Video--Tyra, Vlad & More

Okay gang, I have some video for you. First is a clip from when Steven Fales and I appeared on the Trya Banks Show.
(Note: if you ever appear on a daytime TV program, NEVER tell them that you had an exorcism or other extreme momentary experience. They will focus so much on that they they could actually miss the point.)

Ex-Gay Watch links to a video ad for Exeter International, a thinly veiled parody.

There is a good reason I don't watch myself perform on video--it is scary and I may never perform again. Am I really this bizarre??? Peggy Senger Parsons caught some video of Vlad in the act during my recent presentation of my one-man (multi-character comedy) The Re-Education of George W. Bush. The question is, when I make a complete fool of myself, will my friends ever tell me??? Peggy writes,
Vlad presented an interpretive dance to a hidden Condaleeza Rice in the audience. Vlad's goal was to entice Condi to run for president and re-instate Russia as the United States favorite enemy. Apparently -they've missed us.


Seeing this I realize it is time for a diet and exercise--I think I have had far too much sweet brown rice this past few weeks (see video here of my current food loop)

And this just in (well uploaded) Christine Bakke (still glowing from her recent appearance on Good Morning America--view clip here) and I met up in NYC yesterday and here is video to prove it. We have fun with the word lesbian. You can say it too, go ahead, try it!

LOVED the Exeter International thing. Hilarious!

In between all your jetsetting, did you get your registration to FGC sent in?....

I LOVE that the two guys in the Exiter video are Randy and Alan. I near well fell out of my chair.
Whoa...the introductory montage on the Tyra show was like something out of a horror movie...was that actually a picture from The Exorcist they showed when you mentioned exorcism? I've gotta go find my teddy bear or something.

Loved the video of you and Christine! Say it with me: "Lessss-beee-iiin." :D

Well, I am allergic to mold and hate the heat, so you are only 1/3 correct.... ;-)

Wow, the Tyra clip really paints a dark picture. But in a way it does help others to understand what desperation drives people to do.

The Exeter video is hilarious, however it does get too close to reality by capturing the "compensation behavior" that ex-gay therapy/counseling magnifies into an art form. On a lighter note, how did I miss that two of the guys were Randy and Alan? I must be slipping. (sigh)

The question is rhetorical isn't it? In any case, you make us laugh, you make us think, and if you have to add a dash of bizarre to get the job done, so be it. And yes your friends will tell you, but you might have to define the limits. Perhaps a checklist is in order? (chuckle)

Repeat after me 'Must get new food loop, must get new food loop'. Well, at least a less sugary one.

Lez-bee-in. :-D

Just to clarify for anyone who doesn't know my sense of humor, I was totally joking when I said something about being a big star or famous (or whatever I said...I'm tired).

;o)

The Exeter video is great--and the main guy is really cute!

OMG, Vlad is brilliant! Yes, you really are this bizarre. You should be proud.

You do have a remarkably full figure for a vegan, but it's nothing that a little exercise wouldn't fix. :) Thanks for the videos, that was very cool. I hadn't seen Christine on Good Morning yet, it's a nice segment (and Christine looks gorgeous!)

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 ...
