The Bobby Blake Story charts Bobby blake's meteoric rise to fame and offers a fascinating, funny and sometimes disturbing insider's portrait of the adult entertainment industry. It is also a story of spiritual struggle, the quest for a meaningful life, for love, and the need for community.
The Bobby Blake Story explores questions such as, 'How can a preacher become a porn-star?' and 'How can a sex worker maintain a romantic relationship?' It looks into the self-destructive life-styles of many porn-stars and is candid about exploitation and racism in the adult film business. The book is also a revealing portrayal of the experience of growing up black and gay — or bisexual — in the Deep South in the 1980s, with a strong emphasis on the tension between the black church and sexual self-expression — and overturns some assumptions on the way. More specifically it is the autobiography of a man who has had to overcome some tough emotional challenges — a mother with severe mental health problems; life-threatening medical problems as a baby; an absent father; a drug addicted brother who fell into violent crime; a violently alcoholic life-partner — to become the person he wanted to be. |

Everyone wants to know the truth about their favorite celebrities' heart's desire. Within the masculine culture of Hip Hop and Hollywood, there is a well-known gay subculture that industry insiders are keenly aware of but choose to hide.

Many
black men who sleep with other men do not consider themselves
to be gay. These men live "on the down low," and
their sexual activities have gained notice as the rate of
HIV/AIDS infection in black women has skyrocketed, with the
vast majority of cases coming from heterosexual sex.

Arguably
the most controversial issue facing Christians today is their
attitude towards homosexuality. In recent years, secular and
political attitudes have changed. With homosexuality increasingly
portrayed positively in the media, how sensitively does the
church deal with gay people?
