“I have made coloring books for 24 years and this has been the most joyful and the most non-joyful book in a 24 hour period that we’ve ever made,” Wayne Bell said.
He described the book as a practical way for kids and adults to learn about lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and trans-gender life.
“We made the book so people that don’t know anything can have a very positive representation of these guys right here,” Bell said, pointing out sections of the book about notable homosexual people like Anderson Cooper, Ellen DeGeneres and Elton John.
Cooper, DeGeneres, John and others are featured in the 40 page book as part of the “fabulous gay sharing cards” section. Their names, pictures and bios are printed on trading cards.
There is also a pretend “marriage certificate” and a model letter for someone who wants to come out to friends and family.
