Gay 'exorcism'
Read this.
I have only one response: "aish!".
An SA word meaning "of brother!"

Re: Gay 'exorcism'
News video with a few clips from the YouTube video
Why can't these people see how psychologically abusive this is? The boy is 16 years old and has absolutely no control over the fact that he likes other boys, but it seems they've convinced him that his preference is caused by a demon.
Now that the exorcism didn't "cure" him, is he going to commit suicide? I would say he's at very high risk of doing so, and if he doesn't, he'll still see himself as someone who deserves to burn in a lake of fire for all eternity.
I hope somebody who knows that boy will step in and help him see that it's ok to be gay, before it's too late for him.

Re: Gay 'exorcism'
You'd think that parents would realize how fragile young gay people are and they would try to be supportive rather than abusive. But that's religion for you, if the Bible says it's wrong it has to be true.

Re: Gay 'exorcism'
The sad thing is that most of the time, they actually believe they are helping the child.
