Florida teen forced out by parents receives prestigious internship

Seth Owen has earned a prestigious internship with U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Winter Park) and is thriving at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

Owen moved out of his conservative parents’ home after undergoing conversion therapy and being forced to attend what he described as hate-filled sermons at the family’s small Baptist church. His homelessness put his plans to attend college in jeopardy — until his teachers at First Coast High School started a GoFundMe page to help.

Meanwhile, Georgetown University agreed to adjust his financial package so that he would pay $0 tuition!
