When I woke up today Everything was fine
Not a lot of my mind I've got a feeling it's gonna be a good one
When I woke up today Everything was fine
Not a lot of my mind I've got a feeling it's gonna be a good one
How you doing?
Thanks for blocking the driveway
You're welcome dad
Oh it's getting a little tight
Sorry
Mom, hey sweetie
So are you gonna be able to make it?
Yeah I should be able to
I'll skip classes on Thursday and Friday
Help
Okay good
So what's this hand party about?
Hey big princess
Morning dad
Hi Joan how's the team doing?
Good Mr. Kessler
I know why you're here little princess
You're looking to put the pinch on your old man for some dough
No daddy I'm good
I'm tapped out anyway
I was gonna tell him
Tell me what?
I will
Mr. Kessler
We're getting married
Wonderful news Joan congratulations
So Laura I guess you'll be needing a new roommate
Robin down at work
Her daughter's looking for a new place
Let me have her call you
Daddy that's really not necessary
I don't think you're getting the picture
We're getting married
A double wedding
Well that's called for a real celebration
Is it too early to open a bar with a bubbly?
We don't have any bubbly
Well who is he?
Do I know him?
Honey why didn't you tell me
Our little girl was serious about a fella
No Sam, sweetie
Joan and Laura are getting married
I know
Look at you
To each other
You almost had me there
That was a good one
Daddy please
Are you serious?
When did this happen?
It's not legal isn't it?
It will be Wednesday
And then we're gonna go get our marriage license
And then the wedding's on Saturday
Did you know?
How long have you known?
A number of years now
A number of years?
Who else knows?
I knew
Yeah me too
So the whole world knows except me
Who else is gay?
Are you gay?
Are you gay?
Don't tease your father like that
I know you're not gay
I've seen your browser history
What?
So now he knows?
What did that say?
I thought you could use this
Thanks
So what are you thinking?
Well, I think we should teach Magoo
Not to dig holes in the backyard
I mean
I know what you mean
God, when she was in high school there were always guys hanging around the backyard
No
And she dated Gary, I don't know what's his name for what, one two years?
Six months
Well what had to be longer than that
No, not quite six months
I thought they were gonna tie the knot
When I found out he was going to run around on my little Laura
I just wound up
So that makes sense now
Not much else does
They're getting married in a week
They were just good friends
Didn't you notice that special vibe between them?
I'm not tuned into the subtle nuances like you are
Wasn't that subtle?
So how do you feel?
Humiliated
You knew
Gracie knew
Andy knew
I, of course, am the last to know
What yanks my chains
You didn't trust me to understand
All of a sudden bam, a wedding, God!
And which father pays for a wedding like that?
Do you want me to get that?
Do you want me to get that?
No, don't get it
Let it ring
So what's your name?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Let it ring
It's probably just some vacuum cleaner
Telemarketer
Hey, I think my parents would like to meet you
Here's the number
So I talked to Joan's mother
And we're going to go over to their house after dinner on Thursday
Oh, Anne, I want you to go with the girls when they get their marriage license
I saw on TV where there's going to be protesters at the courthouse
Ever since she was a little girl
I've imagined walking her down the aisle
There's a handsome quarterback type waiting for her
She's in a beautiful white dress
How about a little sweet something something
No, something something tonight
I'm so tired
I've got a million and one things on my mind
Yeah, good night
Are you gay?
Are you gay?
Are you gay?
Are you gay?
Do you have a good weekend?
Fine
How's Tammy, the kids?
Well, they're good
I just found out that Laura is gay
I can't believe I'm saying this
Getting married to her boyfriend
Joan
Yeah, how do you know?
Well, the gay community isn't that big
You're a widow with grandchildren
Do you all belong to one big organization or something?
No, no, honey
So you're just finding out, huh?
Tammy knew of course
Yep
Are you okay with it?
I don't know
How did your dad take it when you told him?
I never told him
Were anyone else in my family for that matter?
I didn't realize it myself
I grew up a tomboy in a small farming community
Got married right after high school
Because that's what most of the girls did
All those years of confusion
Fighting my feelings
Laura and Joan are lucky
Be happy for them
I think I might be getting fired
What?
