Grandfather disowns daughter after daughter disowns gay son
02 October 2013 | By Joe Morgan
"And when a parent is as heartless to throw a gay child out onto the streets, that son or daughter is often alone and homeless.
But in the case of one teen called Chad, his grandfather could not believe his daughter Christine could disown her child.
'You're correct that we have a "shame in the family", but are mistaken about who it is,' he says."

Not about trans* people specifically, but I felt the need to share this short article. (:

I remember reading this last year.
Has there been an update, does anyone know? I'd love to know whether the grandfather's words had an effect.
