Adam, a 26 year old minister, has gone to church every Sunday evening for as long as he can remember. His Protestant parents have pressured him to join the church ever since he was old enough to understand the concept of religion. What they don't know is that he's gay, and has never breathed a word of it to a living soul. He has no plan for coming out, and doesn't see himself doing that anytime soon. Juggling possibly losing his job, and his relationship with his parents, or finally lifting the weight of being closeted off of his shoulders, he knows he has to make a decision eventually.

Everything
"This relationship has everything..." Stefon is finally coming out to his family, officially this time. He has sat down every important person in his life to give them the news. His brother and cousin pretty much have it all figured out, but his parents and his aunt and uncle are firm on their belief that he's just been going through a phase. As he tries to get through his anxiety to get them to meet his boyfriend, things start going south. Never has he been shy about his sexuality, but how is he supposed to convince his family it isn't a phase if he can't even get them to talk to him properly? The characters in this story are based loosely on Bobby Moynihan's theory about the Weekend Update family, as well as throwing other things around that make sense revolving that. The family Stefon lives with: Drunk Uncle - Stefon's Uncle (Going by Uncle Bobby since he was never given a name) Aunt Linda - Stefon's Aunt The Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started A Conversation With At A Party - Stefon's Cousin (Going by Cecily since she wasn't given a name either) Bar Mitzvah boy Jacob - Neighbor These are the characters *based on* Bobby's theory. Now for the others, named by Stefon himself: David Zolefsky - Stefon's Brother Ms. Stefon - Stefon's Mother David Bowie - Stefon's Father Based on the information Stefon gives us, he also has a son (he is presumably an absent father) and a dog, Bark Ruffalo. And Shy as a last second decision because who needs dramaless storiesComplete
