I'm in Sweden & Marvin's Everywhere

I'm sitting on the couch with Alex and Noa Resare here in Sweden. We all have our Mac laptops out. I have been off-line and needed Alex to update me on all of Marvin's recent media appearances. Yeah, he comes out of the shadows and suddenly here is everywhere.

You can hear a special voice message he left over at the Flatus Show episode 120. I haven't heard it yet, but I hear it is about 10 minutes into the show. But listen to the whole thing, Ken is a cool podcaster even if Joe G refuses to be his Internet boyfriend (but that is more about Joe G's issues and much less to do with cutie Ken).

And speaking of Joe G., over at his podcast he juxtaposes two unlikely folks--Marvin with Charo. You have to hear it for yourself--Episode 14.

Before I left Marvin called to say that he wants to do more video. He feels it is his calling and even bought a video camera and threatened, um promised, to send me the raw files for me to edit.

As to your recent questions, he rebuffed them all saying that he will only take on serious questions and will not be pulled into a trap of the enemy or be some man's play thing (his words not mine).

I think I will be eclipsed by Marvin yet again. He will become more and I will become less. But I'm willing to share the limelight, so see Joe, I am not a total media whore.

Oh, please...once a media whore, always a media whore. Spend some time in LA and you'll know what I mean.


Kisses to Alex, the fam, Marvin, Charo, and Peterson

I think you can get rehab, or therapy or something for media-whorishness. I am sure we could find a residential programme for you :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 ...
