Colbert: The Problem With Exorcisms Of Gay Teens Is That They Put Gay Demons On The Loose

A Connecticut pastor created a stir this week after a video of her performing an exorcism on a gay teen hit YouTube. Pastor Patricia McKinney of Connecticut’s Manifested Glory Ministries then went on CNN to “let the world know out there that Manifested Glories Ministries is not against homosexuality. We do not hate them. We do not come up against them. We just do not believe in their lifestyle.” And to explain that her church believes in different… See

Walsh: A step back for gay Utahns

Reading the headlines, the news isn’t good for gay Utahns.

Former Equality Utah Director Mike Thompson has moved to San Francisco, taking his organizing skills from Holladay to the Haight. He says it’s personal, not professional.

Then, Pride Week opened with what looks like a hate crime.

Christopher Vonnegut Allen was arrested after allegedly beating his gay neighbors — a man and a woman — bloody in Ogden. One victim needed surgery. You may not have heard of it. Prosecutors charged Allen with only one count of burglary.

And this week, two nice Mormon ladies from Santa Cruz decided to give their unwilling church one more chance to reconcile with its gay members and the LGBT community outside the flock.

While the rest of the country moves forward — New Hampshire, New York, Iowa, for goodness sake — this place seems perpetually stuck.

It probably helps that Thompson missed the headlines. Still, he’s optimistic.

“You can’t have a defeatist attitude,” he says. “You’ve got to press against it in order to even hope for a change.”

He points to Salt Lake City’s nondiscrimination ordinance and domestic partners registry, an anti-bullying law, polls that show Utahns supported the Common Ground Initiative (even if lawmakers didn’t).

“Maybe they’re not significant in some people’s minds, but there are measurables there,” he says. “People are having conversations. Change is going to come sooner or later.”

Thousands turn out for Jerusalem’s Gay Pride parade

About 2,000 participants in a gay pride parade have marched peacefully through Jerusalem.

In past years, the gay pride event in the holy city provoked violent protests, even stabbings, by ultra-Orthodox Jews and extremists. But this year, except for one egg-throwing incident, there were no clashes.

Police said they arrested the egg-tossing protester. Others put up signs and demonstrated in an ultra-Orthodox section of Jerusalem, far away from the parade See Thousands turn out for Jerusalem’s Gay Pride parade Ha’aretz
