Southern IL Success

I should be sleeping. I should be exhausted. My voice is nearly gone, but I feel so buoyed up by my experience at Southern Illinois University here in Carbondale, IL. Speaking to the Sociology class was the highlight I think that and hanging out with ex-gay survivors Bob Painter and J.

The show went particularly well with a large turnout. The Daily Egyptian, the campus paper, printed a surprisingly accurate review by Sarah Lohman. (I say surprisingly because I have found most reviews get the details all mixed up.)

Okay, must get to bed. I fly out in the morning, and on the weekend I will be in Portland, ME with a group of very active Quaker teens.

Does mr Toscano have thing for my dear Buffy and Angel? He's just to good to be true. I think it would be more fair if men as handsome as he is at least could be booring and stupid.

Alex, I adore Buffy. In fact, it borders on worship. Who am I kidding? I do worship Buffy.

I do not worship Angel, but watched every episode, faithfully. It got a little nutty towards the end.

Of course I am also a HUGE Firefly/Serenity fan. Don't get me started!

Squirt on my Tartex, and man, I am in heaven. (Sorry, Jesus ;-)

Alex!
I know, this guy is to good to be true. Are we sure that he is for real? *LoL*

Peterson!
I have to get my hands on the Firefly/Serenity-DVDs, I´ve heard so much about it! And yes, Tartex is a religious experience. Should we found "the group of Tartexians"?

Just wanted to say thanks again for speaking to my class! I cannot believe what an impression you made upon them. (Most of my queer students came up to me later and were quite greatful to have you speak, as well.) The class still talks about your experiences occasionally, which makes me smile. On the negative side, though, you've done quite a disservice to other speakers that have come in since. My class now expects more than one character to speak!
PS- Noting, some of the previous comments...I too adore Joss Whedon and all his glorious works!

stacia, that is GREAT to hear. Glad they received me so well. I enjoyed the class immensely, even the tense moments. It all worked out in the end.

Ah, Josh Whedon, even so, come Wonder Woman!

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 ...
