In "Mr. Roberts", written by Terrence McNally, a teacher (Steven Weber) in a 1970's classroom struggles with his closeted gay status. Finally in "Amos and Andy", a father (Edward Asner) wrestles with his own emotional acceptance of a present day wedding between his son (James Le Gros) and another man.
