"All Boys Aren't Blue" is a memoir by George M Johnson, exploring their experiences growing up as a Black queer person in America. The book is organized into a series of essays that are both personal and political, delving into topics such as family, relationships, gender, sexuality, and systemic oppression.

Throughout the book, Johnson uses their own experiences to examine the larger issues facing the Black queer community, including the impact of toxic masculinity, the erasure of Black queer people from mainstream media, and the ways in which racism and homophobia intersect.

The memoir is deeply personal, with Johnson sharing stories about their family and friends, their first sexual experiences, and their journey to understanding their own gender and sexuality.
