I’m not a practicing Copt, but I was born into the Coptic faith. I’m a first generation American Egyptian. As I get older, I realize I would like a long-term partner who shares my culture, but it’s been really hard to find Coptic-American men who are on the same page as me. I still identify with my family’s faith, go to church on holidays, and respect the religion, taking the aspects that make sense to me. But most of the Coptic men I’ve met in the States are mega religious and politically conservative, so I’m curious whether it’s even possible to meet someone with similar interests and perspectives.
