Gay Arab American • RN • CEO, Next Move LGBTQ+ rights, Palestine, human dignity, healthcare & resilience. Kindness without silence. English + العربية. nextmove.care

Some stains are honest. I’m leaving a six-figure nursing job. Dignity and conscience aren’t for sale. I’ll defend LGBTQ+ care, challenge profit-first insurers, demand accountability for civilian harm—including by Israel’s government. Service continues. This is my next move. #LGBTQHealth #Palestine

Help build a queer Arab/SWANA reading list: name one book you recommend, and I’ll gather the replies into a community list. ساعدوني في بناء قائمة قراءة كويرية عربية: اقترحوا كتابًا واحدًا لنصنع معًا قائمة مشتركة. #BookSky

I’m Ameer—one of the fifteen men in this book. Queer Arab lives are often flattened into headlines; these pages make room for love, faith, migration, contradiction, and belonging. If one of those words is yours too, tell me which one.

15 true stories of family, faith, love, migration & belonging. Gay Arab American and Middle-Eastern Men by Randy Fair. خمس عشرة قصة عن الحب والهوية والانتماء. Available now — link in bio. #GayArab #ArabAmerican #QueerBooks

I'm Ameer-one of fifteen men featured in Randy Fair's Gay Arab American and Middle-Eastern Men. I'm not the author; I'm one of the lives inside these pages. The dance stopped your scroll. The pages hold the life. What is one thing a label could never tell about you? #GayArabAmericans

My politics began at the bedside: who gets believed, held, and abandoned. Gay. Iraqi. American. Hospice RN becoming a psych NP. Tenderness taught me power. Palestine taught me silence is a choice. Desire taught me shame is political. Where did your politics begin?

Two dark blue rivers converge toward a copper horizon at dusk, with subtle Mesopotamian geometric patterns woven into the water and sky.

You weren’t supposed to find this. The water is warm, the alibi is perfect, and someone powerful is about to make a very beautiful mistake. Stay close. 🖤 Shot by Nikon; no AI have been used

A smiling, muscular bearded man poses shirtless beside a swimming pool in white swim briefs, holding the curved metal pool rail. Warm sunlight and teal reflections fall across his body.

I came to America chasing a white coat. I became a nurse instead. Hospice taught me that a failed dream can still become useful—if you stop embalming it and listen to what survived. Plan B did not rescue me. It introduced me to myself.

PLAN D: Democracy. “Back to normal” is a strange campaign promise when normal already charged admission. For a gay Iraqi, a trans voter, or a patient priced out of care, restoration is not a future. Democrats must build what never existed. What belongs in that blueprint?

I’m a gay Iraqi shaped by war and hospice. I write about queer Arab freedom, Palestine, democracy, healthcare, and the dark comedy of surviving other people’s expectations. English + العربية. Personal views—not medical advice. Disagreement welcome; dehumanization isn’t.

According to the internet, as an Arab I wad supposed to arrive on a camel, yelling at people occupy the dance floor, Propaganda must be exhausted terrifying everyone. Reality: I showed up with a keffiyeh, danced until closing, and received positive feedback regarding the country 🇵🇸 🐪🏳️‍🌈🍉✨

🖤Some books tell stories. This one quietly changes the way you see people. Fifteen raw, deeply human voices explore identity, belonging, war, faith, love, and the courage to live authentically. No matter where you’re from, you’ll likely recognize a part of yourself in these pages. ☕️
