Dr. D. Marcell is a scholar and ordained minister. As founder and editor-in-chief of N-convenient Truth, an e-publication for SGL men of color, he believes that his divine call is to authenticate, validate, and empower the SGL.Saved, Sanctified, and Same-Gender Loving is the first in a series of books in which Dr. D. Marcell will deal with issues pertinent to the African-American SGL community.Saved, Sanctified, and Same-Gender Loving is a proclamation of reclamation for all African-American SGL men who have lived conflicted lives, tormented by indoctrinated fears of eternal damnation, terrified of being rejected by God and family, and driven to schizophrenic nihilism (feelings of lovelessness, hopelessness, and despair). In this book, D. Marcell presents personal stories that illustrate his struggle to reconcile his spiritual and sexual identities; he also challenges other African-American SGL men (whether openly gay, closeted, down-low, or transgendered) to confront their own identity.
