All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson
5.0
This was short and beautiful and so many things in between.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I so deeply wish that there would have been more resources such as this while I was growing up. The author’s story could be life-changing for not only queer, but especially black, queer individuals.
The relationship with his Grandmother hits home for me as one of my Grandmothers was the first and only to really embrace me as I truly was - queer and all. There’s just something about a Grandmother’s love. 💕
I also love the discussion around being able to know that you’re queer without understanding exactly what that means. You don’t have to come barreling out of the closet dressed in rainbows to be your authentic self. It’s not black and white or rainbow. It’s all the colors and whatever makes you, you.
Lots of important messages that are told while accompanied by a beautiful story. Truly, truly loved this.
