”He’s fine. All the stories you’ve been told are not true…. Bryce] got caught up with friends who were pulling him that way. He just wants to take some time and figure out what he wants to do with his life.”
Debra Faulkner of Arkansas, as quoted by Fox News which has picked up on the curious story of her son Bryce Faulkner, a 23-year-old medical student who was allegedly cut off by his parents after his mother discovered he was having a relationship with Travis Swanson of Wisconsin. Swanson says he fears Faulkner is being controlled against his will by Exodus, a so-called “ex-gay” group in Florida the performs ”reparative therapy” designed to get homosexuals to magically turn into heterosexuals through ”the love of Jesus Christ.” YouTube videos have been posted, but Facebook groups that were created to “Save Bryce” have reportedly been removed by the web site company.
