Something Big Is Coming!

I wish I could announce what it is, but it will have to wait about another week, but I am chomping at the bit about it. Something big, something wonderful.

So I won't tempt myself to spill the beans yet.

In other news, I am putting together my May trip to England and Sweden. I have some tentative presentations in place, but not enough for me to put it all out there yet. I will be at the Oxford Friends Meeting on Sunday May 13 from 4-6 PM doing a bunch of excerpts and lively talk. Some great stuff is coming together in the Swedish university city of Lund and IDAHO.

Oh, which reminds me! Daniel C, I have gotten your e-mails and every time I reply, I get a message that your provider won't accept my e-mails. What nerve. So please fix that so we can talk about hanging out in Stockholm on 19 May!

What else...I am planning a road trip with my Dad to North Carolina. I have some shows in Greensboro and thought it would be fun to travel in the car with Dad. We had such a blast last November driving 1200 miles to the Mid-West.

So something BIG is coming, but I can't tell you yet, but it is about...no, I mustn't...but I...no, must s t o p b l o g g i n g .

Okay, I am off to True Colors to present Dragged Out of the Spiritual Closet- a collaborative theater piece with Momma and me!

Hurray for big things! Also: you're such a tease! Stop it!

Have fun with Momma. (Dang, that felt weird to say.)

Hmmm, perhaps you're getting so BIG that e-mail services identify your e-mails as spam.

I think we should start rumors about the news. What's community without rumors?

Let's see...I heard that they're going to make a movie of Peterson's life, and he's going to play ALL the roles. There was some trouble during negotiating compensation since Peterson thought each character should receive his or her own salary.

I am more than certain that your big thing will be the announcement of your inevitabe future as a resident Swede.

You are such a tease. I think you're making too much of a connection with your inner Chad.

And I would guess, but how can I be any more dramatic than the master? (Or is that melodramatic?)
Yeah, real big and if you were at my workshop at my Homo No Mo-Ex-Gay Primer Workshop True Colors today, you would have heard about it, but alas you are all too busy in England or Sweden or California or Texas.

Well you will have to wait until April 2nd. It is a big day this year. Big. BIG! B I G ! !

You and Dad should keep on driving south from North Carolina until you get to, say, Tampa.......

April. That will probably translate to November in Sweden.

The Rumor #2:

I heard that Peterson is going to start a cable network -- "Gay Christian Broadcast Network". Each day, there will be live programming with fabulous, baroque sets. Momma will host and wear lavender wigs.

Due to financial restraints, Peterson will use several of his alternative personalities to host each program in the GCBN line up. Marvin will be manning the phones to take prayer requests and accept donations. Robert Tilton out takes will be shown after midnight.

Hurry! Call! Make a pledge today! Juh-eezus is counting on you!
kj, hahahaha!

Hey! Nobody else is playing and I can't stop myself!

Rumor #3:

I heard that Peterson is going to release a complete line of alternative personalities available for purchase. The product line will be available through "Toscano R You."

At the official website, shoppers will be able to select a personality that best represents where they would currently like to be on life's journey. Rather than going through the painful and lengthy process typically required by growth and change, consumers will be able to download the necessary programming to their computer (PC and Intel Mac compatible).

To avoid homogeneity of populations, self-checks are built into the distribution software in order to avoid situations in which cities might fear an alien invasion (e.g., Marvin does New York).

Wardrobes will be sold separately.

Oh I'll play the game, kj, let's see now...(thinking)...ahh, I've got it...

Rumor #4

Peterson pays homage to the ex-gay movement's fixation on imposing American cultural masculinity on those within its grasp in his newest production:

For God's Sake, Chad, Act Straight!

Watch as Chad learns how to walk, talk and dress like a typical American straight male. And most important how to properly execute the masculine ritual known as the "I'm not gay" hug.

FYI: The "I'm not gay" hug works like this:

1. You stand in front of your male friend, not too close!

2. You lean forward so you avoid that dangerous lower body contact.

3. You put your arms around him, not too tightly!

4. You briefly hold this position while slapping him on the back three times to the rhythm of I'm (pause) not (pause) gay.

Remember you must keep hug time to a minimum as you might unduly influence other men to show affection to each other. And we all know how God feels about that. Why Western Civilization might just crumble if this happens!

PW, Brilliant!

As the recent Daily Show clip revealed, ex-gay nonsense can be exposed while one does not have to work very hard to be humorous.

Peterson would probably have to give credit to various ex-gay programs as "contributors".

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 ...
