Momma & Me

Yes, she is larger than life. When she saw the photo, she remarked, "Wow, it is like me and my own little leprechaun." Nice.

Our workshop was kick butt and everyone LOVES Momma. I think one of her superpowers is that whenever I am with her, I become invisible. I like that. Okay, I am exhausted and have another workshop in the morning.

Oh, and something BIG is coming and it is not Momma.

Congrats on the workshop, you are making all of your out-of-state blog friends wish we could teleport to Connecticut. Hmmm, a gay Texas evangelical in Connecticut, sounds like fodder for your plays. Alas, I don't sound like Tex though.

Chomping at the bit is an understatement. Can you make it for another ten days? And darn it, you've piqued my curiosity. Oh no, it's an agenda...warning, warning. Love it, love it. And I think I know what it is, but I'm not telling...:-P

Oh those photographs are great! My complements to the photographer and the models.

I will stay tuned for your BIG announcement. I know of one thing that happens in about a week, but I don't expect anything big or major to come of that particular thing. So I'm assuming this is something else and you have me guessing, guessing, guessing.

(smile) but this is how you keep the audience on the edge of their seats...right?

Those pics remind me of blueberry pie. I have absolutely no idea why--just a synaesthesia kind of thing, maybe.

(Chuckling) Well it's not like I can put you in a headlock and knuckle rub your head until you tell me. So, of course I can wait.

And truly you are masterful at keeping up the suspense.
(Aside to the audience) Maybe I can schmooze it out of him. You know how these theatrical types are. Yes I know, theatrical types in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. :-D

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 ...
