How to tell if your son is gay. "Remember when you caught you with a Playboy? You were reading the articles!" It's a coming out workshop gone crazy! Three men and three women gather to share their stories and bare their souls. You'll meet Tyler, who enjoys coming out so much, he does it again, again, and again. And Joey, who finds that most folks are too wrapped up in their own lives to worry about his sexuality. Then, take a trip with Claire to the "Lesbian Owned Coffee House," where she gets a hilarious crash course in 'how to be a lesbian', but can't for the life of her land a cup of coffee. Come home with Cheyenne, the frustrated songstress coming out to her... lesbian parents!
