13:15Now Playing"A 20-year-old college student in Kennesaw, Georgia recorded a violent, anti-gay 'intervention' that his family conducted, video of which has gone viral, netting more than 2 million views on YouTube and pulling in donations and messages of support from all over the world.
"Daniel Ashley Pierce told Huffington Post Thursday that he came out to his family in October of 2013, but that on Wednesday, his father, stepmother, mother and grandparents assembled in his father’s house to disown him and cut off all support if he refused to submit to religious counseling, so-called 'pray away the gay' therapy."
The Young Turks' John Iadarola () and Ana Kasparian () are joined by Showdown of the Unbeatables host Brian Unger () and The Pretty Good Podcast host Gina Grad () to break down the story.
