Invisibility

beginning of Prologue. The start of this literary work proposes many questions as to how the story will unfold. How can one become invisible?

infertile god, he had three children: Zagreos, the god of Orphic mysteries, Melinoe, the goddess of ghosts, and Makaria, the goddess of the blessed dead.

Black and other non-white LGBTs occupy a very unique position in the social world with their multiple marginalized identities and this affects the ways in which they navigate through their everyday lives. Previous studies argue that for black LGBTs, being situated in the mainstream LGBT domain and therefore, become aware of their doubly marginalized position leads to the higher salience of their racial/ethnic identity as well as resentment and bitterness towards the mainstream LGBT community…
