About (request update)

A leader in the LGBTQ community and father of The Noir Family. I am also a model, political/community advocate, human rights activist, actor, public speaker, youth empowerment specialist, and HIV/AIDS Educator. Currently I'm working as a peer health educator while attending school to further my credentials in public health. I have a plethora of life experience under my belt, have traveled extensively, and am looking forward to a rich and rewarding existence. I’m a professional, spiritual, romantic, and goal oriented complexed young man who enjoys life and embraces all that I experience. I am an organizer and administrator by nature, a performer and entertainer by gift, a confidant and mentor by circumstance, and a friend and brother to many by trust and choice.

My Interview Question

What are your ideals on social acceptance of ALL people?

Current Whereabouts:

I am a son of God, named Angelo Martinez.....sometimes I identify as a fallen angel for the countless sins that I've committed. I am an Aquarius, the epitome of the sign; I am the perfect representative for the Age of Aquarius. I have the social conscience needed to carry us into the new millennium. A humanitarian, philanthropic and keenly interested in making the world a better place. Along those lines, I'd like to make the world work better, which is why I focus much of my energy on my social institutions and how they work (or don't work). I'm a visionary, progressive soul who loves to spend time thinking about how things can be better. I'm also quick to engage others in this process, which is why I have so many friends and acquaintances. Making the world a better place is a collaborative effort for me. I shower the world with my thoughts and new ideas, I am at a near-genius level, so my mind churns out some amazing things. My thought process is also inventive and original. While I am happy to bestow my ideas as a gift with no strings attached, I am much happier when the rest of the world agrees with me.....LOL Naysayers will quickly find out that I can be impatient, even temperamental, with those who disagree. Yes, I can be quite fixed in my opinions. Even though I am happy to give, and I do, it's often on my terms and within my comfort level. Generally, that means ample space, since I am freedom-loving and individualistic and need to roam (and yes, I do enjoy traveling). While I am generally sympathetic and compassionate, I like it when things go my own quirky way. Some might call my behavior eccentric (and they would be right), but when you consider that my heart is truly in the right place, a few oddities should be overlooked. In my own way, I treasure my many friends and acquaintances and want to give back as much as I can.
