Gay "Exorcism" Get's Time on Tyra

By , About.com Guide   September 27, 2009

Follow me on:

Ever since a video of an a Connecticut church performing an "exorcism" on a gay teen turned up on YouTube last summer, the topic has been getting some coverage.

Last week, Tyra got into the act, bringing a 16-year-old "ex-gay" on to her show. The teen made a rather unconvincing argument for the effectiveness of his exorcism. (You can check out clips here). And while you couldn't help but feel bad for the guy, and worry that there would be fallout as a result of his TV appearance, at least the episode did a good job of highlighting just how off base claims of anti-gay remedies are.

Some cruel servants of religion can do a lot of harm
for boys and girls of school ages. Parents ! Be on the alert.
Friendship with the same sex is usual for youngsters.
Boys,getting older, make a good match with girls.
