Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Michael Glatze is handsome, charismatic, and opinionated. An Ivy League grad with multiple degrees, he's a writer, pianist, and 'queer theorist,' espousing his belief that sexual orientation shouldn't define one's identity. After years co-editing the iconic XY Magazine, a gay periodical based in San Francisco, he moves to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, with his charming and intelligent architect boyfriend, Bennett.
