A Homo No Mo Christmas

Time for my annual Christmas video. Last year I bought cyber gifts for everyone while I stayed in Crieff, Scotland, and made a video about it. This year my video is the gift. Yeah, I know, I am so generous.

Last week I performed the Ho Ho Homo No Mo Holiday Special at the MCC in Portland, OR, and for that event I dug into my past to find Christmas related material from the Homo No Mo Halfway House. The following video is a TRUE story of a Homo No Mo Christmas.

Now don't be surprised if in a few days I post another video from an old friend of this blog.
Enjoy!

Hee hee... I was kind of like a one girl focus group for this video, wasn't I?

*Love* it. And as someone who is in contact with baby wipes every day (by virtue of having two kids still in diapers/pull-ups), I'm sure it will stay with me for years to come.

Um...excuse me for a minute...I have to go wash my hands. :D

Merry Christmas, Peterson. *hugs*

yes, sweet ally, this is one of the consequences of being one of my friends, you have to endure we test-driving material on the phone. Joe Gee made a whole cottage industry out of my voice messages.

You're hilarious.

Ohh, early x-mas this year!

Wouldn't adult baby wipes be a simple and complete response on the challenge of being to European?

Whisky last year and stories about your ass this year. What will I get 08?

.....and, in thinking about your "challenge" to be less European, I couldn't help but wonder if there was a rule against using deodorant a the the homonomohalfwayhouse. Just a thought. (with no offense meant towards your European readers, of course)

Ooo, careful Pete, we have lots of Europeans reading this blog, which I guess in itself is a fetish of mine :-)

pete, don't worry. There is no chance americans can say something that would matter and actually make us upset. We don't see you cute guys in that way. You have to grow up first.

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 ...
