Peterson Toscano - Ex-ex-gay performance artist - two events in Northeast Ohio

I hope this counts as "discuss all things Ohio."

A friend of mine, Peterson Toscano is coming to Cleveland on May 7 and Akron on May 6.

He really is a treat. He grew up in a Pentecostal Church and is now a Quaker, after spending years and a small fortune trying to de-gay himself. Since that time he has worked to undo the damage of gay reparative therapy in his own life, and he also has raised public awareness about the harm that comes from seeking to suppress and change one’s sexuality and gender differences. His work on gender variance and the Bible has garnered much attention and praise from Bible scholars, and he presents at seminaries and colleges as well as theaters.

Jesus Had Two Daddies will be coming to Cleveland and Transfigurations: Transgressing Gender in the Bible will be coming to Akron
