I Can't Date Jesus: Love, Sex, Family, Race, and Other Reasons

I Can't Date Jesus: Love, Sex, Family, Race, and Other Reasons I've Put My Faith in Beyoncé

In the style of New York Times bestsellers You Canâ€™t Touch My Hair, Bad Feminist, and Iâ€™m Judging You, a timely collection of alternately hysterical and soulâ€‘searching essays about what it is like to grow up as a creative, sensitive black man in a world that constantly tries to deride and diminish your humanity.

It hasnâ€™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 isâ€¦well, have you watched the news?

With the characteristic wit and candor that have made him one of todayâ€™s boldest writers on social issues, I Canâ€™t Date Jesus is Michael Arceneauxâ€™s impassioned, forthright, and refreshing look at minority life in todayâ€™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 â€œfunnyâ€ 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 Canâ€™t Date Jesus tells usâ€”without apologiesâ€”what itâ€™s like to be outspoken and brave in a divisive world.
