10 Actual News Headlines That Prove How Dangerous, Outrageous & Out Of Control 'Gender Reveals' Have Become

If you've ever had a baby or known someone who has, you may have participated in a 'gender reveal.' Typically, this entails cutting into a cake filled with pink or blue icing, popping a balloon filled with pink or blue glitter, or shooting a pink or blue confetti cannon in the backyard.
