New Book celebrates Black Gay Relationships and Love

Fellow blogger and writer Darian Aaron has a new book that celebrates the relationships of same gender loving couples of color.

It's called, "When Love Takes Over" and provides passionate look at love between Black gay men. Here's some info:

"Pioneering in nature, bold in its intent while refreshing to the senses, When Love Takes Over is not just a celebration of male couples-of color but it is a vivid, candid and an insightful journey into the intricacies of romance, love and commitment as expressed through the lives of eighteen couples."- Herndon Davis, Media Host/Analyst and Author of Repackaged Common Sense


The arrival of this book is timely and necessary. The gay and mainstream media has largely ignored black same-gender loving men who have formed nurturing and long-term relationships, even worse; the love shared between these brave men have often been met with hostility from individuals within their own community. But finally, the diversity that exists within both the African-American and gay communities are laid out in the pages of "When Love Takes Over" for the entire world to see.
The coffee table book is available online through Amazon, Borders and Barnes & Noble.com. 


P.S. I'm so excited for Darian.
