Michael, a young homosexual, has decided to reveal his homosexuality to his family. To prepare himself, he participates in a gay and lesbian support group that discusses how to deal with the negative responses that often result and the difficulty of gaining acceptance, even from people to whom one has always been close. He then attends a counselling session with his parents, his brother and sister, during which he hopes to be able to discuss their inability to accept him.
