Stephanie Seymour got a lot of attention last month when she was frolicking on the beach with her 17-year-old son, Peter Brant II, as if they were secret lovers, but he says there was nothing weird about any of it.

“My mother and I are very close as she is with all her children. She often hugs and kisses me and my siblings in a manner that is intimate. Any mother in the world does the same. That day on the beach we walked around with each other completely aware of the presence of photographers there.”
“We have nothing to hide and with that in mind I would like to say that I am openly gay. At my age my mother and I are almost like friends and I feel open to talk to her about anything (and yes, our relationship may be different because of my sexuality).”

Does he seriously think, “Any mother in the world does the same.” I would punch my mom in the face if she tried to kiss me like that. That’s not how parents interact with their kids. At least not in my family. I tried to hug my dad at Christmas and he told me to, “back off, fag.” I don’t know if that’s normal but it seems more normal than this.
