E-Journal #1: Hide/Seek @ The National Portrait Gallery

The controversial removal of David Wojnarowicz's piece, A Fire in My Belly, from the exhibition Hide/Seek:  Difference and Desire in American Portraiture, has created quite a stir within the art world.  Below, I've provided you a link to the exhibition website as well as a link to two of the earliest pieces to appear in the media in response to the exhibition and then, the subsequent removal of the piece.

For this E-Journal response, please do a bit of web-based research into this topic and locate at least two additional sources of commentary related to the removal of A Fire in My Belly from the exhibition.  In your response, provide a link (url address) to these two sources along with your response to the controversy and the exhibition in general.
