50 SHADES OF BLACK -the ever present absence of the LGBTQ Community
I solicit your input (again) as I continue to build upon the conversation/write a book (with you) inspired by 50 SHADES OF BLACK. 
One of the comments I received in an email was in reference to the absence of members of the LGBTQ community from the original 50 SHADES OF BLACK book cover design.Do you think that was the case? Why do you think that was the case? How might being out impact one’s stature as universal icon or sex symbol? Why? Etc?I would love to hear your thoughts and…as with every aspect of this 50 SHADES OF BLACK Project, I invite you to send comments, offer reflections, write poems, offer critiques, or create new art and share it with me. I am compiling them all and would love to feature you on www.50shadesofblack.com
