Popular GAY BLACK Author And ACTIVIST E Lynn Harris Passes Away Suddenly ... And He Was Only 54!!! (Here's What We Know So Far)

: MediaTakeOut.com just received some stunning news. On Thursday evening, popular gay activist and author E Lynn Harris passed away suddenly.

Here's what we know so far - an insider told us that he was on a business trip in Los Angeles to promote his new book and to sign a VERY lucrative deal to have his books developed into a TV series. MediaTakeOut.com's insider claims that less than a day after he signed the deal, he was found dead in his hotel room.

Right now, it's not clear how he died - and we're gonna have to wait and see what comes out. As soon as we get more info, we'll pass it on

For those of y'all who don't know who he is ... he's the author that would write those SCANDALOUS books about Black men living DOWNLOW lifestyles. His most popular book was Invisible Life.

Rest in peace.

Sad news...

He was a great author...RIP

NutznBolt

Don't know much about him but was reading about his death on another black blog and could not believe the morose things some folk were saying about the dead. I guess they feel that somehow they will get a pass.

If his death was natural(not murder), what does it matter how he died. Even if you approve of someone's good deeds you cannot bring them back to life after death.

No wishes, good or bad, to him cause he is already moved on like my mother and father and nothing to be gained on my part. My sympathies to his family and loved ones.


rain143

I believe I saw him on Oprah maybe Tyra RIP thats sad.. I hope it wasnt murder


strongforu

God bless you E. Lynn Harris. Your writings forever changed my world. You will be sorely missed and I hope that some of your books are made into movies as had been planned.


BrownButterflyy

@Jaydoggydog, What an ignorant, disrespectful and inconsiderate thing 2 say. What world are you living in? Majority of new HIV cases are those of HETEROSEXUAL people, and people who do drugs introveineously. Its not as much about the "transmitters" b/c a lot of hiv carriers are unaware of the fact that they are infected. Its about people abstaining from sex and drug use and if they choose to participate in these activities they need 2 PROTECT THEMSELVES! The same rules apply to EVERYONE, black, white, latino, male, female, homo, hetero, bi. Educate yourself.


Bama_Boy

Stupid people still dont realize that AIDS is not a HOMO disease... Grow up and show sum respect...You might be an AIDS transmitter youself.......

Ouch!!


20005

Pure Ignorance AIDS is not a gay disease it is an STD that is transmitted universally. Women are the biggest carriers because unfortunately under the guise of love you have unprotected sex with people you have known for less than a month and men that you live with because it is supposed to be a so called serious relationship. Think about how many serious relationships you claim a lifetime 8 before you are thirty usually and unproctected because of so called TRUST please if you are not married use a condom which is still not 100 and be more selective and we will have less bastards and STD's


LOISMCKNIEL

OH MY .. SAD TO HEAR THIS, RIP .. :(


MisterMC

DEAD AT 54? THAT'S SAD


DramaDiva

GOD DID THAT BECAUSE HIS BOOKS WERE GONNA HAVE BLACK MEN GRAVITATING TO THAT DOWN LOW SIDE. DON'T PLAY WITH GOD'S CHILDREN OR MIGHT SMITE THEE.



BlackLAPrincess

RIP Everett Lynn Harris...You will be missed. How am I ever going to find out what Basil Henderson is AND doing chasing Raymond. Loved u, even though I never met you. Never had a problem finding money for your books, if it kept you writing...Should have gone to that DAMN LA Book Festival at least one time.....[EXPLETIVE]!!!!!


blkbuddafly519

My friend let me borrow a couple of his books, but I haven't read them yet. I guess when I get a chance I'll sit down and read them. I wonder who's in charge of his estate....since they are going to make some of his books into a movie. And are they going to use well know actors....


20005

More straight people could go to hell than gay people because they try to act like God and say gay is wrong etc then they are the main hypocrites because they have fornicate and committ adultery more than the gay community and also JUDGE only God can judge remember that or you will be like the fallen angel who tried to take GOD job GOD DONT PLAY Fornication can lead you straight to hell too because you know it is wrong and no excuse. JESUS did not die for us to bread bastards and let everyone hit it cause you are horney or have such low self esteem you shack up instead of getting married and b


southerncharm

@DONNIEVIP...Sadly I agree with you. As they always say "If you don't want us to know, put it in a book." Regardless of his sexual orientation E. Lynn Harris was one of the best contemporary African Authors to put pen to paper. And to all the small minded folks who choose bash and say ugly words about this man remember it is not your place to judge. Remember...Juge Ye NOT!


