"&lt;strong&gt;Stephanie Seymour&lt;/strong&gt; and her 17-year-old son Peter took some online heat after a couple of weirdly affectionate photos of them in St. Bart's surfaced last week -- but now Peter says it's A-O.K. because he's gay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0921-media-removed-britney\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/09/21/0921-media-removed-britney-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a message posted on his &lt;a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/pages/Peter-Brant-II/146905225345843\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facebook&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a href=\"http://gawker.com/5730207/stephanie-seymours-son-responds-youre-all-gross\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gawker&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;), Peter Brant II writes \"I would just like to say that these pictures have been taken completely out of context ... she often hugs and kisses me and my siblings in an 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.\" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brant continues, \"We have nothing to hide and with that in mind I would like to say that I am openly gay. &amp;#160;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).\"&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div style=\"float: right;\"&gt;&lt;!-- relatedpoll --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;br /&gt;That being said ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://photos.tmz.com/galleries/stephanie_seymours_bikini_bod_photo_gallery#tab=most_recent\"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
