Michael Glatze (born c. 1975) is the co-founder of Young Gay America and a former advocate for gay rights. He received media coverage for publicly announcing that he no longer identified as a homosexual and now denounced homosexuality. ==Biography== Glatze was born in Olympia, Washington. His mother was a non-denominational Christian and his father was agnostic.〔Nicolos, Joseph. 〕 His father died of a heart condition when Glatze was 13, and his mother died when he was 19. Glatze earned a bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College where he majored in English literature and creative writing, with a minor in music. While working at ''XY Magazine'' in San Francisco, Glatze met Benjie Nycum. The two would end up being boyfriends for 10 years. They later co-founded their own publication, ''Young Gay America'' magazine (YGA Mag).〔 Glatze and Nycum coauthored the book ''XY Survival Guide'' (2000). In 2005, Glatze was quoted by ''Time'' magazine saying "I don't think the gay movement understands the extent to which the next generation just wants to be normal kids. The people who are getting that are the Christian right." Glatze turned toward Christianity after a health scare due to heart palpitations.〔 Worried that he was affected by the same heart condition which claimed his father's life, he sought medical help. The palpitations turned out to be due to anemia, caused by celiac disease. He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the first half of 2007 but left shortly thereafter.〔 Glatze has written two pieces about his change which appeared in online media outlet ''WorldNetDaily''. He has also received media coverage in other publications and in the book ''16 Amazing Stories of Divine Intervention'' as well as several blogs.〔 Glatze currently lives in La Grange, Wyoming.〔 A movie titled ''I Am Michael'' based on his life starring James Franco is set to premiere at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Glatze」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
