So, apparently being gay ISN'T a "Lifestyle Choice"...
from WCBS radio:

Outrage Over Exorcism of "Gay" Demons

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) -- The video shows the 16-year-old boy lying on the floor, his body convulsing, as elders of a small Connecticut church cast a ``homosexual demon'' from his body.

``Rip it from his throat!'' a woman yells. ``Come on, you homosexual demon! You homosexual spirit, we call you out right now! Loose your grip, Lucifer!''

...snip...

The 20-minute video posted on YouTube by Manifested Glory Ministries is being called abuse by gay and youth advocates, who are demanding an investigation. But a church official this week denied that the teenager was injured or that the church is prejudiced.

``We believe a man should be with a woman and a woman should be with a man,'' the Rev. Patricia McKinney told The Associated Press. ``We have nothing against homosexuals. I just don't agree with their lifestyle.''


I hope someone tells him he's got a nice lawsuit coming if he wants it...

2. She got the numbers wrong:
``We believe a man should be with a woman and a woman should be with a man,'' the Rev. Patricia McKinney told The Associated Press. ``We have nothing against homosexuals. I just don't agree with their lifestyle.''

Should have been "a man with some women and a woman with one man," just based on today's news.

3. Would you like a memory of writhing and convulsing on the floor while somebody screams at you?
There's plenty of injury that doesn't leave bruises.

4. The end justifies the means
At least when it comes to "saving" those dirty homosexuals. Or saving the heteros from the homosexuals. :eyes:

5. Yes, he does have a lawsuit. As a minor, the statute doesn't begin to run until age 18.
He can wait until he's reached 18, get a lawyer, and sue them for a variety of torts.

6. Well, not quite like nude hiking the Appalachian Trail to a tryst in Argentina.
I don't think that anyone has tried to exorcise that esoteric demon, so it must be a lifestyle choice instead. ;-)
