I Don't Want to Be That is a candid, honest and inspiring book that brings you into the world of a southern black man who had to come to terms with his own truth in spite of the expectations of others. Timothy Keys has faced everything in life from rejection to bravery as a gay Army veteran. Growing up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Timothy knew that he wanted more in life than the poverty and crime that he had to survive in with his family. He sought refuge in places, who if they knew of his truth, would outright reject him - the church and military. In spite of this, his inner strength, courage and motivation helped him to evolve into a man that is a light to others. You will be inspired, humored and motivated through this book as Timothy takes you on the journey of his life.
