Brian Wayne Peterson (born c. 1971/1972)[1] is an American screenwriter, television producer, and showrunner.

Shortly after his graduation, Jamie Babbit, the director for But I'm a Cheerleader, asked Peterson to write a script for her film after reading a story he had written about a gay cowboy.

[3] Peterson used his experience for the story, which is about a group of teenagers who attend conversion therapy camp.

He is gay himself[4] and had experience with conversion therapy while working at a prison clinic for sex offenders.
