Live Through This: Surviving the Intersections of Sexuality, God, and Race
This powerful book couldn’t come at a more timely juncture. With our deep misunderstanding of racial identity, the murder of transgender women increasing at an alarming rate, and the battle of faith and sexual orientation at churches across the country, we are in a cultural war of ideologies. Overwhelming prejudices have constricted our basic capacity for compassion and understanding.

About the Author

Clay Cane grew up in Washington State and West Philadelphia. Separately raised by a white mother and a black father, he existed at society’s complex intersections. From enduring spiritual violence in the African-American church, to learning unique lessons from transgender sex workers, to living in the double consciousness of blackness and gayness. Each essay combines personal stories with both researched and individual social analysis, using his narrative to highlight the most sidelined of communities. Cane’s tender writing gives voice to the voiceless, he tells the stories that haven’t been told by traveling beyond the lens of race and sexuality. Live Through This is the new American story.
