"[Bryce] got caught up with friends who were pulling him that way," she said. "He just wants to take some time and figure out what he wants to do with his life."

Through a family representative, her son denied being coerced into attending counseling.

=====================================================

Parents, PLEASE be involved with your kids.

KNOW the company they keep.

Make your KIDS the priority instead of $$$$.

The “kid” is 23. He doesn’t need his parents chaperoning his dates.

The ex-boyfriend needs to move on and understand Bryce went back with his family for a reason it was his own choice. That said, the whole situation is full of crazy.

“Tolerance is a two-way street.”

Guess the gay militant movement didn’t get that memo. Or tore it up.

"Bryce said he'd take me on the most amazing date of my life and definitely fulfilled," Swanson said. "Dinner, candles, flowers — he went all out."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the kid is in fact gay.

Good luck if he's able to change, but I'm not convinced it's possible. He can at least go celibate, though.

We are seeing more and more articles that make people of faith look like kooks.
Homosexuals are notoriously promiscuous, and it has nothing to do with “love.” I’m sure Brett Harris is not pining away alone.
Oh horrors, Michael Jackson’s mother is a Jehovah Witness, and she will be guardian of his children...
This article is not about the missing man, but part of an agenda.

Here's a very telling coment form the article: "He's being economically blackmailed, that's what it is," Swanson said, referring to perceived threats that Bryce's parents would take away his car and privileges if he declined to seek help. "They say they're going to cure somebody for something that's not treatable."

If the guy is truly and adult, wants to make adult decisions in his life for right or wrong, he can't have it both ways. His parents have the right to spend their money as they see fit and to set conditions on the use of that money. He doesn't like it? He can work and make his own money.

Why is everyone assumng that the gay guy is not telling the truth? When does one technically beome an adult? Why was the mom hacking into her 23 year old sons e-mail?
And how come the son has not said himself that he was not coerced?

He's 23 years old, and he can make up his own mind.

Go straight and keep the ride, or go gay and sashay.

They didn’t want to cause any harm to the family. /s

That’s why they put their contact information (including business) on the web!

Plus, emails from the Faulkners

******

I know the Faulkners and they haven’t forced Bryce into anything. They are being nicer people about this than I would, that’s for sure!

I agree with that, totally.

When they are kids (I have 7).

A 23-year old is a grown man. Treating grown men and women like children (or "kids") is the source of great mischief.

She said Brett Harris, who created the “Help Save Bryce” Web site, had posted her phone number and home address, resulting in dozens of harassing calls and threatening letters to her home

Ah, those tolerant homofacists...........

But if the situation had been reversed and the kid was raised by gay parents and had been getting pulled in then direction of Christianity and his gay parents were having him undergo counseling to “de-program” him from that Christian influence, they would have been the heroes.

And essentially, that’s what’s happening. The parents are being demonized for pulling him back from a potential homosexual relationship, after he had been pulled in that direction. But I guess pulling him towards homosexuality is OK.

This world deserves what it has coming to it some day.

There is a YouTube video on the "Save Bryce" website that charges the "fundamentalist" parents with threatening their son with homelessness if he did not agree to go into therapy. Trouble is, the young man is not a high school student; he's a 23-year-old college graduate (paid for by the parents, no doubt), and evidently could find a job to pay his living expenses if his parents cut off whatever support they provide. Frankly, this controversy reminds me of the Henry Louis Gates nonsense, with all the usual villains, victims, and drama queens.

This story is really no one’s business except for the people directly involved.
