When Kwasi Divine Asante-Tannor set out to drive a taxi in New York City, he didn't realize the job would steer him into one of the most profound investigations of his life. Coincidence Must Be Considered Considerably is a daring and deeply personal account of how a Ghanaian immigrant's everyday encounters with people from the LGBTQI+ community transformed his understanding of identity, sexuality, and faith.
What began as curiosity sparked by three startling experiences-two women kissing in the back seat of his cab, a transgender acquaintance in his niece's apartment, and a heated confrontation with his girlfriend's brother-unfolded into a thoughtful quest for truth. Through dialogue, research, and reflection, Asante-Tannor wrestles with moral, cultural, and spiritual questions surrounding gender and sexuality in today's world.
Blending autobiography with theology, philosophy, and science, the author examines ancient history, biblical interpretation, and modern medicine to uncover how nature, nurture, and divine will intersect in shaping human identity. With vivid storytelling and unflinching honesty, he brings together voices from nurses, scholars, politicians, and even global figures-from Pope Francis to President Trump-revealing the clash between compassion and prejudice, ignorance and enlightenment.
Coincidence Must Be Considered Considerably is not a book of judgment, but of awakening. It invites readers-religious and secular alike-to move beyond fear and see the LGBTQI+ conversation not as moral decay, but as part of humanity's continuing search for truth and coexistence. Ultimately, Asante-Tannor reminds us that coincidence, diversity, and divine purpose are woven into the fabric of life-and that understanding them begins with empathy.
