Marvin in Sweden

Marvin is on the road with me for the past four days. I flew him out to Northern Sweden to help me with my play The Re-Education of George W. Bush--No President Left Behind. Marvin serves as the Emcee of the show and has begun traveling with me. Of course he didn't want to leave his room all week. Well you can learn about this for yourself.

Spiritual oppression, binding the strong men, "normal" Swedish families and the evocation of Willie Hewes.

Nice to hear from you, Marvin. Hope you get some food in your tummy very soon!

Watch out for those demonic strongholds,

Classic!!!! ;-)

Peterson, I am glad you reached out and befriended Marvin.

Something I don't understand...is Marvin still anti-gay?

I thought after his experience with LIA and the Church ministry....and then then Peterson's extended hand...that he has softened his stance a bit.

I think there's something funny going on between Marvin and Peterson, only Marvin can't come close to admitting it. Any comments to this Peterson?

marvarino,

Love the Mod-on-heroin look. Please keep it!

Tell the "normal" Sweden family and your gal-pal Peterson that I said hi.

XOXO,
Joe G.

yeah, Marvin really has reverted back to his old ways. From the way he tells it, he believes there are serious problems with the ex-gay movement, but he still thinks it's wrong to be gay. You know it is a process.

As to anything going on between me and marvin, well we are close in many ways...

Wow, you're still thinking of me! I'm flattered Marvin, and it's good to know that you're close geographically. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the show, though, but I'm working very hard on some creative projects of my own. I'm really excited about it, and hopefully I can tell you and Peterson a little more about it soon.

I love your videos, they're so frank and often funny. "except they don't speak much English" nearly made me snort my tea! You're great, be well!

willie, who could forget you. Perhaps one day Marvin will sort out his gender issues, but one day at a time.

Can't wait to hear about the new creative projects. I'll be in the UK in May and MUST see you for more supplies (and I think I owe you pounds or dollars or euros or something.

Puzzled

Last night I performed Transfigurations-Transgressing Gender in the Bible at Imago Dei Metropolitan Community Church in Glen Mills, PA (about 15 miles outside of Philly). I had a diverse audience of about 45 people -- college students, Quakers, straight, bi, trans and lesbian, young and old. I took my time with the piece maintaining a gentle meditative pace. For the ending when I reveal the identity of the narrator, I had instructed the light tech to dim the lights. Then as the closing music swelled, I asked her to raise the lights to their brigthest intensity. With the music playing, I exited. Always (up until last night) at this point the audience applauds, I wait 5 seconds then come out to take a bow. Last night I exited and then nothing. No one clapped. They sat quietly as the music played. I stood back stage puzzled, baffled. Now what do I do? Wait? Go out anyway? And I wondered for a moment, Did they hate it? Did I confuse them? Offend them? Bore them into a coma? After what ...

The False Image of LIA

John Smid and me-Graduation 1998 (above) & John Smid today (left) By now many have heard that Tennessee's Department of Mental Health & Developmental Disabilities determined that the "ex-gay" program, Love in Action, is operating two “unlicensed mental health supportive living facilities”. LIA has until Friday, September 23 to respond. If LIA statements in Eartha Jane Melzer's article are indicative to how the "change" program might respond, we may see LIA change right before our eyes from a clinical mental health compound into a house of praise and worship. Gerard Wellman, business administrator for Love in Action, and a former Love in Action client, said Sept. 13 that the organization has been in contact with the state but would not comment further. “As a church, we operate under a different set of rules,” Wellman said. Curious, and what rules might these be? What is even more curious is that according to LIA's site only one staff member ...

Marvin on the Airwaves

Since coming back out of the closet (ex-ex-gay) in April, Marvin Bloom, a devout Jew for Jesus, has been making the rounds at various podcasts. His gay-friendly rants have been heard on Spanking Bee Arthur , The Flatus Show and more than once on Joe G's Bored Beyond Belief . Currently you can hear Marvin on Episode 81 of Mila and Jayna's Trans-ponder . In fact, you will also get to hear me too since in his new segment, Moments with Marvin, he interviews me. In other news, I have a boyfriend, and he is not Marvin.
