The parents of Bryce Faulkner, a young man who was reported missing by friends and his boyfriend, say he is undergoing anti-gay counseling at his own will.

“He’s fine,” Debra Faulkner told FOXNews.com. “All the stories you’ve been told are not true.”

However, a man who claims to be Bryce’s boyfriend doubts the validity of Mrs. Faulkner’s statement.

Travis Swanson says he and Faulkner are boyfriends and refuses to take down a website to help Bryce until he is told to do so by his alleged boyfriend. Now Bryce’s parents are threatening to sue.

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

Through a statement released by a family spokesperson, Bryce says he is seeking treatment on his own accord.

“Every decision that I’ve made has been based solely upon my beliefs and I have not been manipulated or coerced by anyone to do anything,” Bryce Faulkner’s statement read. He declined further comment.
