In a recent Reddit post, a 28-year-old man shared his story of being disowned by his parents for being gay. After eight years of silence, his niece asked why he never attended the family Christmas gathering. The man was faced with a difficult decision: to tell his niece the truth or to continue with his fabricated excuse. He chose the former, and the results were unfortunate. Read on to learn more about the family feud that ensued and to find out if the man was in the wrong.