Ello_Jello

awww WHAT ?! Noooo DAMN!!! This was DEF murder. I'm writing a book about it starting now


Portcitydiva

R.I.P I loved loved loved his books just a few weeks ago I read Basketball Jones in like three days. I writes stories that grab your attention and you can't put the book down.... He will be missed!!!

Call me Paranoid.....But it seem strange that some our successful, black brothers are mysteriously dropping off like flies.

RIP...E. LYNN HARRIS


femmelez4life

I cant believe how ignorant some of your are Aids is not a gay disease its an everyone disease and for you to make light of this mans death with your homophobic comments is absurd.Stop being ignorant and educate yourselves. Youre attitude toward gay people is the reason there are "down-low brothas" not E. Lynn Harris. If black folks wouldnt act so ignorant about the subject then those who are gay would come out and it could save straight women alot of heartache. Grow up everyone, you may not like his lifestyle but hes still a human being and the loss of a human life is nothing to joke about.


LoveyDove804

That's very sad I hope no one set him up or anything :(


ohjazzydiva

Aww, sad to hear this news. He's one of my favorite authors.



huggyb05

Very sad day...I loved his books. RIP

It's a shame though that when someone gay dies, people automatically make the conclusion that its AIDS-related. Just another sterotype that our community needs to get over.


MrWindyCity

You sound like a fuqqin idiot@diva. You should go play in traffic with a pillowcase over your head.


MissChynaBaby

MTO didn't no "insider" tell y'all nothing. This has been all over the internet since yesterday. I LOVED E. Lynn Harris and regardless of the fact that he was gay and wrote about gay men this is tragic news. Too many people are being taken away in this year so I advise you all to get on your knees and PRAY! R.I.P E. Lynn Harris


tideev83

This is sad and I hope they find out what really happened to him. Also, I hope it was not a murder. I've never read any of his books but I love to read so I'l definitely check a few of them out.


MrWindyCity

Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize how many divas we had on the site. That last comment was for dramadiva.

SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY DIDN'T WANT THEIR BUSINESS PUT OUT IN THE STREET...SO HE GOT THE AXE...WHAT A SAD STORY...THEY PROBABLY WON'T FIND THE MURDERER...

Died of A.I.D.S more than likely for living a depraved and "fabulous life", ha ha.

I keep on telling you homosexuals that gay dont pay. It is not a honourable life.

Gay dont pay.

Gary burn in hell f-a-g-g-o-t-t

H[SPAM]


MJaPervert

You dumb Amrican Black women hate men so much that you listen to this f-a-g--got. What a joke. You big dummy it the act that makes you gay not rumor. Black women need to be put in their place and if they dont want to be put in their place they they will be left ALONE.

TALK THAT HOT SHNIT KNOW, BUT GET BACK TO ME WHEN YOUR 50.......YOU DUMMIES. A WOMAN IS BELOW A HETROSEXUAL MAN, IT HOW NATURE INTENDED.

Never new who this f-a-g--g-ot was be good ridance. All the f=a=g-s are showing that GAY DONT PAY. What the h-e-l-l did he live this long for anyway, he was a waste of space on the earth.


njadonis78

Some of you posters are some of the most IGNORANT PEOPLE I have ever seen. GAY PEOPLE ARE HUMAN AND DO DIE OF NATURAL CAUSES (like cancer, heart attack, and diabetes) LIKE STRAIGHT PEOPLE. While some of you women and men are commenting on E. Lynn Harris, many of you engage in unprotected sex (hence more than 60 PERCENT OF BLACK BABIES BEING BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK)and have never, ever taken an HIV test in your lives. GET A LIFE!


Coffeecolor

DL men have existed for Eons....back in the day...they were called.."Trades"...Only among the "Night Life" were they truly known. Your Book brought it to the forefront!...Now since you've given Women a Radar so to speak, they have gone deeper undercover,but is still as active as ever!."THE LIE" had to be exposed,and it was! So i say....Thank You,RIP.


coco526

Sad RIP



OLDSKOOLNYKER

Didn't know about him, don't care about his gay books or lifestyle! Now he can explain it on the other side!


GuessJeans

WOW! Didn't know black DL men were hated so much. I understand the trickery and deceit behind DL men who sleep with both women and men. Yes that is not only deceitful, it is dishonest as well. In my opinion, if you're GAY, it's best to flaunt that mess. I RESPECT the "honey child" gays that switch their butts and limp their wrist alot more than I do those DL, masculine type homos.


