All Boys Aren't Blue by George M Johnson

*NOTE: This book will not be stocked or shipped from me, this will be shipped from an indie bookstore warehouse so it will not be giftwrapped like my other books, combining this with other books that I ship myself will result in a double charge for shipping ($11 for media mail vs $5.50) because you are technically paying for two shipping labels*

In a series of personal essays, prominent journalist and LGBTQIA+ activist George M. Johnson explores his childhood, adolescence, and college years in New Jersey and Virginia. From the memories of getting his teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with his loving grandmother, to his first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by Black queer boys.

Both a primer for teens eager to be allies as well as a reassuring testimony for young queer men 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.
