Optional Info

Education

I am a George Brown College graduate in social services. I am now considering enrolling in September in a personal support worker at George Brown College.

Work

Right now I am on a government program (Ontario Disability Support Program). After my graduation from my 2-year social services studies at George Brown College, I worked directly as a settlement counselor for refugees singles and families, and worked for Dixon Hall Shelter programs and Out-of-Cold programs. I did this for years until I decided I could not anymore on account of various reasons.

Hobbies and Interests

I love reading, socializing, watching documentaries, going for walks. I enjoy meeting new people and chatting. My preferred type of music would be new Fado (Portuguese traditional music), Christian music and yes, most of the 80s music…as long as they are  clean lyrics…which most were back then.

Pets, Children, Grandchildren

I am in a relationship with a wonderful man from the Philippines. It’s been 7 years now that we’ve been together.  I own to budgies, Bella and Chippy. Bella is quite a chatter and can say: ‘I love you’, ‘whatcha doing’, ‘where’s Bella’, ‘baby chicken’, ‘baby bird’, ‘what’s up’ and ‘it’s ok.’ Chippy just chirps and ‘it’s ok.” I come from a large family with 8 siblings, 6 in-laws, 7 nephews, 2 nieces and 3 grandnieces.

Faith / Denomination

I was raised Catholic but chose to be Protestant after a personal spiritual experience I had. I was in the Pentecostal movement but cannot say I prefer one denomination over another, though I do believe doctrines are important, but not as important as Christian unity.

Degree of "Outness"

I am completely out with my family and friends. I am fortunate to say that my family accepts my partner and I to a very healthy degree. My younger sister is also a lesbian and has been with her partner for 9 years (?). They live out in Kingston, ON.

Seeking Friends or Dating

Friends

Anything Special You'd Like To Share

I am seeking Christian gay friends with whom I can grow together in the faith in following Jesus. I wish there was a Pentecostal, Baptist or Lutheran church in Toronto that was affirming and had a gay Christian friend to attend church with. I also wish there was a Christian gay Bible study, even if it were online.
