A Wedding Like That (2015) Online
The whole family knows that Sam Kessler's daughter Laura is gay except Sam. When same sex marriage is allowed, they tell him a week before her wedding. While trying to come to terms with this revelation, Sam learns there are more gay people in his life than he ever realized. When stopped by a TV news reporter while trying to protect Joan and Laura from a mob of same-sex marriage protesters, Sam drops a bombshell on live TV. Facing ridicule at work and other places, he learns first hand the type of stinging abuse his daughter and others gay people have faced. Joan's parents, who are deeply religious, have cut her out of their lives years ago. Desperately wanting to reunite with them, Joan conveniences Tami to call Debra, Joan's mother, and arrange for both sets of parents to meet. The get-together at the Dixon's house goes awry and Sam winds up mocking Oliver. The Kessler's abruptly leave and on their way out the door, Debra surreptitiously asks Tami to call her. They meet the next day...
