Bob Roehr
Bob Roehr has the split personality of the three faces of Eve as a medical, political, and cultural journalist/writer. He is the Washington correspondent for a dozen gay newspapers, writes regularly for the Journal of the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care, and contributes to the Sunday Journal, a mainstream newspaper serving the Washington suburbs. His work has appeared in dozens of other publications ranging from the Christian Century, to Poz magazine, to the Detroit Free Press.
In 1999 he was appointed one of the twenty members of the newly formed Council of Public Representatives of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which advises the NIH director on broad issues of policy and research.
Roehr lustily joined the gay community in early 1972 and has held leadership positions in several local organizations. He ran for Congress in 1980. In the early 1980s he coordinated a project for the Gay Activists Alliance that recruited and lobbied for some of the first openly gay and lesbian appointees to local government boards and commissions.
Prior work experience includes two years in Brazil as a Vice Consul of the U.S. Department of State, and in the press office of Secretary Henry Kissinger. He holds a master's degree from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service.
He is an incurable romantic, single, and looking for true love and happiness.
