A young man secretly filmed the aftermath of coming out to his religious family, and the result is a shocking reminder of how young LGBT people can be rejected by their families for revealing their true selves.

The shocking video starts off somewhat civilised, but quickly escalates to hostility and violence when the young man, Daniel, asserts that being gay was not his choice. He is told that he must move out of his family home before being physically assaulted.

The video was first shared on Reddit this week, and has since garnered over half a million views.
