(Anderson, County, South Carolina) Police want to question an Anderson, South Carolina man about allegations he assaulted his 18-year old son with a baseball bat when the teen returned home from a gay pride parade.
A police report filed by the teenager and obtained by The Anderson Independent newspaper said that the father yelled, swung the bat and tried to "cast the demon of homosexuality out of him."
The teen claims in the incident report that the 49-year old father prayed as he swung the bat. There is no indication he was struck.
The unnamed teen was then thrown out of the house.
Several days later when the teen returned home to pick up his clothes he alleges he was punched.
The police report said the teen told deputies that his father "has a problem with him being gay and that is why he hit him with the baseball bat Sunday" the paper reported.
Deputies are investigating both incidents but say they have not been able to make contact with the father.
