HALF-JEWISH MEDIA CHARACTERS
Dear Friends:
Do you know of any depictions of half-Jewish people in the media that you would like us to post links to? We would love to post links to continuing half-Jewish characters in comic strips, TV shows, novels, biographies, etc.
We look forward to your suggestions. Please send them to us at:
1. Our first discovery is a wonderful continuing gay male character named Breyer in the comic strip, "Kyle's Bed & Breakfast" by Greg Fox.
Breyer's Irish Catholic father and Jewish mother split up when Breyer was a child, and he had little contact with his mother after that. Breyer was sent to 12 years of Catholic schools (!!!), and identified as Catholic.
Currently, Breyer is the lover of Kyle, the owner of a bed and breakfast on Long Island, New York, which has a clientele of gay men ranging from athletes to car mechanics. The strip has recently been discussing Breyer's newly-found interest in Judaism. A Jewish friend invited him to a seder, despite Breyer's protests that he identified as Catholic, and Breyer has been reading "Judaism for Dummies."
Breyer, in the words of one enthusiastic fan named Bobby, is drawn "50% Jewish, 50% Christian, 100% hairy-chested hunk!"
We believe Breyer will be popular with both our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender members and our heterosexual members. In addition to being cute, he is very intelligent and kind.
