Series: Leading Conversations on Black Sexualities and Identities

This book accessibly explores the phenomenon of internalized homonegativity among same gender loving Black men who love other men, providing practical tools to help therapists identify the underlying motivations for their clients' feelings.

Written from personal and clinical experience, P. Ryan Grant defines internalized homonegativity as the negative thoughts felt by a person due to their same gender loving identity. The book's introduction provides a backdrop of the developmental experiences Black same gender loving men often encounter and connects theoretical concepts with qualitative Black same gender loving male experiences. Chapters then explore the contextual consequences of internalized homonegativity and educate readers on how conditioned shame and anxiety relating to these factors alter mental health and functioning in various spaces. The final part of the book presents therapeutic techniques based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to assist readers in helping clients to navigate a homonegative world.

This book is essential reading for sex therapists, educators, students, and sexuality professionals who are looking for resources on working with Black same gender loving male clients, as well as those occupations seeking to create programs for Black same gender loving men. It will also be a helpful resource for Black same gender loving men seeking to live value-based lives.

The ever-changing contours of race, religion, gender, and orientation are complex and difficult to traverse. In this work, Dr. Patrick Grant offers us a dynamic and thoughtful throughway that is scaffolded by scholarship and guided with love. It is a necessary exploration of these intersecting worlds that is important to our collective journey towards sexual equity and liberation. -Shadeen Francis, LMFT, CST; The People's Therapy Group Grant has beautifully constructed an essential guide that allows all of us to challenge the limiting beliefs we have internalized around Black same gender loving men. This text is for anyone seeking personal and professional growth and healing from oppressive homonegative myths that separate us from each other and ourselves. -Dalychia Saah, Afrosexology.com; Brown School of Social Work, Washington University in St. Louis Dr. Grant has given us a thoughtful exploration of sexual diversity in the Black communities, especially the impact of negativity on people's health and well-being. Using phenomenological interviews, Dr. Grant amplifies the voices of Black same-gender loving men, combining his research and clinical work with his life experience to create a deep reflection of culture, race, and sexuality. -Richard A.
