I am a gay Jewish–New Yorker of mixed Ashkenazi and Mizraḥi origin who loves Jewish, Near Eastern, North African, Central and South Asian culture (language, music, history, clothing, film/video, architecture, art), as well as old-timey women singers and musicals. I am very secular, progressive, and decidedly child-free and marriage-free. I have traveled to México, Canada, Turkey, Morocco and Egypt. See my Facebook profile, MySpace profile and my ’blog for a queerer clearer picture of this fascinating, multi-faceted fellow.

(It should be “whom.”) Those who share my interests to chat about language, pop culture and history, listen to music, and go to social and educational events. Also, old friends from GLYNY, NPA, GMoB or whencesoever are welcome to contact me.