Yeah
Mrs. Phillips called me into her office right after I put in my request for time off
She had some really pointed questions as to why I needed it
I being a lesbian has never been brought up before
But I think they have a sneaking suspicion that their PE teacher might be gay
They mentioned birds like morality or being a positive role model for children
The school's Christian mission
We were afraid this was going to happen
Yeah
I think this was a bad idea
What are you talking about?
Us?
The idea of us getting married
Come on Joan, don't do this
We already talked about this
It's just so easy for you
Daddy's little princess
And that's Gracie
Everybody loves you
Your whole family is going to be there
Me?
I am a complete reject
An embarrassment
And now I probably don't even have a job
Look at me Joan
Look at me
You're going to find another job
And I'm not rejecting you
And my family is not rejecting you
Your family didn't try to change you
You just cannot let it go, can you?
I mean we're supposed to get our marriage license tomorrow
I love you
But you are just not happy unless you're miserable
Maybe we don't deserve to be happy
Then why do they call us gay?
You're just like that
I love you
Get your hands out of your ass
Good job
That's great
As you can see several protesters have already gathered outside the courthouse
Hi sir, what brings you here today?
Well, I just came out
What do you just came out?
That is very brave of you sir
You've been an inspiration to many people
Thank you
You're welcome
Daddy, come here
We've got to show you something
Please tell me it's not about that damn interview
It's about that damn interview
It's gone viral
Especially on all the sides where it's okay to come out of the closet
Daddy, you're the new poster boy for coming out
I'm going to be able to show my face in school again
Make sure it's not a reporter or something like that
Oh shit, daddy
Yeah, it's Mr. Hart
Sam, do you really want something now?
Hey Charlie, do you want to slice a pizza?
Some coffee, water or something?
No, thanks sweetie, I just want to stop by
It's good to see you
You too
You're never going to let me live this down are you?
That's true
You have to ask
I had no idea
Charlie
I'm not gay
I'm going to closet my whole life
What did you say?
You're not
On the TV it looked like you came out
I didn't
Are you going to?
No
I don't need to come out of anything
Trust me Charlie, he's not gay
You're gay
Yes Sam
It feels so good to finally say that about
I've known you since high school
You can't be gay
You train cops
Officers
Yeah, whatever
You play college ball
Mr Hart
Thanks Laura
You must be Joan
Hi, it's nice to meet you
Hi
Listen
Maybe it would be best if
We just kept this within the family
So
Are we cool?
Yeah, we're cool
Thanks Sammy
Oh hey, I gotta go
I'm going to go teach a weapons handling class
Have fun
Good night all
Thanks for stopping by
Well, that does not surprise me at all
Dad, are you going to see this?
Morning Samantha
What?
Welcome to the club
Not funny
Oh come on, you have all people should see the humor in this
After supper, Gracie showed me some of the online comments
Don't pay any attention to those
I thought the protesters were bad, but the venom in some of those comments
Like I said, welcome to the club
Now remember, Joan's parents' names are Deborah and Oliver
It's Deborah, not Debbie and Oliver, not Ollie
There's another fine mess you've got me into
Will you please behave yourself tonight?
I wanted to make a good impression
That was a good impression
Well, welcome to our home
Step right this way, we'll go through the kitchen
As we go through, notice the work work
That was so embarrassing
Don't worry, I've wanted to knock Oliver senseless many times
Thank you for bringing the bottle of wine, but neither Deborah nor I drink
And we don't allow drinking in the house, so we can't accept it
Sure, it's one of our favorites, so it certainly won't go to waste
I don't know how you two feel about this situation
But Deborah and I have very strong feelings about same-sex marriage
The whole homosexual agenda is just greatly disturbing
Both morally and socially speaking
I know how you feel, but I didn't know they had an agenda
No, they don't all belong to one big organization, you know
But a lot of things have disturbed me over the past few days
Do you all have any other children?
Yes, Amy, but she died as an infant
Sis
I'm so sorry, that's why it's so hard not having Joan in our lives any longer
She can be
Oliver, as you know, the father of the bride typically affix the bill for the wedding
And in this case, I'm not sure which one of us that is
So, I thought we just split it in half
Sound fair?
I'm sorry, but any financial burden for this will have to fall on you
We don't condone nor approve of the lifestyle that they've chosen, we won't be going to the ceremony
But I'm sure your Laura is a lovely girl
Remember, honey, we ran into him that one time at the mall
Don't you want to be a part of your own daughter's wedding?
