Peterson Toscano

Peterson Toscano (born February 17, 1965 in Stamford, Connecticut) is a playwright, actor, Bible scholar, blogger, and gay activist. Toscano spent nearly two decades undergoing ex-gay treatment and conversion therapy before accepting his homosexuality and coming out as a gay man. He has since shared his experiences internationally through various media outlets, especially plays.
== Ex-gay experiences ==
Due to his conservative Christian beliefs, Toscano spent seventeen years as part of the ex-gay movement attempting to alter his sexual orientation through conversion therapy and faith-based ex-gay programs.〔 In addition to receiving pastoral counseling, conversion therapy,〔John Dicker: (Two paths diverged: A long and winding road to God ), ''Colorado Springs Independent'', 29 January 2004〕 and discipleship training, he attended several ex-gay programs including Life Ministries in New York City (1983–1991)〔Michael Luo. "Some Tormented by Homosexuality Look to a controversial Therapy", ''The New York Times'', 12 February 2007.〕 and the residential ex-gay program Love in Action in Memphis, Tennessee (July 1996-October 1998).〔Christine Dinsmore: (When a Dos Equis Is More Than a Beer ), ''Out'', July/August 2006, Stand: 10 July 2006, bei christinedinsmore.com〕
The conflict between his beliefs and his sexuality led him to consider suicide. He has stated that his experiences in Love in Action "felt like ... a biblically induced coma".〔 He came out as a gay man in December 1998 and now presents his LGBT-affirming message through theatre and talks at universities, schools, conferences, churches, gay clubs, theaters and on-line through blogs and YouTube videos. In a 2009 interview Toscano explained, "I had an aversion to being gay because of the aversion I experienced in the world around me. Now I see that a gay orientation and gender diversity are normal phenomena in the natural world and throughout human history."