BUTTABABY

DAMN. THATS TERRIBLE. THAT BROTHA WAS ABOUT TO DO SOME BIG THINGS. THAT SERIES WOULD'VE BEEN OFF THE CHAIN. I LIKE THE FACT THAT HE EXPOSED MEN ON THE DL AND THE WAY THEY LIVE AND THINGS THEY DO TO COVER UP, ETC. THIS LOOKS LIKE A HOMICIDE TO ME.


BUTTABABY

@ GUESSJEANS, IM WITCHU ON THAT.


curlyhead21

!!!!!!!!!!! @blueboy you are a stupid asss human bein....bitch in case your dumd asssaint know bitch...aids came from ur kind hoe!!!!! a nasty asss white women was da 1st to have aids.....stupid asss hoe...yeah blame us blks for every thing...and you white skinnn heads are waaay worser...drowning ur kids in [EXPLETIVE]....wtf.....but you tawk about the blk folks!!!!!!! ans for mj a perve...u a stupid asss bitch ass welll you need to get ur facts rite before you come preching with yo lame asss..stfu nicca...all yall poster just mad because that man was telling the god dam truth.yall dnt like da truth!

BUTTABABY

AND YA NEED TO STOP JUDGING PPL. YES THE BIBLE SAYS A MAN WITH A MAN IS AN ABOMINATION AND THE PENALTY IS DEATH, BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE U THE RIGHT TO CURSE AND DISRESPECT THEM. WE ARE ALL SINNERS WHO NEED TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER SO STOP BEING SO HARD ON OTHER PPL.


OLDSKOOLNYKER

That's why you woman are screwed up now! You follow the homo's and put down straight black men every chance you get! You all swear black men ain't shyt but you all side with the gay men every chance you get!This is why black men date outside of our race because you black woman would rather cater to the homo's than give a straight man a chance to prove his worth! Stay lonely you dumb bitches!


CunningANDStunning

I'm gonna have to pick up that book then. Give it to all my girlfriends for Christmas this year. That DL biz AIN'T NO JOKE.


MJaPervert

Never was a man and died morethan likely from A.I.D.S

My question is why do Black women hate manhood so much. Is it a disease in their minds, is it becuase they are the weaker sex?

For so many of them to be listening following and WORSHIPING gay men in America, the Black community surely has a problem.

Blackmen I for one have Svenska women but will also have a child with a African woman. However, you must pick wisely. All women are not supposed to have a man. Remember that!! Many of them are supposed to be low life talking wh-o-=res.

A woman should be better than you.


BlaqPrincess

@ Up2it There is no need for such a comment. I work in the medical field, and i see the aftermath of Down low activity. You know how many married women come in to my facility to get tested and they find out they have AIDS? And these women are married? Their husbands are on the down low or they cheated with a woman who was with a man who was on the down low.

And i'll you black men something. Most times when you approach a black women these days, the first thought that pops into her head when you talk to her is "I WONDER IF HE'S ON THE DOWN LOW".


lilwaynebabygurl

...ALL THATS SO SAD MANE HATE TO HEAR THAT..


MJaPervert

UP2it

Wrong

The BLACK FEMALE, BLACK DRUG ADDICT, AND THE HOMOSEXUAL BLACK MALE AND FEMALE HAVE THE HIGHEST RATES OF A.ID.S.

BY THE WAY RUSSIA (INBRED ALBINOS) AND CHINA HAVE AN ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT OD A.I.D.S CASES. YOU KNOW WHY YOU DONT HEAR ABOUT IT? BECAUSE THEY KEEP THEIR PEOPLE IN CHECK.

I swear if this isn't a white supremacist site I dont know what is. Many of the comment are straigt up anti-balck male propaganda.

O' Gay don't pay. Good ridance to this low-life depraved homosexual. UGHHH!


vee105

Jaydoggydog, YOU ARE IGNORANT & STUPID!



BUTTABABY

@ OLDSKOOLNYKER, IM OFFENDED BY YOUR COMMENTS. I RESPECT ALL MY BROTHAHS WHO RESPECT ME GAY OR STRAIGHT. BLACK WOMEN IN GENERAL R VERY LOYAL TO BLACK MEN UNTIL THEY R REPEATEDLY SCORNED BY THEM. BUT DONT TRIP BECAUSE WE CAN GET A NON-BLACK MATE JUST LIKE U CAN.


BUTTABABY

@ MJAPERVERT, YOU SOUND LIKE A PATHETIC, HATEFUL, RACIST, JUDGEMENTAL, IGNORANT, DUMB LOSER. U NEED TO QUIT WITH ALL UR HATEFUL BULLSH!T AND GO PRAY.


ifekat

I read his first three books years ago and they were eye openers. It was a lot for me to come to terms with at that time as a young woman but I am glad I was introduced to his reality...Thank you E.Lynn Harris.

