All boys aren't blue: a memoir-manifesto

Introduction: Black. Queer. Here

A different kid. Smile ; Identity ; "Honeychild" ; Fags play football, too ; "Honest Abe" lied to me ; You can't swim in cowboy boots

Family. Dear little brother ; Nanny: the caregiver, the hustler, my best friend ; Daddy's second chance ; Losing hope ; Dear Mommy ; A lesson before dying

Teenagers. Boys will be boys ; The prom kings we never were ; Setting myself free or setting myself up?

Friends. Caught in a haze ; Losing my virginity twice ; Don't know why I didn't call

Afterword: All boys aren't blue.
