David Gold (played by Brendan Fraser) is at his sisters and her husband's anniversary. With loving parents, a handsome son, and a daughter married to a doctor, the Golds make a picture-perfect family.

Suprise! Suzanne (David's sister played by Jennifer Beals) is pregnant. Her husband Rob Stein (played by Jon Tenney) is a genetic scientist. They have their child tested and they discover that the fetus will most likely be born gay, like David. This turns the blessed event into a trial of values and ideals that challenges the family and a marriage.

The question raised is whether David's parents would have had him aborted if they'd know he would be gay. The family enters a crisis about love and acceptance.

Now each of the Golds must confront the past while struggling to make difficult choices about the future. Their decisions will be shaped by circumstances no one could have foreseen, and have consequences none imagined.

The jumping-off point in this movie is the fictional scientific discovery that homosexuality would be genetic - and that the gene could be detected in prenatal testing.

That raises the big point whether or not homosexuality should be eliminated out of society by way of abortion.

This movie is about the worth of the life of a human being. Gay or otherwise.

A good movie. Brendan Fraser is very believable in his role and so are the other castmembers.

David: Every human being is a tapestry. If you pull one thread for one undesirable color then the whole fucking thing falls apart and you wind up staring at the walls.

Dad: I think you're sick and diseased and if there were a cure I would want you cured!
