It hasn't been easy being Michael Arceneaux. Equality for LGBT people has come a long way and all, but voices of persons of color within the community are still often silenced, and being black in America is...well, have you watched the news? With the characteristic wit and candor that have made him one of today's boldest writers on social issues, I Can't Date Jesus is Michael Arceneaux's impassioned, forthright, and refreshing look at minority life in today's America. Leaving no bigoted or ignorant stone unturned, he describes his journey in learning to embrace his identity when the world told him to do the opposite. He eloquently writes about coming out to his mother; growing up in Houston, Texas; that time his father asked if he was 'funny' while shaking his hand; his obstacles in embracing intimacy; and the persistent challenges of young people who feel marginalized and denied the chance to pursue their dreams. Perfect for fans of David Sedaris and Phoebe Robinson, I Can't Date Jesus tells us--without apologies--what it's like to be outspoken and brave in a divisive world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction: where'd you go? -- The first taste -- I see a priest in you -- The first, the worst -- Diana Ross -- You will die poor -- Learning How to ho and date and failing at both -- This place is no sanctuary -- Itchy and scratchy -- My lord and gyrator -- The marrying kind -- The pinkprint -- I'll dial that number -- The impossible -- I can't date Jesus -- Sweet potato Saddam -- Epilogue: yeah, everything good ... we good. 600 10 $a Arceneaux, Michael. 650 0 $a African American gay men $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 12 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314015111.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012024152.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014420.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230405012655.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220824011009.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518022717.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200624010049.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190524010226.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20181221010237.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20181002012403.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20180906012852.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20180822010249.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=33FC4254955011E880A98A5497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
