Last week I watched a riveting Lifetime movie called The Truth About Jane. It starred Stockyard Channing as the world's best mother - until her teenaged daughter announces she's gay, at which point Mom loses her shit. No doubt she was drawing on years of watching her crazy Aunt Carol.
Their lovely home a-crackle with tension, young Jane turns to the only other gays she knows: her mother's friend Jimmy, played with sassy sensitivity by RuPaul, and her English teacher, who looks like Josie Bissett but isn't. At least they didn't make her a field hockey coach.
Mom begins to relent after a few PFLAG meetings, and you know she's onboard at the end of the movie when she shows up at a gay pride rally. Good times.
