Imagine being kicked out of your home for coming out, and then your own family refuses to let you stay with them.

His father didn’t take it well, and his mother asked her brother if Tyler could stay with them until things calmed down. However, the uncle refused, and it’s not just because of the recent events. There’s a history of bullying and bad behavior that has torn this family apart.