By the way...TYLER PERRY DID IT..let's watch...


vee105

He was an interesting intelligent human being with exciting stories to tell, the best creativity to offer, that gay bashing is bullshitt IGNORANT STUPID! WHY DO IGNORANT BORING AZZZHOLES LIVE FOREVER? A GREAT LOSS!


ifekat

It was murder if you ask me...seriously...

They said "health complications"...but you know the media will cover up anything because they know that people will be gullible enough to think that if he was gay he must have died from an illness...

so why wouldn't they say that if they are trying to cover up an inside murder job...


MrDNiceTV

R.I.P

shida25

Goodness gracious I am so saddened by the loss of E Lynn Harris he is a talented man a accomplished author that lived his life on his own terms it doesn't matter what he died of it is [EXPLETIVE] up he is dead and gone his books were juicy and fabalous! Worth the 22.95 every time!


Evee83

Wow...very sad. But what's even more sad is how the men commenting on this thread are SO UNCOMFORTABLE with their sexuality. LOL It tickles me. Why all the name calling? If u know ur not a homosexual then just leave it at that. You guys sound so insecure and u probably don't even realize it...Fukkk what his sexual preference was, the man wrote great books.

RIP E.Lynn Harris


Evee83

O, and eveyone PLEASE pay MJaPervert NO MIND. He's ignorant and always on here condescending African-American people to make himself feel better. He's a joke. LMAO

@ CLARKTHINK, LOL "BLACK MEN AINT SH!T THREAD". AND THESE SAME WOMEN TALKIN THAT SH!T WILL BE TRYNA LOOK CUTE TO MEET A BLACK MAN AT RALPHS LATER.


good_downsouth

Fred, my vacation is wrapping up!! Lol Im sick of the water for a while!!!

topic:

Never heard of him, r.i.p!


garnet4550

No matter what lifestyle he led, he was a very gifted author. I have read all of this novels, including his most recent one, "Basketball Jones". I was so looking forward to his next book. R.I.P., E. Lynn!


good_downsouth

"Hello" Clarkthink, Ifekat!!


TheBrokenSilence

Maybe his gay ass had AIDS. It's not a gay disease but most of them have it. Facts.


imsickoftvnradio

I read that book invisible life and I like the book execpt he made darn near everyone in that book gay.

I am glad that foolishness did not make it to t.v though. No lie. I think Tracie Edmonds may have wanted to reveal something about down low men because of her ex Eddie Murphy.

May he R.I.P though. Shocking.



thewhole9

Boo Hoo another phaggot who writes about other phaggots died waaah,waaah,waah who gives a shid,one less phag in the world.He's probably flaming right now in hell! so i can't say R.I.P we all know where phags go when they die. LADIES IN THE ATL ADD ME www.blackplanet.com/atlmycity/ or follow me twitter/atlmycity


imsickoftvnradio

I am not married. You guys are scaring me with all this gay talk.


nivlekbrad

I can't believe all of the negative comments being posted here on this board. I thought we had come further than this in 2009. How can you people seriously say that you are glad a person is dead?

Truth is that this man wrote some excellent books. His books did not concentrate on gay characters like a lot of you seem to believe. He wrote about love and truth. His most famous character was Basil Henderson. He was a football player that turned into a sports agent. His description of Basil had women loving him, gay men wanting him and straight men envying who he was.


wsugarlove

Rest in Peace Mr. E.Lynn Harris...I loved all of his Books..I loved his style..he was a Great Author..I always look forward of getting his books..I really do not know why some people are making a Issue about Mr Harris being Gay..He is who he is..GET OVER IT...He will be Miss

MJaPervert

Got tested some time ago and was Negative of course/

However, you bog dummies forget that A.I.D.S was actually called G.R.I.D Gay Related Immune Defficiency until the homosexual American medical community cried and put that on smash.

I worked in the Medical field and like most depraved behaviors A.I.D.S is more than likely to be caught by HOMOSEXUAL MEN WHO ENGAGE IN A-N-A-L SEX. Drug addict's who use infected needled, and w-h-o-r-e-s who sleep with everything and pop needles in their arms. Black striaght men are very unlikely to catch A.I.D.S if their skin is health and intact,cont


suzieque43

he's nice looking, he looks like he talked with a lisp, the story sounds a little SUSPECT(no pun intended) ...sad


rcgrantjr

It was his writing's that made me love reading. God bless!


rcgrantjr

The way he was able to draw you into his stories, no matter if you where straight or gay is amazing to me.


ifekat

Hey Ms. Good!!!


rcgrantjr

My sister said that Basil Henderson is one of the sexiest and gayest characters she had ever read about.


forealtalk1

if anyone thinks being gay is ok then something is seriously twisted in your mind. Being gay is an abomination to the human race!

soon serial killers are gonna start fighting for human rights saying "i was born a killer, i should have the right to kill anyone i choose!

