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.

One of my favorite quotations hails from the French philosopher Voltaire who uttered the famous words " There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come! And this book is another fascinating example of an idea whose time has definitely come!
Darian Aaron has beautifully captured and chronicled the passion, the joy, and the magic of true love that has been experienced by 18 same sex couples. The result of Darian's endeavors is a compelling masterpiece that romantically inspires and emotionally engages the reader. Darian pulls back the curtain of time and takes us into the hearts and minds of the 18 couples as they share with us, their journey to romantic fulfillment from beginning to end. Moreover, this literary chronicle of true love vindicates and validates the desires of same sex couples in wanting to fully participate in the American Dream which promises all citizens " life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness "e.g., THE RIGHT TO MARRY THE LOVE OF THEIR LIVES!
Darian Aaron wisely documents the love stories of these 18 couples with an journalistic elegance and simple sophistication that allows the warmth and unique magic of each couple's story to unfold and engage the reader without being overshadowed by the author's ego. This literary ability sets Darian worlds apart from most contemporary writers and gives us, the reader, a timeless literary treasure that showcases the positive examples of same sex love. It is my fervent hope and impassioned prayer that this book will inspire and motivate other couples to aspire to and emulate the couples represented in this book who boldly and bravely declared their love to each other and to the world, refusing to surrender to societal and familial pressures, vowing to remain true to each other because LOVE TAKES OVER!
It is my joy and pleasure to endorse this literary masterpiece!
