Every now and then, a piece of gay affirming literature written from a Black same-gender-loving perspective comes along that has the power to not only entertain but to be transformative.

In the early 90's Keith Boykin's One More River To Cross became the light in a dark tunnel that was my foreseeable future filled with loneliness, depression, rejection, and a sense of unworthiness-in a hostile and homophobic society that tried to convince me that this is what I would experience in life as a gay man.

Nearly thirteen years after Boykin's book was published and considerable achievements by black gay authors in a myriad of genres have occurred, gay author and ordained minister Terry Angel Mason emerges with They Say That I Am Broken, a collection of essays, short stories and poems written to affirm the black gay experience.

A work of non-fiction, They Say That I Am Broken is slightly autobiographical as Mason cleverly weaves his life experiences as a black openly gay minister with the stories of so many wounded gay men of color navigating through life in search of acceptance, love, and equality.

Like it's predecessor, the best-selling book Love Won't Let Me Be Silent, where Mason spoke directly to parents of gay youth who often find it nearly impossible to reconcile conservative biblical teaching with homosexuality in chapters such as "Lord My Child is Gay, What Do I Do?", "What AIDS Cannot Do", and "Don't Walk Past Your Miracle", a look at the potential beautiful partners we overlook as gay men on a search for the fairy tale companion.

In They Say That I Am Broken, the formula may appear the same as Mason fearlessly takes on the hypocrisy of the black church in the essay "Don't Blame Me For Your Mess", but this global author expands his reach in the gut-wrenching "Uganda, My Heart Weeps For You", bringing to the forefront a modern day gay apartheid.

Mason masterfully tackles the intersection of race and homophobia in They Say That I Am Broken, while simultaneously challenging heterosexual privilege, leaving the reader with a profound sense of self-worth, whereas, before it may have been in question.

If black men loving other black men are considered a revolutionary act, then Mason provides a blueprint to love God, yourself, and ultimately the man of your choosing boldly and without reservation in They Say That I Am Broken.
It's a must read!
