One's sexual orientation is not a choice. You are attracted to who you are attracted to. I will admit that engaging in sexual activity, whether homosexual or heterosexual, is a choice. But what sex "trips your trigger" is not a choice. Either you like boys, or you like girls, or you like 'em both. I hope that clears this up. It just angers me when someone implies that sexual orientation is a choice. It is not!
So anyone that does something "wrong" or "sinful" has a demon in them. People should try using that in court!

OMG!!! What a bunch of Frakin' feces!!!! Just another excuse to not take responsibility for one's own actions!! "It's not my fault, a demon made me do it!" PUHLEASE!!!! Demons do not make people do bad things (not that homosexuality is a bad thing, just nature), people decide to do bad things!!!
Also, let me make this VERY clear to all the non-homosexuals out there! HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A CHOICE!!!!!!! We didn't wake up one day and say to ourselves, "Hey, I don't feel nearly as ostracized by society as I would like. I have way too many civil rights! I know, I'll be gay!!!" I mean really, folks, did you decide to be heterosexual?? Or is it just what you are??? Ignorant statements saying homosexuality is a choice really grind my goat! SO DON'T BE IGNORANT AND THINK BEFORE YOU SAY SUCH THINGS!!!

Spoken like some who hasn't a clue what they are talking about. And yes, I was screaming in a way, not just at you, but at anyone who is ignorant enough to think that sexual orientation is somehow a choice or that it is learned. I also don't need a biology lesson from you or anyone else. I am quite familiar with how the plumbing works.
As to the workings of spirituality, I am far more versed in the subject than you appear to be. People like you think you have all the answers on the subject of spirituality, when in fact a true student of spirituality (which all on this plane of existance are) should have nothing but questions, which when you think you find the answers only lead to more questions. Demons are a creation of the human mind, and if you do truly believe in them, they do exist for you, only because of the power of your own mind.

Wow, well this conversation is getting a bit out of hand now isn't it? Anyway, I have posted my thoughts on this topic, but perhaps I should go into detail a little more.
Legalized Child Abuse is what that tape shows, pure and simple. The second thing is, even if by some weird coincidence that child was no longer "gay", it was out of fear, not being exorcized.
Secondly, no homosexuality is not a choice. Trust me, If I could be straight, I certainly would be. What a wonderful thing that must be. But I am not, and although I will agree that sexual activity is a matter of choice, who I am attracted to isn't.
I don't have to use philosphy either, I can use Biology. Attraction is a chemical trigger in everybody's brain. Certain chemicals mix together to create the sensation of sexual desire or emotional desire. These things I have no control over, they are a natural occuring event.
Whether it be form past child experiences, or the general environment in which I was brought up in, I will never know. But what people fail to realize, is this is just like black vs white fifty or sixty years ago.
Where there is NO difference in between these people but some silly thing such as skin colour, and yet people loose their minds over it. In this day and age? Don't you all think that is a bit ridiculous?
How could you, as a parent, christian or not, condone such disrespect, pain and emotional scarring for your child? It's suppose to be for his own good? I fail to see the logic in that.
Then again, I think we've revolved the conversation around whether it's ok to be gay or not, which is not the point. This is about a child who was put through a ridiculous activity, because of the fear and ignorance that lives within adult hearts.

My god, Gay Demons eh? I must be hella possesed then.
Anyway, on topic I would assume that we won't hear about this at all in any of the major news outlets, but I would love to hear from that kid, see if it "worked" .
This is just ludicrous behaviour, and your right, what a bunch of morons for filming the thing. What was is suppose to be, an educational video for the Vatican?
"Welcome To Exorcising Your Gay 101" They will probably get the ShamWoW guy to do the infomerical.
Sad...