People get real! this world is going to burn very soon by the almighty GOD, there is a ravenous homosexual demon devouring the human race. People please open your eyes and see that something is seriously wrong.


Seven_Ate_9inches

THANK GOODNESS HE GONE.

HE AND OPRAH FUKKED THINGS UP FOR THE DL LIFESTYLE.

ALL THE DL PICK UP SPOTS ARE NOW DEAD.

CANT EVEN FIND A GOOD STRAIGHT MAN ANYWHERE NOW.

THAT SELFISH BITTER QUEEN OUTTED EVERYTHING AND MADE THINGS MISERABLE FOR ALOT OF BLACK MEN. AFTER READING HIS SHYT SISTERS WERE GOING AROUND QUESTIONING EVERYONE IF THEIR GAY. THAT SHYT GOT SO OLD AND TIRING. THATS ONE BROTHER I DID NOT CARE FOR. IN MY OPINION, HE MUST HAVE GOTTEN REJECTED BY SEXY DL MEN BECAUSE HE WAS SO FLAMBOYANT. AND HE GOT BITTER ABOUT IT AND DECIDED TO EXPOSE THE CULTURE CAUSE HE WAS REJECTED


rude_one

SEE I TOLD Y'ALL THAT ALL BLACK MEN ARE GAY. MTO JUST CONFIRMED IT HAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHA HAHAAAAHAHAHAHA BLACK WOMAN BE FREE DATE THE WHITE MAN HE LOVES YOU...

OMG!!! I usually get breaking news on my e-mail. I did not get this news as breaking news. I guess he was not as famous as I thought, because in the African American community, he was!!! I have followed E.Lynn Harris's books since Invisible Life. I have read all of them, including BasketBall Jones, which was the last book. It is so ironic because my cousin just borrowed it 4th of July and I just finished reading it last week!!! How sad!!! E.Lynn will truly be missed!!!! I loved his books, they were very well written, suspensful, and truthful. He was also an educated brother. RIP E.Lynn!!!

Many boys and young men think they can detect a homosexual by his appearance, or manner. That is false. Some homosexuals are effeminate. Others are not.Even the Bible recognizes the two kinds. In the 6th chapter of 1 Corinthians, speaking of those who shall not inherit the Kingdom of God, we find: Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulteers, nor effeminate, nor ABUSERS OF THEMSELVES WITH MANKIND..SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD...HOMOSEXUALS REVEAL THEMSELVES ONLY BY THEIR BEHAVIOR.

IF YOU HAVE SEX WITH MEN YOU ARE NOT STR8

And also, for those of you who do not believe that the "DownLow" Life is real and popping, read the memoir, Hiding in Hip Hop. E.Lynn's books and writing had grown since Invisible Life, and downlow has no where no subsided. Hiding in Hip Hop confirmed that! That book confirmed that almost everyone in the entertainment industry is gay and downlow!! Ladies if they are downlow in the entertainment industry, best believe the average Joe's are also.

@Seven_Ate_9inches DL MEN deserve to be EXPOSED!!!....FINE GAY MEN can always have thier pick of the type of man they want!...Nothings changed if you are truly a bad azz fem gay dude!...I find that DL BLACK MEN love to play these games with GAY MEN but some just want the gay sex, some just want the attention from a gay dude and have NO INTENTION on being in a L[SPAM]MITED relationship with another man cause they are scared!!!...THATS why E LYNN HARRIS is what some call a MESSY QUEEN because he EXPOSed the BLACK men on the DL who weren't man enough to be honest about who they really are!.

I feel sorry for you thus I will not try to rationally explained to you why you are depraved without the need of the Bible.

Your a sick cookie and you will die out. Thank RE for that. Homosexuality is negation and only effeminate men whether football players or men that look like Michael Jackson participate in it. Ladies the only way you can tell that someone is a homosexual is by their BEHAVIOR. DL, F-A-G-G-OT whats the diffrence, DL at one time a man was stepping out on his woman with another woman with out the other knowledge. cont

@MJaPervert, the fault is to be placed on all. whitey for stripping our minds. blackmen for having babymamas rather than empresses, and the single black mothers that dont know themselfs enuff to raise a boy str8 into a man.

