Match.com Madness

After friends heard my constant moans about being single, they suggested I try to find love through Match.com. Initially I created a convential profile, but within a week, after reading so many profiles where men demanded that their potential partners be gay versions of Vin Diesel (who may be a straight version of his gay self for all I know), I started playing with my profile and turned it into art and activism. Don't know if it has aided me in my personal quest, but it sure is a lot more fun.

Here is my latest intro:
I am a straight-acting, incredibly masculine professional gay man who is exclusivley into guy stuff--tough manly activities. I'm not your typical gay guy--I like football and high fat foods and hate faggy things like musicals and sappy movies.

I'm looking for an overweight unemployed fem gay who does drugs and is riddled with diseases. They say opposites attract.
Visit Match.com to see my complete profile.

I don't think that profile will get you many dates.

Oh the other hand, if some guy actually contacts you and appears serious, be very afraid. :-)

Honestly, match.com is like THE HATED SPYWARE/ADWARE.

Conventional Anti-Spyware/Adware programs don't work. And they harass me with popups every few minutes.

One day, was so furious, I googled, "sue match.com".
I'm glad people did that before I did. They're getting sued. Why? Cuz they're employing people to act as potential dates for their customers.

Someone has to make them pay for their intrusive, obstrusive and unlawful advertising as well.

So yeah, stay away and put your money elsewhere :(

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 ...
