Black gay author E. Lynn Harris
UPDATE: Other news outlets have confirmed that E. Lynn Harris has died. Word from some sources is that he died of cardiac arrest.
A news report posted about 10:30 this morning on Arkansas Sports 360.com says that black gay author E. Lynn Harris has died.
I have not yet seen the report confirmed elsewhere.
The report describes Harris, 54, as a “cheerleading sponsor/coach for Arkansas and a passionate Razorbacks fan.” It says he was on a book tour of the West Coast.
Harris authored 11 books, mostly about the experience of being black and gay. His most recent book, “Basketball Jones,” was about a closeted gay NBA player and his lover.

Awful! He will be truly missed. I’ve reread his novels numerious times. My prayers go out to his family and close friends.
It is so said to hear that a man that taught women black and white so much about the black man and his sexual ways has left us so soon