I'd love to
Under different circumstances
I wish there could be other circumstances
The devil has gotten into that girl
A few years ago, we sent her off to a program that specializes in conversion therapy
Conversion therapy?
It's helped many confused people like Joan and Laura
Yes, she dated boys there for a while, but then she switched back
Wait, they can switch?
Oh, of course
I know of a couple of programs that have reported several success stories
Work on adults
Age is no barrier to righteousness
I think we should give it a go
Excuse me
Would the two of you help us?
Well, of course, what do you have in mind?
Why don't we all go through conversion therapy together first?
I don't think we understood you correctly
Well, yes, you did
Listen, the way I figure it, if it works one way, it's got to work the other
I think it's when the laws of physics
If we want them to change, why don't we show them and it can be done?
Sam, are you joking with us?
No, Oliver, I'm not joking with you
I'm mocking you
My little girl is not confused
I may be, but she's not
Listen, I'm no Einstein, but does gender matter?
Love is love
They have a special vibe between them
Don't they honey?
Yes, yes they do
And if you brought your daughter back into your lives, maybe you could see it for yourselves
It's pretty obvious
Well, on that note, I think we might have overstayed our welcome
Hope you change your mind and come to the wedding
I'll see you out
You know, I've never been more proud of you in my entire life
It pissed me off when he said Laura was confused
I have an idea
What's that?
What do you say?
We kill off that bottle of wine in that special secret corner in the park
There's a blanket in the car
Oh, the devil's gotten into you tonight
It's not going to be the only one
I'm sorry, I just didn't know where to turn
I miss my Joan
Deborah, take a deep breath
It sounds like you need to talk
Do you want me to come over?
Oh Tammy, yes please
I don't want to inconvenience you, but I would really appreciate it
I'll be right there
Thank you
I feel so silly, I'm not at all
Yes, Oliver
No, no, no, no, no, no, nothing like that
No, no, he's just so controlling
I feel I've forgotten who I am
What did the note say?
She desperately wants us to come to the wedding
He won't let you
He sees Joan's lifestyle as punishment from God
Like when Amy died
When the therapy didn't work
Her pastor told us to cut her out of our lives
Like a cancer
That's crazy
I don't care if she's gay
I want to go
But telling Oliver
Deborah, you asked me here to help
I think I can
Oh, if you need to use a restroom
It's down the hall to the right
It's not what this is for
I think this could help with your anxiety
I don't know
I've tried it a few times in high school
But what if Oliver finds out?
What about the smell?
He's going to be home at 5.30
Like some cookies or something
Don't you have some candles?
And we can spray the entire house with air freshener
Oliver will never smell a thing
You know what if he does?
I'm going to burn a casserole or something
You would buy that story
Where are the candles?
Your father does what he does
It's so hard
Are you here to mock me again?
Sorry
I need to talk to you
Well?
Oliver, whether we like her or not
We're going to be in-laws
It might as well make the best of it
Why?
For our daughters
Right now your little girl is crying her eyes out
Because her father has rejected her
And refuses to go to her wedding
Did Deborah send you over here?
No
Look, my position has not changed
In the Bible it says
Do you believe in a loving and forgiving God?
Yes, of course
What are you getting at?
Does God love Joan?
Yes
Do you love your daughter?
Of course
Would God forgive you for going to her gay wedding?
I'm talking to your father to a father here
It's not about us or what we believe or don't believe
Did Deborah tell the girls?
Having a relationship with your daughter
Does not equate to condoning the homosexual agenda
She's just your little girl all grown up
And she needs you
Think back when you could sweep Joan up in your arms
And she would kiss you and hug you with all her little might
Remember the awesome feeling of love
And responsibility that just engulfed you
Do you?
Would it have moved mountains for her?
Well, the moving of the mountains starts in less than an hour
I now pronounce
Laura and Joan married
Hi
I'm Sam Kessler, proud father of the bride
Hi, I'm Kimmy
I live right across the way from Laura and Joan
Isn't she beautiful tonight?
Yes, thank you
Let me ask you something
Are all the girls here, you know?
No, I like boys
Would you do me a favor?
Would you go over and talk to my son Andy
He was hoping to meet some girls here
That's him, right over there
Really?
I'll see what I can do
Thank you
You're welcome
Why is Andy looking to me like that?
Maybe because you sent a drag queen over to flirt with him
So, when's the baby due?
January 28th
All right
That's wonderful
Yes
Thank you
