Firstly a thousand pardons for my utter neglect of my blog. After taking a break over the holidays (and soaking up the Oaxaca sun) I moved to Selinsgrove, PA (Susquehanna University). Amazing how much energy and concentration goes into relocating. B…

HILARIOUS!!!! Thank you. Do you know 'Amazing Grace' works well to the theme song from Gilligan's Island?
Brent, I think you just ruined some hymns for me, thanks! We used to sing the chorus, "Thanks be to God (who leads us in triumph, thanks be to God whose got the victory)," as "Thanks pizza guy."
I love the hymn/gospel song follow ups. Reminds me of my youth group days when we would "In bed' to the title of every song -- "Great is Thy Faithfulness" in bed; "Just as I am" in bed; etc....
In an on-going series of Jesus Loves You Twitter/Facebook status updates, I thought it was time to compile the most recent offerings. I average about five of these per week, and get plenty of suggestions from folks. In this most current batch I drew…

About an hour ago I stepped out of the studios of WNPR, the Hartford local public radio stations, where I appeared on the Where We Live program to talk about transgender Bible characters as they appear in my play Transfigurations--Transgressing Gend…
At the Friends General Conference gathering (FGC) this summer and then again at the New England Yearly Meeting of Friends (NEYM) I got lots of Quaker action! Sitting in silent worship for an hour at a time, some might think of it as Quaker inaction.…

Queer Quirky Quaker
Hi, I am Peterson Toscano from Hartford Friends Meeting. I travel in ministry doing in-reach around lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer concerns and outreach as a public Friend.
I have presented at several Quaker meetings and regional and national gatherings offering one-person comedies including Doin' Time in the Homo No Mo Halfway House and The Re-Education of George W. Bush--No President Left Behind!
My newest play is Transfigurations--Transgressing Gender in the Bible, a piece about transgender and gender variant Bible characters. I also facilitate workshops for young and older Friends on topics such as the Bible, Quakerism and activism.
I want to present something at YOUR meeting! :-)

Verbal Attack on Transgender Men--your action requested
Michael Eric Brown of TransMentors International has raised the alarm about ugly, misinformed and offensives comments uttered on a radio program earlier this week.
On Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 Janet Snyder and Nicholas Picholas on Kiss 98.5 in Buffalo ran a story on Scott Moore "The 2nd Pregnant Man." Durning the story, both Janet and Nick responded in a transphobic, hateful and dismissive manner. Join us in condemning this act.… Continue

Settling in & Breaking out. First Stop NC!
Firstly a thousand pardons for my utter neglect of my blog. After taking a break over the holidays (and soaking up the Oaxaca sun) I moved to Selinsgrove, PA (Susquehanna University). Amazing how much energy and concentration goes into relocating. Besides all of the work to settle (unpack, set up an office space, make new friends, connect with friends I met over the past year here) I also took up in earnest once again to work on my memoir after a break during the fall tour. After two hours a day… Continue

Gay Bashed in Hartford--A Quaker Message
Today during worship at Hartford Friends Meeting, the story of the Good Samaritan came up and reverberated in subsequent messages. (At Quaker meetings anyone can share a message. We don't have a sermon or a pastor like they do in churches. Most messages are under five minutes) One of the key messa… Continue

Quaker Queries about Transgender Inclusion in GLb(t) Orgs
One of t the things I like about moving with the Quakers is the quality of questions we ask each other. We have a long history of asking questions that cause of to reflect inwardly and outwardly.

C. Morningbear Cullimore Mercer said… - I think Ben Franklin was trans, and he really did not get on with flirting until he was ambassador to France well into his Golden years. I have been studying the old fellow for years. I once planned to do a show but my ability to attract backers and write script conflicted so both went into the darkest place in the file cabinet. He was a bit of a rustic fop in the court of King Louis.
