A YouTube video posted by a Connecticut church showing what appeared to be a so-called "gay" exorcism has drawn much criticism. The 20-minute video, though not labeled as such, and since taken down, referred to casting "homosexual demons" from the 16-year-old boy's body.
In the video, you can hear a woman yell:
"Rip it from his throat! Come on, you homosexual demon! You homosexual spirit, we call you out right now! Loose your grip, Lucifer!"
Others shouted the following, as the teenager is showed apparently vomiting into a bag:
"Come out of his belly. It's in the belly — push."
"Get another bag. Make sure you have your gloves."
Later, the teenager is back on the floor, breathing heavily. Then he's coughing and apparently vomiting into a bag.
The church in the video is Manifested Glory Ministries, and the elders have refused to comment on the video itself, with Rev. Patricia McKinney only telling AP:
"We believe a man should be with a woman and a woman should be with a man. We have nothing against homosexuals. I just don't agree with their lifestyle."
Robin McHaelen, executive director of True Colors, an advocacy group for gay youths, said the video appeared abusive and she planned to report the incident to the Connecticut Department of Children and Families. She told AP:
"I think it's horrifying. What saddens me is the people that are doing this think they are doing something in the kid's best interests, when in fact they're murdering his spirit.
"They have this kid in a full nelson. That just seems abusive to me."
