Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay!
Breaking Glass PicturesA Long Island couple struggles to come to terms with the fact that their son is gay after he comes out of the closet at his cousin's wedding. When every attempt to understand their son's lifestyle ends in failure, Nelson's (John Lloyd Young) parents decide to have dinner with the boyfriend's parents, and discover the power of compassion. Trying their best to keep Nelson's sexuality a well-guarded secret, Shirley (Lainie Kazan) and Martin (Saul Rubinek) realize that all bets are off when their son and his partner attempt to adopt a child, blowing the lid off the closet door!
