I have little tolerance for homophobia whatever the justification used by the individual to make their position appear reasonable. Religious based bigotry is as unacceptable. Get a load of this… .

Instilling guilt in a young man for being gay is as anti-love, anti-God, anti-Jesus an act as anything I can conceive.
In the name of Jesus, you homosexual spirit…
We call you out right now!
Hiding behind a bible makes one no less a hateful bigot. Masking their ignorance and couching their words in Biblical verse makes them even more despicable.

But, Mario, she is right. There are all kinds of spirits. She got rid of the cocaine spirit. Now she has the BIGOT spirit. I think she also has the WACKO SPIRIT, along with all the others with LOONEY SPIRITS dancing around shouting, “In the name of Jesus.”
I can only imagine how many gay young men and women go through the torment this young man must suffer. The crime? Being who you are. The judge? Ignorance.
And people are still doing this? what a horrendous event for this young man. I do not know what it is like to be hated for who I am and can only imagine what this young man went through. My heart goes out to him.
On another note, what happens to the homosexual spirit once it is out of the boy? It might be roaming around how do the they folk who did the casting out protected against such a spirit inhabiting them?
Ooo…watch out, they might catch “the gay” as Rachel Maddow says.
I have a gay sister. We (four of us) grew up in a Southern Baptist home. It was hell in itself what parents do in the name of God. Thankfully, I got away from that mindset at 17 and never looked back.
If you are of a religious bent, the Bible is not ambiguous about homosexuality. It is very clear that homosexuality and God are not compatible.
Is a religious person’s “intolerance” for homosexuality any different than your (or others)”little tolerance” for homophobia? Aside from that, you and your ilk overuse the “phobia” designation. Most people tolerate homosexuality, even accommodate it. I think very few are “phobic” about the lifestyle choices of others. They just don’t “accept” it. Why can’t you “heterophobes” let it go at that?
Aside from that, for whatever reasons, this gentleman came to the Church seeking help. Who are you or I to tell him he doesn’t need or deserve the help he voluntarily sought out?
Another curious thing. Why do you think CNN chose to display in caption only phrases that might seem a bit more outrageous? You could scarcely make out anything that was being said. Why not do captions on all that was said? Surely the wonderful, “fair and balanced CNN could not be guilty of attempting to color opinion??
I find it astonishing that you cannot see the inherent wrong in forcing this young man and others like him to feel guilt and shame and requiring a cleaning of the soul for his gayness.
No one is asking you or anyone else to accept anything. Just leave them alone. You can think whatever you wish of homosexuals, no one cares. The problem is when anyone tries to deny them equal rights or wishes to “cure” them. Can we not just let them all live their lives in peace?
@deedee….as best I can tell, he was not “forced” into anything. I’m sure most of us have engaged in some sort of activity that we later felt some guilt for. If this young man feels “guilty” because he cannot balance his sexual preferences against his religion, who are you or I to invalidate his feelings? Or is it that you are only into invalidating one’s feeling if they do not wholly and openly embrace their “homosexuality”?
No one tried to deny this young man any right. No one tried to “force” a cure on him. Apparently, he felt uncomfortable enough with himself that he sought help in keeping with HIS religious beliefs.
Do you think it your place to deny him the “right” of equal access to his “God”?

Geez-us-key-riced!
Hopefully someone with clout in the LGBT community can find this guy and rescue him.

Dahl’s video link is worth a watch. Religion based hatred explained.
