A Man in Oklahoma Has Accused Church Mob Of "Holding Me Down To Pray The Gay Away"
A gay man from Oklahoma has accused a group of churchgoers of holding him down and trying to pray away his sexuality.
“They hold me down, pin me down, and I’m crying, and the Holy Spirit just comes through me, and they keep speaking in tongues, praying over me,” 23-year-old Cormie said. “I was just crying, ‘Mercy, mercy.’”
Cormie, who only came out last spring, said: “I wanted to go to church and make my mom proud”.
However, the pastor of the Pentecostal church Bill McKissick and his wife, Tammi, claim that there was “much more to the story”.
“This incident began as a family matter that escalated. Our church would never condone restraint of any person unless they were engaged in violent activity,” the McKissicks wrote in the since-deleted Facebook post.
Police have started an investigation.
