Biography
Glatze was born in Olympia, Washington, United States. His mother was a non-denominational Christian and his father was agnostic.[1] His father died of a heart condition when Glatze was age 13, and his mother died when he was 19.[2] Glatze earned a Bachelors 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.[3] They later co-founded their own publication, Young Gay America magazine (YGA Mag).[4] Glatze and Nycum coauthored the book "XY Survival Guide" (2000).[5]
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." [6]
Glatze turned toward Christianity after a health scare due to heart palpitations.[citation needed] 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.[7]
Glatze joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the first half of 2007, which he left later that same year.[8]
Glatze has written two pieces about his change which appeared in online media outlet WorldNetDaily.[9][10] He has also received media coverage in other publications and blogs. [11]
Glatze currently lives in Colorado.
