On the Radio...

Lots of concerts in my life these days. Two weeks ago I attended Donna Summer's concert, then this weekend I went to the Jazz Festival at the newly opened Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center. I got to hear Diane Reeves, Chris Botti, Billy Childs and Wynton Marsalis. Last night I enjoyed live jazz right here in Hartford, CT as the Monday Night Jazz Concert series held in Bushnell Park.

This Friday I will be interviewed on a local public station near my parents' home. Kathy Rieser hosts the Out Loud & Queer program. I will be her guest for the show on Friday, July 28, 2006 from 10:00 PM - 11:00 PM (I believe that is GMT -5) for you international types.

I will do some excerpts from a few of my shows, tell funny and serious stories and I hope share some music from really cool queer artists.

You can listen to the show through the magic live streaming by going here on Friday night. (go to the top right and choose MP3 or Real Audio)

Wow - sounds like a lot of fun! You have good taste in concerts Peterson.

Will those of us who fully intend to be in bed at 5amGMT on Saturday morning be able to listen to an archive of the program? As much I love you, I don't think anything could wake me up that early!

Sorry CA, Kathy has no podcast at present. It would be a cool thing if she did. I love her show.

So no problem that you won't get up early for me. I will re-enact the entire show for you when I see you next month. :-)

Great show!

So, do you ever worry about outnumbering a lone interviewer when you drop by with all your personalities?

Steve, the interviewers love it. They just sit back and I talk to myself.

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 ...
