Anthony Randall

From navigating racism and homophobia in a military family to finding his place in Southern California’s gay community, Anthony Randal’s life has been shaped by reinvention and perseverance. After leaving home and eventually cutting ties with his father over his sexuality, Anthony built a new life that took him through bodybuilding, long term relationships, a career as a hairstylist, and acting. Anthony shares these experiences and his journey toward acceptance in his book My Life As a Black Gay Man.
