Living Your Best Life In Your Queer, Interracial Relationship

I found this great article where three men share their stories on how they navigated their queerness and typical hispanic culture. While it is specifically about dating I do believe that the culture of machismo instilled in hispanic men is one of the greatest hurdles to overcome and reconcile with for queer men as they discover who they are.

I like this novel because it displays some of the realities and missteps of interracial relationships. Gene Edmond

It is a good resource for others because it explains how biracial identity can affect dating in a society that often sees race in narrow categories. It helps readers better understand issues of belonging, stereotypes, and the importance of being accepted fully in relationships. Contributed by: Legacy Doherty

We often ignore the experiences of biracial individuals when it comes to dating, yet these individuals bring a perspective that can open up the minds of their monoracial partners.

Summary / Why it’s useful:
When considering inter-ethnic relationship I think a related issue would be international couples.

This resource goes over common questions same-sex couples might have about marriage-based green cards and emphasizes that U.S. immigration law treats same-sex marriages the same as heterosexual marriages, as long as the marriage is legally recognized.
It also highlights unique challenges, such as proving a relationship is genuine when families may not be supportive or when couples face discrimination in housing or employment.

I think this is useful because it shows that cross-cultural or international relationships aren’t just about emotional connection—they also involve navigating legal systems, documentation, and potential social barriers. It makes clear how structural issues can impact relationships in very real ways.

"I'm in Seattle, Where are you?" by Iraq's Mortada Gzar transports readers to life as a Gay male in 90s and 2000s Iraq. For those of us who grow up in "Western" countries, it can be difficult to fully grasp the realities of other Gay boys and men living in other countries with very intense reactions to Gay interactions on any level. This memoir indeeds follow a Gay Iraqi man and experiences with an American soldier. The book can be quite heavy, yet, wildly fascinating in its ability to portray a country with which the U.S had conflict and the day-by-day coming of age story of an Iraqi citizen. - Nhe'ghasi Ajani

While the majority culture still perceives monogamy as the primary structure for romantic relationships, over 55% of gay male relationships are non-monogamous. When I share this research data with many of my gay male clients, they often feel shocked that the number is not higher. They often feel like they are the only gay guy who seems to want monogamy and feeling pressures from many directions to be non-monogamous, even if they don’t want to be. My goal in writing this blog is to share a short snippet about various relationship styles to help gay men feel the freedom and confidence to explore whatever relationship structures and styles authentically fit them. I am not here to advocate for any specific relationship style as what is best for you, for me, for John Doe and Sally Sue are all going to be different—one size does NOT fit all.

A lot of what I wrote this week I also found here. Having a curious mindset has helped me explore cultures and identities I don't identify with a drive and passion to learn, understand, and get to know. I highly recommend this read!

# data[].attributes.body
As a Chinese who immigrated to SF as a young child, this book does an incredibly accurate job for capturing the tension between Chinese immigrant values and American-raised perspectives. It particularly captures the pressure to honor your parent's sacrifices, family expectations, and emotional expression, which are things that directly shape how I show up in relationships. This is an easy an engaging read that can give someone outside the culture an understanding into why Chinese family dynamics are the way they are.

Greek Men Made Simple: A Beginner's Guide to the Greek Male

As a Greek, it’s funny to see how some people view us: charming, elusive, maybe a bit dramatic. It offers humorous advice on navigating romance, avoiding offensive behavior, and handling big personalities. This book from the `80s playfully exaggerates those stereotypes, making it a fun read from an insider’s perspective, and a chance to chuckle at the myths people build around us.

I read this list about things to keep in mind is you are dating a Jewish man, and I related to over 20 of them.
Contributed by: Eddie Kaufman

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
1. Even if your target Nice, Jewish Boy (NJB) doesn't seem to have a strong religious base, there's a 100% chance that at least three quarters of his friends are Jewish. You therefore must prepare to hang out with people who wage friend wars based on bagel place preference. This stereotype is real.

2. Bad tipping and overall cheapness is NOT necessarily included. Very much like people who heckle Dave Chapelle, this is just an unfortunately loud minority. Rather, it's the zeal behind our frugality that's responsible for this stereotype-we get irrationally into particulars.

3. If you're aiming for a sound 5'11" man, you're looking in the wrong place. The standard equation here is 5'8″>X<6'2″. X = No Jews.

4. At some point we'll want to grow a beard.

5. You'll have to endure hour-long reminisce sessions about summer camp. The stories will be significantly less impressive than the tone in which they are told.

6. You may have to attend a teen tour reunion or two.

7. You'll quickly learn that Jews are from approximately 10 places in America, and that this "Jewish Geography" you've been hearing about is scarily real. If you break up, hearing words like "Rockville" or "Syosset" will come with an intense pang.

8. We like our sandwiches either nauseatingly dry, or nauseatingly wet.

9. A history of oppression means that from getting stuck in traffic to overall life outlook, we skew incredibly pessimistic.

10. There's a good chance we like music that, when juxtaposed to the environment in which we were raised, is mind-numbingly laughable. We're all about bringing back hip-hop.

11. If we're not observant, there's a good chance we're very vocal about our enjoyment of bacon, sausage, and other delectable and severely unKosher foodstuffs. Think of this as the Jewish equivalent of poorly endowed people who buy Porsches.

12. If you're looking to get serious, know that discussions about bowel movements is slowly going to creep into your frequent conversation topics. I'm assuming that by marriage, it reaches the top 5.

13. You'll quickly learn that thinly-sliced lox are the only way to go.

14. After a year of dating and getting absorbed into his home life, you'll be exposed to enough Berg, Stein, and Katz suffixes that you'll feel like you're in a never ending game of refrigerator word-magnet mixing and matching.

15. We'll feel really strongly about the temperatures at which our food is served.

16. That perpetual aura of unrest we've got means we're exceptionally good in bed.

17. When it comes to fashion sense, there's an 85% chance you're gonna be fighting an uphill battle.

18. Not all of us are terrible dancers. Just most of us.

19. Our childhood bedroom likely has an Adam Sandler poster.

20. Most of us try as hard as we possibly can to make our worldview seem nearly identical to Larry David's.

21. If you're looking for some inside info-the daily ongoings of Jewish men could be excellently summed up by the remarkably mensch-minded twitter account, @JewBoyProblems.

22. We have an irrational obsession with diners. Takeout chinese food is a close second.

23. We're most likely terrible at "handy" work around the house.

24. There's a reason our counterparts are called Jewish American Princesses. We treat our ladies rather well.

25. If our mothers don't approve, you've got no chance.
