The second web trailer has dropped for the upcoming For Colored Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Still Not Enough, the much-anticipated new anthology edited by New York Times bestselling author and television commentator Keith Boykin. The anthology is slated for an August release.
Watch it AFTER THE JUMP ...
For Colored Boys collects the writings of more than three dozen Black LGBT writers—read the full list and bios—media personalities, activists, scholars and other thought leaders. The book was launched in the wake of numerous "young Black men literally committing suicide in the silence of their own communities" such as Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover, Jaheem Herrera, Raymond Chase, Joseph Jefferson and others reported on Rod 2.0, says Boykin.

I am moving back to the Detroit area at the end of October. I have been away for twenty years now. When I move back (besides buy the book)can anyone recommend how I might be able to help our young black gay brothers in the Detroit area? Any groups I can work with or contribute to? About next February when I get a new computer I want to give my present computer to a young black gay male student who is going to college or is already in college. Can anyone recommend a good way to do this? Thanks.

The music is a little over the top for me, but I like this trailer. Maybe some Chopin to give it longing and more lyrical feel. Put I'm def getting the book.
