A 16-year-old boy is grappling with the consequences of his older brother’s decision to come out to their parents as gay two years ago.

He recently told his brother that he is responsible for their mother’s cancer, leading to a heated argument between the two siblings. Was the boy in the wrong for saying what he did?
