"Love Won't Let Me Be Silent" is a collection of writings, short
stories, and poems, exploring the experiences and trials of
parenthood from an African-American gay male perspective and
sensitively chronicles Mason's search for love and self-hood. These
masterfully creative writings express candidly the views of
countless gay African-Americans who are vibrant with the faith and
energy of America's Black Church yet bristling with the pain and
anger of America's racial and homophobic injustice. While many
still speculate over whether Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., would
have supported gay rights, Mason boldly points out that it is
absolutely inconceivable that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., would
endorse anything that smacks of discrimination and bigotry against
any group since it is opposed to everything he believed in as a
humanitarian and Civil Rights leader.
Mason is an extraordinary poet who eloquently expands and
redefines the traditional idea of the love poem in creative and
ingenious ways. Each poem, story, and article is suffused with
restoration, history, love, and ferocious courage He also gives us
an honest glimpse into the life of a young "Angel Mason" who
experienced the pangs of growing up in a not-so-tolerant world as
an African-American gay teen.
America has barely smoothed its feathers, ruffled badly last
year by the California Supreme Court's initial decision to lift the
ban on gay marriage, followed by a divisive election that reversed
the decision and placed the matter again before the California
Supreme Court for repeal. These chilling events led to an epiphany
that compelled him to write "Love Won't Let Me Be Silent." These
electrifying writings are destined to make him one of the foremost
voices of the African-American gay experience. We have no doubt
that the artistry and enduring vision that Mason demonstrates in
this inspiring book will cause a revolutionary awakening in America
and continue to influence our culture, reshape our thinking, and
touch our hearts and lives for decades.
