Description: When Chevon Cleveland came out to her estranged father six years ago, she did not receive a warm welcome. After being invited to New Jersey for a large family get together, he got drunk and complained about his daughter’s sexuality to any family member within earshot. Though Chevon put up with his incessant harassment throughout that day, she finally put her foot down when her dad cornered her children - one of whom is gay. In that moment, she had had enough, physically separated her father from her children and sent him packing all the way back to his home in Louisiana.
