| Message | Bryce, God loves you no matter who you are, no matter who you love. I had a similar coming-out experience with my parents. I was met with fear, anger, and hatred. They wanted to send me to a similar camp to make me "straight" again - but I refused. I was happy with who I was and realized God loves me no matter what. Since then, I have been with my partner Devin for four years of love and happiness; my parents have changed for the better and now have no issues with us (they even love having Devin around). Follow your heart and love will find a way. You are not alone. It's hard when parents force ultimatums like this, but know that your story has already affected lives across the world and that you are loved and have support. Travis loves you, and that's worth everything in this world. Please come home to him. Together you two can take on the world and you'll find that life has more in store for you. I sincerely hope this message finds you. As someone who was once in a similar situation, this affects me deeply and I'll keep you in my prayers. With all love, hope, and truth, Andrew Scheppmann Anaheim, CA |
