In this chapter, Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes examines Charles Rice-González’s I Just Love Andy Gibb: A Play in One Act. He frames this engagement by asserting, following Marlon Riggs, that “black men loving men is the revolutionary act.” Reading selected scenes from I Just Love Andy Gibb, La Fountain-Stokes characterizes the play as a “therapeutic dream play,” in which black gay men can learn to love themselves and each other and to heal from internalized racism.
