Sometimes you have to stoop to their level.

This girl's cutting putdown to her homophobic aunt is delighting the internet

We know you're not supposed to air your family's dirty laundry in public but when you deliver a putdown this good, you have to share it.

After her aunt called her a homophobic slur during an argument, teenager Charlie took to Twittter to vent.

Her aunt then attempted to patch things up by text but really only made it worse, saying "you gay people have a lot of drama".

Yeah….

So Charlie let loose, with a response that has now gone viral thanks for its no-holds barred truth.

Ok so she didn't take the high road but that must have been satisfying.

And it didn't take long for the family fallout to begin.

But the internet is behind her. All the way.
