- Being your authentic self isn't always easy, especially when your identify is complicated. Writer Khalid El Khatib shares how talking about being gay, Iowan, and Palestinian helped him better accept himself, and how having the conversation with others -- including complete strangers -- fosters acceptance. Khalid El Khatib is a contributor to VICE, PAPER, OUT, and Hello Mr. magazine where he covers art, culture, and LGBTQ issues. He is writing a memoir about his experiences growing up in Iowa and New York as the gay son of a Muslim father. He is also a digital marketing strategist and the Vice President of Marketing and Communications at GLG.

Amazing khaleed I’m a middle eastern too and support you
Congrats! Great insight king ❤️
Kinda late to applaud your being who Khalid really is through your once you tube channel, but then it would have been unfair not to praise your long enduring efforts in overcoming for your success story which I humbly salute. Keep well, good luck and be happy, you deserve it.
Thank you! Your visibility matters ESPECIALLY NOW. Continue to use your voice.
C'est du bon boulot !
Hello Khalid: I have seen some videos concerning yourself and I must say I am filled with admiration. You are an extremely brave young man to reveal yourself in this way and speak of the discrimination one may feel because of their name and/or nature. I was a college teacher for almost 30 years. In the final 10 years of my service I taught
a great deal of people from Muslim countries. They taught me so much about Islam and the ways of their lives. It widened my experience of the world and different cultures in an extremely positive way. Life in London (I think) is a bit more tolerant than the US. Sorry, I am losing my thread of thought and I really just wanted to say that your videos moved me and I wish the best forever on. Otherwise you might end up with a 3,000 word essay on my thoughts. Stay strong!!! D
Trump! My Gawd!
This is really basic and boring
