US police accused of paying evangelical couple to turn a gay woman straight

(XP from R&T Forum)

A LESBIAN, who was ordered last year by a court to undergo hospital therapy for her drug addiction, wound up instead in the clutches of an evangelical couple, who were allegedly paid $600 by Bartow County Sheriff�s Department to �cure� her of her homosexuality.

--snip--

The lawsuit also alleges:

At all times relevant to this action, it was the normal procedure, practice and custom of Defendants Bartow County, Brown, and Clark Milsap to harass homosexuals taken into custody, to mandate that homosexuals taken into custody refrain from living as homosexuals, and to forbid them from maintaining any homosexual relationships.

3. "The Mercy House is ran by Chris and Donna Mcdowell"

That's a statement from Mercy House's own website...

http://www.foreverblessedministries.com/MercyHouse.html

For you lurking freepers and teabaggers who fail to see anything odd about the statement, "The Mercy House is ran by Chris and Donna Mcdowell," I understand fully. Education is, as you know, a liberal plot.

(Hint: It's an error that is separate from the fact that they misspelled their own last name.)

4. On closer inspection, I'm wondering if Mercy House is actually a hoax

Phone: (415) 555-5555

Just like in the movies ... a "555" phone prefix.

6. Nothing, IMO. Instead, they're exhibiting...

...their functional illiteracy and inattention to detail (assuming the whole website isn't one big unfunny prank).
