Aaron’s book profiles 18 African-American gay couples in long-term committed relationships. The book discusses how each couple met, their courtship and how they work to keep their love alive. It’s a book chock full of self-acceptance, love and loyalty – which, with all the negativity the black gay population receives – is a welcome change.
Aaron is also the creator of “Living Out Loud with Darian”, a 2008 Black Weblog Award winner for Best LGBT Blog where he provides commentary on issues that impact the African-American LGBT community.
The event is free, with a special gift offer for all SGL couples of color.
