Product Description:

An overbearing mother (Nia Vardalos) decides that college would be more affordable if her son Lloyd (Jason Dolley) were to win an LGBT scholarship, so she outs him to his entire high school. However, Lloyd has yet to out himself, and still wonders if he is actually gay or straight.
