The Essay

I identify myself primarily as gay, Christian, and a classical musician. My faith sustains me, but I have learned to acheive this apart from the strictures of any organized religion. My art fulfills me and informs nearly all that I do.

The Lovetastic Interview

I suppose, but how can you tell when a Stoic is actually having fun?

Scotland--I was there for one week twenty-five years ago and fell in love at once

Sometimes one does have to adhere to one's standards and stand alone against the pull of the lowest common denominator

Not sure--somewhere close to the totally homosexual end of the scale

Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice

Are you a Mac user?

No--I've used Macs, but most of my work is done on Intel-based machines

Favorite books

Cry to Heaven by Anne Rice;
Last Summer by Michael Thomas Ford;
I also enjoy the novels of Jane Austen,bhistorical fiction by Phillipa regory and Sharon Kay Penman, and the novels written by the team known as 'Timothy James Beck.'

Favorite music

I am mainly a Classical music person, especially Schubert, Grieg, Mozart, Schumann, Brahms, Stravinsky, Bartok, and Poulenc, but not necessarily in that order. I do like jazz on occasion, as well as Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Nickel Creek, and Allison Krause.

Favorite film(s)

Big Eden, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Chariots of Fire, Holiday, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and the two Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser

Favorite art

17th century Dutch masters; 19th century American landscape painting, and the English Pre-Raphealites, and the Impressionists

Favorite ideas

"The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not mov'd by concord of sweet sound, is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils . . . let no such man be trusted." Shakespeare, 'Merchant of Venice' Act V

Other interests

I really enjoy entertaining and cooking, and for special occasions, I like to bake, especially at Christmas time. I am a Christmas fanatic--trees in every room, garland and greenery all over. One of my most favorite places to visit is the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.

You deserve love. So does your future husband.
Lovetastic is a hopeful alternative for gay men who want to love and be loved.
