2006 Full Disclosure Tour

I am so pleased to announce the first half of my 2006 Full Disclosure Tour--Exposing the Inner Bush!

The tour will include stops at US and Canadian college campuses including American University, Sarah Lawrence College, Castleton State College, Colgate University, Austin Peay State College, Acadia University (and lots more cool venues in the works). Also I will present at conferences, churches and high schools (oh and PRIDE events TBA).

I'll perform my one-man comedies Doin' Time in the Homo No Mo Halfway House and Queer 101 and my speech/performance Talkin' Trash in the Homo No Mo Halfway House. Still to be announced is the premiere of The Re-Education of George W. Bush. Stay Tuned!

Check out the tour dates; it will be updated regularly. I would love to see you some time in 2006!

(Hey, why not book your own performance :-)

Any more UK trips on the horizon then? ;)

CA I really want to return to the UK. Those two weeks last September and the shorter trip I did in April went so well (I even got away with my British accent on stage :-) No immediate plans, I imagine getting back to the UK in the early or late fall if not sooner.

Now about LA and the West Coast...I'm really wanting to get my butt to LA. You know it is all about contacts. I've been focusing on college campuses, so if you know of anyone at one of the area colleges, let me know and I'll have the Amazing Sarah Miller, who does my booking, follow up.

Of course once I have a college gig set up, I can see about setting up presentations at other venues (churches, LGBT community centers, nursing homes, prisions, McDonalds, whatever). Soooo, get me the contacts and I'll get myself to a venue near you .

Maybe I'll even bring Marvin.

I wonder if Belfast Pride would be interested in you?

http://www.belfastpride.com/

I've always said they need someone like you in good ole Norn Iron :).

I'll do you a deal, if you can get yourself a gig in NI, I will arrange for you and any partner (because I'm sure that ad on match.com will have them flocking) to stay in my dad's unbelievably middle-class holiday home on the very dramatic and very beautiful north coast, with the giants' causeway practically in the back garden. I'll even go home myself and show you around.

Sadly, I don't have any contacts in Northern Ireland who won't be protesting your event or I'd try to set something up for you myself :(.

CA, That is a WONDERFUL deal. I will look into it. Sounds yummy. Will keep you posted.

Peterson, I think you might need an assistant for any overseas trips. *cough* Someone who is also self-employed and might be somewhat flexible...Just a thought. :D

Re: the UK. Not sure if the Greenbelt Festival might be a good place for one of your shows (end of August)?

It's about the most broad-ranging of any of the Christian Festivals over here, (two of the numerous worship sessions last year were led by openly gay Christians), so it might be a good fit, and I think you'd enjoy it too.

Good news gang, I just got word from McGill University in Montreal that my proposal has been accepted for their March 17-18 conference. EGSS Annual Conference ENGAGING SOCIAL JUSTICE: OPENING TRANSFORMATIVE DIALOGUES ENGAGER LA JUSTICE SOCIALE: DIALOGUES ET CHANGEMENTS

Jimbo, I like the idea of going to Greenbelt; I've heard wonderful things.

One more question Peterson.

Do you plan on inviting the staff from Exodus to your Orlando show?
6:29 PM
Peterson Toscano said…
Since my performance in Orlando is a closed event for the participants of the 7th Day Adventist Group that is sponsoring it, I won't be inviting Exodus to it, BUT I would love to stop by and say hey and continue a dialogue with Alan Chambers (We appeared on Faith Under Fire last year and have chatted since.

Looking to maybe perform at some churches in FL while I am there, so if anyone has contacts, let me know.

I've been asked what sort of contacts/venues I'm looking for--any LGBT campus group and any queer-affirming church.

More dates will be added to the tour later this week!

My Gay Husband--A Spouse Speaks Out

The other day I received the following e-mail from Susanne, a woman who found out her some years ago that her husband has same-sex attractions. I felt so moved by her words that I asked her permission to share them with you on the blog. I (recently) saw your Doin Time... and I was the one who asked about your wife during the discussion period that followed. I just read your thoughts on What About the Spouse ....and I can say, most women who find out their husbands are gay feel ALL of those things you wondered about....some in more degrees than others... When my husband was dragged out of the closet because of his irreverent, immoral, and amoral behavior that our, then, 14 and 16 year old sons had to find on our home computer, I went into the closet. I didn't know what to pray for.... Do I pray that this will go away? Do I pray that he could go back to the way things were in our family before we knew about him,? Do I pray that I could go back to the way things were? After all ,...

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 ...

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 ...
