DU this Gay-exorcism poll "Abuse - yes or no?"

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- A Connecticut church has outraged gay rights advocates by posting a video of members performing an apparent exorcism of a teen's "homosexual demons."

The 20-minute video was posted on YouTube and then taken down.

In the video, you see the boy being held on the ground and held up by church members.

At one point, he appears to throw up.

Gay youth advocate Robin McHaelen said the video appears to show abuse.

Disgusting!! I wish someone would tell that boy that his God loves him the way he is.
Here's the full link to the story.

2. thanks. These "pray away the gay" bastards are an affront to the true nature of all compassionate
people, faithful or not. and these sick weirdos who perform these exorcisms are creepy, as are the people that run "ex-gay" ministries.

God bless anyone bothered by how they feel about their being gay - trust me, I'm gay, and you can be who you want to be and don't have to answer to anyone but you and your God (if you choose to believe in one), screw the haters!

Gay Exorcism? What a strange practice that appears so ancient and cult-like. Confusing a young mind, that there's something wrong with them the way they were born, is one of the more shameful and judgmental practices that is, unfortunately, performed on our youth all too often in the name of "praying away the Gay". As a born-again believer, I find it quite amazing and destructive for these adults to employ their version of what love is on anyone that comes to them by choice or by being forced by their parents. This boy hopefully will find positive support elsewhere, that his desires are no more unnatural than anyone else's he goes to school with. As believers we leave the judgment to God - not man.


JOHN 3:16 does say "whosoever believes shall not perish", after all
