Oklahoma man says church members held him down, tried to pray away his homosexuality [View all]
An Oklahoma man says members of a church his family attends held him down and tried to pray away his homosexuality.
The incident happened this month at First Assembly of God Church in Blackwell, about 100 miles north of Oklahoma City, according to TV station KFOR.
At the end of church services, Sean Cormie and his partner Gary Gardner claim about a dozen congregants surrounded them and began praying loudly. At the same time, a pastor allegedly made anti-gay statements. Cormie says someone even punched him in the face.
“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,” Cormie said. “I was just crying ‘mercy, mercy.’”
