Television Got Me Out of Bed

I adore to sleep in whenever I can. I draw the shades, put in airplugs and sleep until I can't possibly sleep any more. Yummy.

But not today. I got up EARLY (8.30 am!) to clean my little studio apartment. a film crew arrives at 2.30 this afternoon to tape an interview for a national TV show (details TBA).

You know how it takes guest coming to get you to straighten up; consider the cleaning frenzy when your home will appear on national television. Yikes!

Of course I ended up utilizng my spacious storage spaces in my place.. I may be out of the closet, but today I loaded it with my junk.

Good thing you're out of there, Peterson...lots more room for your stuff. =)

With all of this media coverage, how long before the paparazzi start following you around?

Yeah, Peterson, you're a big star now. Maybe you should try to have some security (and that was only half-joking, mister).

Why do you think it's us bright people who leave the closets? It's always full of stuff you don't need to survive :) ((No offance straight people, I am only kidding.))

When you need to hide out from all the media I know just the place in a small country far, far away where you are always more than welcome! :)

Can you clean up my apartment when hiding out?

You're definitely the highest-profile person I know!

Looking forward to hearing more details about this latest media blitz....

no, no, no, you have got this all wrong. The role of my friends is to KEEP me from getting a big head, not the other way around.

Now that offer to go to that country, I may just take that up, even if I have to do housework. You can pay me in Tartex.

I think we know that what you mean is, It's up to capital-F Friends (aka Quakers) to keep you from getting a big head--your anchor committee, for example.

I will say that I was struck during the Montel clip at how low you came across, despite the attention and opportunities that have come your way.

And the basic questions among Friends still remain the same:

Were you faithful? Did you yield?

Awesomeness and congratulations to you on both counts... both the Montel show and this upcoming development. The more that this subject receives media exposure, the easier it will be to present evidence contesting a lot of the junk science claims from the ex-gay movement. Thanks for posting the YouTube link, I don't have any form of TV subscription and I'd been wanting to see this.

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 ...
