Did you read the article?
It explains that their daughter's experience more or less opened their eyes to the treatment as a whole. (As in not just their family) It may be spun that way, but for two (likely groomed) 70's+ republicans in a primarily red state, to have any diverging beliefs from their party is a good thing. It shows that the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, while admittedly slow (and shouldn't be necessary), is showing progress, even if it's small.
As another user mentioned, they could have just disowned their granddaughter, like a lot of bigots do. I've seen it happen and know a few people that it happened to. It's not a good feeling being alone in the world because your family doesn't agree with your identity.
I say that while the fight is still going on, we can at least enjoy this, albeit tiny, victory.
