International author and LGBT advocate Terry Angel Mason has been making local and international headlines since the release of his first book, Love Won't Let Me Be Silent, a gripping tome that offered strategies to help parents, families, ministers, teachers and community leaders effectively understand and support gay teens, young adults, and people infected with HIV/AIDS.

Since his international debut, Mason has sparked worldwide dialogue about pressing issues affecting African Americans and the gay and lesbian community. A revered civil rights activist, blogger and columnist, Mason recently published an article about SB 48, (The Fair Education Act; a law that requires schools to include LGBT history), and denounced the black religious community's actions to overturn the bill, citing that their intolerance and support of inequality promotes more bullying, discrimination and violence in the gay community. The article received numerous responses and led him to being featured in the December issue of Connextion Magazine.
