Last week, in, “Exorcism Of A Gay Demon. Seriously?,” I asked,
“The degree of how abhorrent this is is frightening. I wonder how the exorcistee is doing? I wonder how his soul is now?”
Alvin McEwen, author of “Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters,” today writes,
“The church, Manifest Gloried Ministries, is an African-American church and that to me is one of the saddest things of all. It demonstrates just how removed the modern lgbt rights movement is from the lgbt of color community.
More infuriating than that are the comments made by the church’s head Pastor Patricia McKinney, who was featured in the video supposedly exorcising the child:
“Manifested Glory Ministries is not against homosexuality. We do not hate them. We do not come up against them. We do just not believe in their lifestyle.”
That’s just the biggest degree of doublespeak since the term was invented. If the church has nothing against the lgbt community then why does it feel the need to think of homosexuality as a demonic spirit that needs to be exorcised?”
What do you think?
