Journalist Kai Wright reads from his new book "Drifting Toward Love" about black and Latino gay young men in Brooklyn. From the book's web site:

Drifting Toward Love tells the stories of Manny, Julius, Carlos, and their friends, young gay men of color desperately searching for life's basic necessities: homes that provide more than shelter and security against more than violence or disease. As these teenagers navigate the rocky waters of adolescence, they wade through pains and passions that are typical of any young person coming of age. But they do so with few resources -- material or emotional -- in a world where the cards are stacked against their success.
