A gay couple and their family had a get-together for the first time since the pandemic hit. During the event, one of their nephews asked which of them was 'the woman,' prompting them to respond humorously. They created a points system and debated the gendering of breakfast foods. However, the nephew got sulkier and sulkier until he walked away in disgust. The couple thought it was a harmless way of responding, but now the nephew's brother alleges they ganged up on a child. Were they in the wrong? Read more to find out if they're the a**holes.

Gay couple and family mock nephew's gender question, now accused. 😂🤔
A gay couple and their family had a get-together, during which their nephew asked a question that offended them. Instead of getting upset, they made a joke out of it. They started noting down their various 'feminine' and 'masculine' aspects, deliberately absurd stuff like who wears more pink, who cries easier, who's better at sports, and who's got better survival skills. The other adults joined in, and they made up a points system and debated the gendering of breakfast foods. However, the nephew didn't find it amusing and got upset, accusing them of ganging up on him. The couple and the family never meant to hurt him, but now they are questioning if they were in the wrong. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
