The story so far
Everything you need before watchingTwo Kevins stranded in Gander still do not know how much is safe to say. Heat drives them into a bar, where drinks and small talk with Matty and Brenda loosen one confession: they have been together almost five years. The bar goes silent. He is about to pass out — then Matty thanks God, because his daughter is gay. Later the mayor wants backyard grills, and every yard offers tea first.
