Definitely don't put him in a camp. Thats gonna make him think you don't want to deal with his problems and like you're giving up on him. Prayer and understanding kindness will help him through. I would pray to God and ask Him to give you the right words to say to help your son through this. I would also go talk to the school cuz they may be indoctrinating him behind your back more than the obvious things. Don't go scorched earth, but try to figure out what's going on. Humility and kindness go a long ways. God will take care of the wrath part when it's time lol. He knows when it's time for you to give someone an earful or more
A lot of trolls from r/politics and r/selfawarewolves like to come into this forum and take screenshots. One example was the "really sad OP" who was suddenly depressed Trump suggested the vaccine, and said he lost everything from his job to his family by saying "no" all yesr. It seemed fake but it went viral on reddit. I suspect they make the posts, get people riled up on here, take a screenshot, then champion their "finding" back at their home base.
If you look at OPs history is all religious + communist talk.
I've been to bible college in small town bible belt Midwest, been to scores of different churches across the globe, and have friends and family who are gay or turned trans. I've never heard anyone suggest a camp.
Camps are considered abhorrent in reddit, so to get a bunch of us to agree on a camp would into add fuel to their dying fire filed by mockery and anger.
I'd say OP is a troll.
Edit: reading OPs post history I would confidently state OP is a troll. I've been a member of T_D, TD.w, and now here, and I've never seen anyone this blatantly "anti gay patriot" in my six years browsing. It's like OP is trying to "be" what he expects us to be, only to become charicature.
The fact that he's talking about a pray the gay away style camp is alone pretty cringe, but I answered genuinely nonetheless.
If it's a serious post, and there are really other religious people who feel this way, I would absolutely urge them to re-examine themselves because family comes first.
It is legitimately against the Bible to force everyone else into your path. If you believe in God and you believe in salvation, and you believe we are all sinners anyway, then you need to understand that we have to find our own way, and if we seek forgiveness we do so of our own accord. To be coerced removes meaning, and to coerce would be morally unjustifiable.
This is absolutely the type of thing that got the Bible thumper stereotype and this behavior did more damage to this country's values than any religious person wants to admit.

Riding the top comment to say this:

First thing that came to mind.
Well said. I wouldn't doubt it if OP is a shill. There's been a YUGE influx of them lately
