays against their own kind. He continues with his search for love and happiness in a lifestyle that is shunned upon by society.

Giving voice to a population too rarely acknowledged, Sweet Tea collects more than sixty life stories from black gay men who were born, raised, and continue to live in the South. E. Patrick Johnson challenges stereotypes of the South as "backward" or "repressive" and offers a window into the ways black gay men negotiate their identities, build community, maintain friendship networks, and find sexual and life partners--often in spaces and activities that appear to be antigay. Ultimately, Sweet Tea validates the lives of these black gay men and reinforces the role of storytelling in both African American and southern cultures.

"In the Life, an expression which means being gay, is also the title of this collection of writings in which more than 25 black authors explore what it means to be doubly different - both black and gay - in modern America. These stories, verses, works of art, and theater pieces voice the concerns and aspirations of an often silent minority. They can be poignant, erotic, resolute or angry, but always reflect the affirming power of coming together to build a strong black gay community. Editor Joseph Beam began collecting this material in 1984 after years of frustration with gay literature that had no message for - and little mention of - black gay men. "The bottom line," he wrote, "is this: We are Black men who are proudly gay. What we offer is our lives, our love, our visions... We are coming home with our heads held up high.""--BOOK JACKET.
