		<description>The guy is 23? He&#039;s a grown man..why all the fuss? Im not against him loving anyone..it is however a bit weird so many people are talking about him and he and his family say nothing. Maybe he and his family and or/boyfriend or even girlfriend..want to be left alone?</description>

		<description>Sorry,

The clip that I copied from the interview didn&#039;t paste, let me try that again.  You said:

&quot;Swanson recalls, at length, a healthy and romantic relationship that gradually developed between him and Faulkner over the past two years. Swanson says it was his first gay relationship.&quot;

Travis never said they had been together for two years.

The Quest reporter was referring to himself when he said:

&quot;Quest: So then you got to know him in these online conversations. I&#039;m very sympathetic to this as I sit here with my partner sitting in the next room. It&#039; been five and a half years, and it was three years before we actually met.
  We&#039;ve been seeing each other physically whenever possible for the last two years. And you think you have a long distance relationship? Try beating the 6900 miles between our two front doors! 
  My partner deals with similar issues that Bryce was dealing with: disapproval issues in his home country, his family and his culture. 
  But I know I grew to know him in this long distance relationship through IMs, texts and emails in ways that you never do in a relationship with a person sitting next to you in a bar or restaurant. 
  In some ways it&#039; almost Victorian. People used to exchange letters back and forth before they ever met. So yours is a kind of 21st Century Victorian love story. You got to know each other through texting and talking to each other without ever touching.&quot;

Thank you again, I just don&#039;t want things being misquoted.</description>

		<description>Michael,

I must correct you.  In the last paragraph of your article you say:

&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;

That is not true.  Travis never said they had been together for two years.  You were quoting the reporter from Quest:

&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;

The entire interview can be see here:
http://www.quest-online.com/NewFiles/Quest_Newsroom_247.html

I just wanted to clear that up.

Thank you.</description>

		<description>I believe there already are several such groups.

For example, the National Youth Advocacy Coalition:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/National-Youth-Advocacy-Coalition-NYAC/16082597892

http://www.nyacyouth.org/

There are many GLBT advocacy groups that do not shut people out.</description>

		<description>I do find it interesting that we have not heard him speak for himself. And these guys running that group said he is now better in God&#039;s eyes. 

First, I doubt has eyes. If he were nearsighted, would he wear contacts or giant glasses?

Second, with that kind of pressure and guilt, if these crazies did speak to Bryce, he probably told them exactly what they wanted to hear.</description>

		<description>&quot;Oh yes he&#039;s totally happy and wanted to do this. What? Can he speak without his every word going through us? Uh...&quot;</description>

		<description>Nelson, neither Travis Swanson nor anyone else affiliated with Bryce Faulkner has called for a Facebook boycott. 
And you didn&#039;t bother to answer my questions.

You have made a virtual career of claiming to be the only legitimate gay activist in the world, and of accusing various websites that disagree with you of being poseurs.

It must be nice to be king of the mountain.</description>

		<description>I guess that means you won&#039;t cancel your Facebook out of solidarity and respect.  Now we know.

Facebook bans people convicted of so called sex offenses from registering an account; they do so with impunity.

Given that Facebook ban the two other groups because they were created without Bryce&#039;s permission or consent, couldn&#039;t the same be said about Please Pray For Bryce?

Please, Mike, don&#039;t play naive on this issue.  It undermines your credibility.  

You know as well as I that when cafeteria christians &quot;praying for&quot; someone, it&#039;s not for good health and a long life.</description>
