“Thank you, Jamal Jordan, for showing the world what true love looks like.”—Billy Porter
“As queer and trans people of color, we don’t often see images of ourselves in love—maybe infatuation or lust, but not often love. By capturing couples and families in our community and amplifying their love, Queer Love in Color helps define our legacies of queer affection beyond the carnal and sensational. This is a mirror into which generations might look to see their deepest selves and a world of possibilities reflected back at them. This is a tool through which many will unlearn the toxicity that society has taught us and learn anew how to love and be loved.”—Tre’vell Anderson, journalist and cultural critic
“Jamal Jordan challenges the narrow depictions of queer love through this masterfully written, photographed, and curated collection. There is no one way to love, and Queer Love in Color honors and celebrates that truth.”—Blair Imani, historian and author
