Living Off The Edge

A German expat, banned from the U.S. for illegally immigrating in the 1980s, Weise's HIV status prevented him from gaining a work visa, so he turned to the oldest profession in history.From growing up in postwar Germany, through a festering estrangement from his homophobic and abusive family, to the comprehension/denial of an HIV diagnosis, Weise led a double-life for fear that running the largest online gay escort site in the world would conflict with his life of advocacy, and risk deportation.Weise is well-known in NYC for his community work and initiatives -leading dozens of charities, comforting children with HIV (and foster-parenting two), co-founding a gay homeless youth shelter, and assisting undocumented asylum seekers-as well as in the adult industry where Weise created an escort support group assisting with health care, legal issues, finances, and future planning.
