An interview with Homo No Mo's Peterson Toscano
"It would be really easy for me to blast the ex-gay ministry hard," says Peterson Toscano of his one-man show "Doin' Time in the Homo No Mo Halfway House." "I mean, for seventeen years I was getting some sort of ex-gay reparative therapy, so I could blast them to the other side of the planet. But I wanted to tell my story and other people's stories in a non-threatening kind of way, to let people hear the story and make their decision. " Toscano plays a variety of characters, including members of his family, who wholeheartedly supported him in his eventual coming-out process. "My parents were heartbroken that I was part of the ex-gay thing, but I didn’t realize that until after I’d left the movement."
