In this episode, I'm joined by my fellow friends and writers, this is a deep dive into the 2015 film, Jenny's Wedding, a coming out film that focuses on the parent POV. 

With a Rotten Tomatoes score of 25%, it didn't get a lot of love from audiences or critics, but it's one that just might deserve a second chance.

This episode is for writers and film fans who love to talk about writing and film.

This episode is with a mom who has always been supportive of whoever her children were and whoever they wanted to love. For her, it was simply a different, but equally beautiful journey. 

In spite of the open door, the conversation was still slow to evolve.

In the first episode of They Can't All be Betty, I chat with my biggest LGBTQ ally -- my sister, Lori.

In this conversation, we'll talk about what it's like for me to be out to our family and how, gay or straight, our views about PDA -- especially around our parents -- isn't about sexual orientation, but rather about how we were raised.

side note: this episode title (They Can't All be Betty) is before the podcast name change. The podcast used to be "They Can't All be Betty." In this episode, I explain who Betty is and what it means to "be a Betty."

The name was Inspired by Betty DeGeneres, a "Betty" is the ideal parent/person in the coming out journey. Someone who, in spite of fear, shows up with unconditional love. 

Unconditional love doesn't mean you still don't have questions, concerns, or fears. It just means we have to help each other through that conversation.
