'Missing' Man Sought by Gay Pal Is Willingly Undergoing Counseling, Family Says - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com
My opinion is that the guy is 23 years old, so if he wants to undergo therapy to 'cure' himself of homosexuality, go right ahead. I don't agree with the activist's opinion, that the family is forcing him to go (and if they are, he has the option to simply say "no"). However, I think it's ridiculous that organizations like Exodus International are free to operate with that agenda. Turnabout is fair play - if some backwards group can operate freely in the US with the goal of 'curing' someone of homosexuality, I see no problem with educating children about homosexuality and acceptance in a public school system.
EXCLUSIVE: A 23-year-old pre-med student who "got caught up with friends who were pulling him" toward homosexuality is well and undergoing Christian counseling, his family says.
But a gay activist who created a Web site to locate the "missing" man says Bryce Faulkner's silence speaks volumes, claiming that the young man's religious parents are controlling his every move in an effort to "cure" him of his homosexuality.
Debra Faulkner, of El Dorado, Ark., denied the Web site's reports that her son was forced against his will to undergo reparative therapy for homosexuality at Exodus International, a nonprofit Christian organization that seeks "freedom from homosexuality" through Jesus Christ.
