El Khatib is a half-Palestinian, half-Iowan New York-based marketing executive and journalist. He covers art, culture, and the intersection of LGBTQ issues and Islam. He shares his unique experiences growing up in Iowa as the gay son of a Muslim father. “I write a lot about what it means to be named Khalid Mohamad El Khatib and to be pale with blue eyes, to be gay, to not have an accent.”