I belive that the American Negro is thru with America. The collective has NO CULTURE. AND DONT TELL ME HIP-HOP IS CULTURE THATS MUSIC. THAT LIKE CALLING PEOPLE THAT LISTEN TO R&B, R AND BER'S,

I lived in Bed Stuy, and can honestly say that I have never seen two large gay black men holding hands in broad day light. However, that not the issue. Your son will see people arguing in the street, losing their temper, begging for money, unkept, etc...etc..but you still have to teach him whats right and wrong. I tell people that their children judge them, yet the find out at the end of the journey (old age) and rue the day they lived. Please teach himhe will never be a man if he is weak minded and depraved. And homosexuality is both depraved and weak minded.



MJaPervert

Money does not make a a man.Gay does not pay.,The gay movement is a stong devil movement that si meant to create knew recruits st the same time make people more tolerant of this depraved behavior. The weak gay man either black or white is a deadly person no mater their depravity. Hitler used gay men (the brown shirts) to beat up the civilians in Germany so as to placate the public. When Hitler did not need them anymore the "Night of the Long Knives" occured.

The homosexuals are being used in similar ways todAY. This is truly a serios matter.


bangfrankie

THAT'S A FILTHY LIFESTYLE SO YOU NEVER KNOW THE MOTIVES.. BE IT SCORNED LOVER, SOMEONE WHO HATES GAYS, SOMEONE WHO SEXED HIM AND NOW WANTS TO OWN HIS PUBLISHING RIGHTS..

NO MESSY SKELETONS.


forealtalk1

Blueboy,

I don't hate gays nor do i hate anyone i just feel that if your gay you should have your own restrooms, your own showers etc. Its not fair that i have to go into a restroom take a piss and then some crossing dressing queer (sorry) comes next to me talking on a cell phone and looking down out the corner of his eye. Its not fair!

As much as you get mad at people not liking gays you have to admit that something is seriously wrong with your brain to be attracd sexually to the same sex, i'm sure you've thought to yourself that something is wrong. You can be delivered.


sjoya

MAY HE REST IN PEACE. I HOPE HE REPENTED BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY. HIS BOOKS ARE GREAT!!!


sjoya

LET US REMEMBER THAT NO ONE IS PERFECT. WE WERE BORN INTO SIN. ONE SIN IS NO BETTER THAN ANOTHER ONE. IT IS WRONG TO HATE OTHERS....DO NOT BE CRUEL TO SOMEONE THAT IS GAY...AT LEAST HE WAS OPEN AN HONEST ABOUT HIS PREFERENCE...LIKE I SAID..I HOPE HE REPENTED NOW LET HIM REST.


bangfrankie

@MJAPERVERT.. YOUR NAME IMPLIES MICHAEL JACKSON WAS SOME GAY BOY LOVER BUT IF YOU KNEW HIM AND LOOK CLOSELY, YOU WILL FIND THAT HE WAS JUST A TRAGICALLY SHY MAN. TRUST ME, MIKE LOVED THE TENDER TRAP..ASK BROOKE SHIELDS, DEBBIE ROWE, DIANA ROSS, LIZ TAYLOR, TATUM O'NEIL AND MANY OTHERS WHO KNEW HIM AND HIS BROTHERS WHO KNEW HIM WELL..YOU'RE JUST MISERABLE BECAUSE YOU CANT STAND THE ATTENTION HE'S GETTING AND THE LACK OF IT THAT BEFALLS YOU. I THINK YOU'RE THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO COME OUT OF THAT DARK CLOSET..


BluBoy

@forealtalk1 the GAY MAN doesn't have to act like a QUEER to look down out the corner of his eye in a restroom next to you... there are many masculine THUGGISH GAY MEN who will check you out QUICKER and faster than a cross-dressing QUEEN would in a lockeroom shower or bathroom!...WHat about that???

y dont u try GOD, ask him to show himself to you in some way, shape, or form, trust me he will! i was going through the same things as you. God never said that christ followers are not going to doubt the faith, GOD wants you to search for him. Just keep looking he will reveal himself.

I don't hate anyone, i'm just saying that you can be delivered, there are all types of demons that are assigned to a duty on this earth and a homosexual demon is one of them and it is getting worse and worse as the years go by.

AYY, OK, ALRIGHT. to them dudes on here talking tuff. this is for ya'll. If a MAN likes to SEX GIRLS in their DOOKIE TRAP, they too r HOMOs. caz only someone gay r nasty finds pleasure in the SHYT PIT.

