Gay Grandchild Demands Half Of The $50K Her Brother Got After Her Homophobic Grandpa Cut Her Off His Will
Injustice is something that each and every one of us is quite familiar with. Most people witness it and are victims of it several times in their lifetime, and there's nothing anyone can do to prevent it.

We usually tolerate injustice from strangers and people who don't interact with us that much. However, when your own family members are biased and don't treat you like your peers, it can be heartbreaking.
Just like everyone else, family members can also be prejudiced, and even your blood ties can't protect you from their doctrine. It's something many people learned how to live with by simply cutting contact or at least reducing it.
A Redditor who later deleted his account made a post on the r/AmItheA**hole subReddit where he explained how his homophobic grandfather recently passed away and didn't leave any inheritance for his sister because she's part of the LGBTQ+ community. The sister demanded half of the inheritance, but the user felt as if she was not entitled to what's now legally his money.
The r/AmItheA**hole community had a lot of different reactions to the user's post. Scroll down to check out the full Reddit post, and scroll a little further to read the comments from the original post.
Here's the original post by a Reddit user who later deleted his account:
OP and his grandfather were both combat veterans, which helped them to understand each other better than others.
OP got along with his grandfather well, except that he disapproved of his views on the LGBTQ+ community.
OP's sister is part of the LGBTQ+ community and had cut all contact with her grandpa long ago.
P doubted how he handled the situation, which pushed him to consult with the Reddit community.
Here's how the Reddit community reacted to the user's post:
OP is well aware that it's unfair his sister didn't get any inheritance.
OP already made his decision and never intended to be fair.
At least he was honest about it.
"You were the golden grandchild and now reap the benefits from the fact she was a target rather than because of your own action."
If Op's sister was straight, she would have received the amount she asked for.
OP needs to do what's morally correct despite being able to legally keep the money.
That's when the bonds are at their strongest.
What the sister attempted is no different than OP's decision to keep all the money.
OP should recognize that the grandfather's treatment was unfair.
"OP would be the a-hole if he doesn't share with his sister."
OP could change the ratio but should still give his sister something.
If you want nothing to do with someone, you should not take their money.
"Greed is the sister's only motive."
"A 50/50 split would be the simplest way to go."
The sister should at least have a cut of the inheritance.
Well, this was an interesting story. OP isn't legally obligated to share the inheritance money with his sister.
However, he could do the moral thing by giving his sister a percentage he's comfortable with or go 50/50 and get it over with.
