Church In Connecticut Holds A Gay Exorcism To Remove Gay Demons From Teen!

After viewing this video, I'd like to ask you two questions (1) do you think there is a "homosexual demon" and (2) from what you see, is this young man demon possessed? I get asked this question frequently and just wanted to gauge what you know/believe.

I picture a homosexual demon as having a disco ball floating above him.

I agree that this is a disturbing bit of video but it makes me wonder what the circumstances were that led to the filming of this so called gay exorcism. The most likely scenario is that this is a young guy who either had family members or others that he was close to that discovered that he was attracted to men and put a sense of guilt on him which eventually led to this sick display of sadistic psychological torture. It's really not that far removed from the thinking that was common when the Salem witch trials were held a few hundred years ago. I would imagine that this young man will suffer emotional and psychological problems for a very long time. Very sad.

I don't think I'd be so surprised if this were a film on a heathen tribe or something living in the raw Outback, but to think that these people live right here in a supposedly civilized America, in MODERN TIMES and are behaving like that...how utterly disturbing! So what next for this poor kid? After this ridiculous display they're calling an "exorcism" he'll still be gay. Duh. But if he doesn't end up committing suicide (which I hate to even say and I bless him now, as I write, that he can find the strength to remove himself from such toxic people) as a result of guilt that he still isn't "cured", he'll probably later get married and live a sham of a life, making himself, and his poor wife miserable- and I'd say there's a good chance he will cheat on her with a man at some point or another. Is that being true to god and onesself?!? Or, if he doesn't find the strength to leave, and cannot bear to live a lie and get married to a woman, he might pretend to live a celibate lifestyle to please his nasty and judgemental church, but have uncommitted sexual relationships with various men on the sly in order not to get caught, and live with a lifetime of guilt.

My heart goes out to this boy. I am trying very hard to contain my anger and not say anything more than I already have about the orchestrators of this ritual, so all I'll say is shame on them for perpetuating such an archaic notion that homosexuality is a "demon" and can actually be expelled from one's body. And just like Montanaguy said, I'm sure if it were socially acceptable they'd burn him at the stake like they did the "witches" in the 1600s...

The irony of it all (what you said about a heathen tribe) is that at least in my Nation (Comanche), homosexuals were/are not outcast or seen as something wrong. They were accepted. This, AFAIK, is universal among North American native tribes. In some, they are even seen as sacred beings, called two-spirit, by some tribes.

No and NO.

What I see is child abuse.

European anthropolgists termed them "Berdache".