Blueboy alot of people doing wrong will try and justify their wrong doings, its human beings sinful nature. I know someone that has been delivered from the spirit of homosexuality and it is possible. People enjoy fornicating, murdering, molesting etc, that doesn't make it not a sin. I myself sin but i pray every night to cleanse myself through Jesus.

Believe, realtalk


Phillybruh

Such Disrespect for someone most commented werent aware of, I'm str8 married and have read his books, for the most part they are enlightning and entertaining, After reading invisible life I kinda a got a better understanding of what a young gay black man goes through and its nothing fun. but to read some of the ignorant comments on here makes me realize that bruh is home with the lord enjoying his first days of eternal life, while those with such hate in there hearts for someone or something they know nothing about good luck on getting help with that before your called for judgement.


forealtalk1

just because a man likes to penetrate a females dudu trap doesn't make them gay. Ya'll sound so stupid!!! the females saying this are the ones who don't like there dudu traps being penetrated!!! so just say it, don't come up with some BS analogy! some men like to get in there womans boot shoot because its tighter and its all about emotion thats felt towards the woman.

we are talking about a man and a woman, two different species of human, both booty holes can't be compared!!!



forealtalk1

phillybruh,

bruh is at home with the lord, riiiiight.......... i myself truly want to believe that but who knows GOD is GOD, but we can go by the only instructions that GOD has given to us which is the Bible, read it and you will see that this book is the truth.


ttiiaa77

Sorry to say, but since he sold his soul to the devil in the form of homosexuality, it was time to pay up. Black men are already an endangered species, why add to problem being gay.

ad3479

I refuse to even venture into these shark infested waters by commenting on any of these ignorant,bigoted and very hate filled comments being posted. I was always taught that you don't dignify trash by responding to it so therefore I will abstain. I will however say that in being a writer myself, E.Lynn served as an inspiration to me because he helped to pave the way for many young African American writers coming along. You will be missed and the literary community is deeply saddened by the loss of a literary giant.

Bluboy going hard today...

I think he was murdered...murdered..murdered...

see that mason ring he got on...dude was murdered...he was about to out everybody...


ifekat

The Roman Catholic church and the protestants are gay fraternal orders...go in your bible...churches black churches in particular is sexing up more black males than a little bit...

...so put that good ole bible down..

this gay thing and using the bible is a dead argument...the same people that are doing the condoning do it themselves......its two sides of the same coin...mixing church and gay as an argument is useless...its the same thing...

R.I.P. Nr. Harris. I thank you for introducing me to the world of black authors and fiction. I did not know that GOD himself was on this site. For those who judge his lifestyle, you must be perfect. He helped and guided new authors into the genre, he gave to many chatities,including HCBU'S ..He taught classes that had waiting lists years long. He always had time for his fans andgave words of advice and encourgement. Pick up a book and read. Stop judging others and educate yourselves. Every gay person is not an AIDS/HIV carrier. The world as lost a talented and gifted author.

He will definitely be missed; RIP E. Lynn Harris!

Hate to say this, but 2009 is shaping up as one of the worst year of celebrity deaths so far; I mean damn near every week for the past couple of months a major celebrity has passed!

Creepy!


Madeleine

He was a talented writer and a wonderful storyteller. Once you started one of his books, it was tough to put down. "Invisible Life" was HUGE. What's up with these black celebrities dying right before a privotal moment in their careers. So sad. It's kind of suspicious that he died right after signing the deal, though. I Hope the police thoroughly investigate his death. Oh, no, he died in LA! LAPD=most incompetent cops ever

Why are so many black people homophobic? That's one of the reasons so many men are DL because they're afraid to come out. So all you homophobes are not helping ANYONE.

And why are you worried about where someone you don't even know or give a damn about is in heaven or hell? You need to be worried about your own sanctimonious, judgmental, hateful self. Trust me, E.Lynn isn't thinking about YOUR azz.

To all of the grossly ingnorant, intolerant, so-called wanna be half time bible thumpin judgemental undignified beings, who have said nasty, and just plain hateful things about this brilliant mind in the name of so called Christian values: Ah, me of the Christian-Pastor-Mother-has this to say to all of you ignoramus', GET AN F'ING CLUE, SOME EDUCATION, COUTH(look it up dumb ass) and a wee bit of respect! As I recall, sin is sin according to the Lord most of you blithly choose to follow as you pick and choose. All the while forgetting what Christians are supposed to do: judge not lest you be


biscuitsmommie

If you are an adulterer, a murderer, a person who covets, or just BORN, WE ARE ALL STILL SINNERS AND IN NO PLACE TO JUDGE YOU BACKWARDS HIPOCRYTES! Ignorance breeds ingorance, which breeds poverty, which is precisely what most of you same [EXPLETIVE] gripe about daily. How about losing the antiquidated traditional unrealistic and BIGOTED wanna be opinions, pay some child support, educate yourselves, respect and have empathy for someone who made an impact on lives.. the way Jesus did for your sorry asses and excercise TRUE Christianity....


