Los Angeles/San Diego Author Becomes an International Success After Releasing Highly Acclaimed Book, Love Won’t Let Me Be Silent

Book challenges DOMA, Prop 8 and The Black Church’s Inability to Embrace Same-Gender Loving People.

In the wake of rising homophobic violence, the imminent overturn of Prop 8, the impending legislative repeal of DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) by California Senator Dianne Feinstein, and the heated uproar about same-sex marriage shaking the nation at its core, global author, and Civil Rights activist, Terry Angel Mason’s book, Love Won’t Let Me Be Silent (I-Universe - ISBN# 978-1-4401-5221-4), tackles and answers the most challenging and controversial topics surrounding spirituality, tolerance, and equality for same-gender-loving people.

Submitted for a Pulitzer Prize in 2009, and nominated for The Lambda Literary Award, and the Stonewall Book Awards, Love Won’t Let Me Be Silent is an authentic call to action against the civil injustice that denies same-gender loving-people their basic rights and robs them of their self esteem and happiness. Angel Mason’s captivating and timely tome has been the most talked about book since its release, and has gained international success, with international distribution, an unheard of accomplishment for any self-published author.

Determined to heal the world from hate, injustice, violence and intolerance, Angel Mason passionately expresses, “Now more than ever before, we need to speak out against the injustices that continue to plague people around the country. Hate affects us all; not just the gay and lesbian community. We can no longer sit and be silent…we must take a stand. I will not be silent as long as innocent people around me are oppressed, deprived of their Civil Rights, ruthlessly murdered, cannot find peace, cannot enjoy life, and are perishing because the light of truth does not shine in their darkened world.”

With nearly half of all lesbians and gay men having been threatened with violence, and many being ostracized by religious institutions, and their families, same gender-loving people face insurmountable obstacles to living happy, authentic lives. Through biblical verses and life-changing affirmations that breaks the chains of silence, shame, guilt, and self-hatred, Angel Mason’s Love Won’t Let Me Be Silent, is a living testimony featuring empowering collections of short stories, poems and commentaries that present gay and lesbian fiction, non-fiction, African American fiction and non-fiction, and urban fiction. Angel’s book eloquently explores and provides answers for the following controversial topics:

Does God hate gay people?
Would Dr. Martin Luther King Support Gay Marriage?
Can gay people be Christians?
Why blocking gay marriage is not the answer for saving traditional marriages
How The black church’s silence and intolerance is spreading HIV/AIDS in the black community
How intolerance and silence forces people to live on the down low, and increases self-hate and self-destruction.

A must read that is destined to be a best-seller, Love Won’t Let Me Be Silent is the definitive guide to happiness, acceptance, and ultimate self-empowerment tool in today’s challenging times as it passionately and eloquently summons leaders around the world to provide support and inclusion of all people, while promoting self-acceptance, love, and tolerance in the minds and hearts of all readers.

Love Won’t Let Me Be Silent is available for purchase online, or anywhere books are sold. For more information, or to order copies, please visit www.TerryAngelMason.com.
