Frank Breaks Down at the Graveside, Explained：say it to my face
A funeral turns into Frank's worst night, and the family he refuses to see becomes the argument he can't avoid. On the surface it's grief; underneath it's a reckoning about living openly, and about a promise, ending with the only comfort on offer: "I'm your family, and you're mine."
あらすじ
At the graveside, Frank breaks down and says he has no family. Beth answers that she is his family, and that they are each other's, for life. Later she pushes back on his refusal to go home, reminding him of the advice he once gave her, and he finally agrees to bring Wally to meet them.

What's really going on
The scene is about the cost of Frank's secrecy. His collapse, "I have no family," is the opposite of Beth's answer, "You have me," and it exposes how fully his relatives' rejection has defined him. Against that, Beth's argument is not sentimental but logical: he told her to be who she wanted to be, so why doesn't that apply to him? The line she throws back, that he can't be himself unless nobody disagrees, is the film's central charge against hiding. Frank's eventual yes is small and rough, an invitation to meet "my fucking family," but it is the first time he chooses to be seen.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Frank say he has no family?
His family rejected him for being gay, and at the graveside the loss is still raw. Calling himself familyless is both grief for his father and anger at the relatives who shut him out.
Why is Frank angry about the promise to bring him back?
The request asks Wally to walk into a hostile family. Frank's first reaction is refusal, because going home means exposing the man he loves to the people who hurt him.
What does Beth throw back at Frank?
She repeats his own advice, that he should be what he wants to be, not what others want. She says the conversation changed her life, so his current caution feels like a contradiction.
What does Frank finally agree to do?
He agrees to go to his family and invites Wally along, asking, "You want to go meet my fucking family?" The yes he gets is the thaw after a very cold scene.