biscuitsmommie

....cause even though I hate to make gross generalizations, or perpetuate (again, look it up YOU)stereotypes, I'm willing to bet money I don't have that a lot of you with these heartless, hatefull things to say aren't doing much to impact society, humanity, OR your communities except to demean and judge someone who has in all actuality done a LOT more than you have even for your own children and or yourselves, all the while sounding ignorant as hell. And you wonder why our collective condition is for some as it is? If you've been to prison, cheated, or had unprotected sex, you've sinned too

RighteousMadame

Biscuitsmommie, as intelligent you appear to be you're obviously sucked into this Jesus mythology which in turn forces me to tell you to shut the fu'ck up. In no way a gay black man who writes books that advocates (manuscripts ARE influential even if they tell the truth about something that already exists) down-lo behaviors & all the "tails" of black gayhood is a mentally twisted fu'ck. Whether he's twisted by molestation, childhood rape, chemicals in food/drugs that he couldnt help it doesnt matter, dont impose the very element that DESTROYS black family, HOMOSEXUALITY.


RighteousMadame

Every fag you know wears a cross around his neck becuz homosexuality IS the Christian thing to do & be. All sick & sadistic entertainers wear crosses around their necks as they gyrate on stage, drug in hotel rooms with same sex orgies, etc. ALL in the company of a dead white man around their necks. A religion that has a birth record which means Christ didnt create this world (not GOD), therefore a LIE. Thats why the sickest of the sickest people engage in Christianity becuz it has no merit, never had, never will. A dead white man is your GOD? Jesus is a profit, NEVER prophet.


RighteousMadame

So the next time u decide to come on here with your pseudo intelligence leave ur 600 year old GOD out of the topic then you'd be able to fool someone with ur half azz verbal. Fu'ck this destruction to our community. His death obviously notes that he was into some things over his head, becuz that wasnt a heart attack, not in these times. "Successful" blacks or their family members are rapidly dropping dead in the race with drug dealers on the street. Our unity is critical now with the CORRECT spirituality & sorry, Christ has been the downfall since its inception. HOMEWORK TIME NI'GGAS!


zoidcite

very sad, he's was a good author... there's alot of negative response about this man cause he's gay. wishing death or thinking someone deserves to die or be dead, only set things in motion in your life, no matter what religion you are, karma's a bitch! Good Luck!

diahanapus

His Books are NOT scandalous, They are great works of fiction that give everyone a window into a world that wouldn't be possible otherwise.Give the man is proper respect because he had gut and ambition t to something that had never been done before.



VocalsAintFree

Lynn was a good friend and a fine human being...period.


Moccasynsation

How dare some of you to have the audacity to post such filth about another human being! This was someone’s father, someone’s child, someone’s brother. He’s dead and gone. Have some respect and examine your own black hearts!


VocalsAintFree

Question: What is wrong with being gay if you are gay? What did this man do to deserve all this hate? He is put down for being open about his sexuality. Should he be DL and lie to himself and everyone around him?


psycholicious

i loved mr harris here, i have almost ALL his books... but i feel as tho he was writing about himself, basil was obviously his alter ego, and i think his stories were about real life black men


cocoagirl

Yeah, he wrote some knock out novels. I'm reading "Basketball Jones" right now. I loved his novels. Rest in Peace, Lynn.


PhillyDaBoss

i wonder if hes burning in hell right now?

most likely...


Mrsimpeccable09

I was so heart broken when I heard that on Friday. I have his last book "Basketball Jones"...it was a birthday gift & he signed it for me w/ a little note on the inside. Very sad.


Mrsimpeccable09

@ psycholicious...I always thought that that when I read his books.


NoElleNo2

As he freed his life from "invisibility" so was his condition revealed in his death. I never felt compelled read any of his books. I knew enough women with husbands living that life and I'll let their deaths and DL husbands tell the story to all who live the same lie.

@VocalsAintFree- there's NOTHING WRONG with being gay- that's WHY so few if anyone understands WHY GAY BLACK MEN have such an issue with admitting THEY ARE GAY. "M-S-M" is GAY and only receiving oral or being a POWER TOP doesn't give these cowards a disclaimer or a pass- THEY ARE GAY.
