The story would go on to inspire legions of women for decades and would later become the subject and title of a hugely popular feature-length movie. While the film was selling out movie theaters, young African-American and Latin gay men were literally committing suicide in the silence of their own communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn response, Keith Boykin has put together For Colored Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Still Not Enough, addressing longstanding issues of sexual abuse, suicide, HV\/AIDS, racism, and homophobia in the African-American, Latin, and Asian-American communities, and more specifically among young gay men of color.
