...Georges' son Jean-Michel (J. Matthew Riopelle), whom he and Albin raised together, returns home to announce his engagement to Anne Dindon, the daughter of a right-wing politician. Having invited Anne's conservative parents to meet his, Jean-Michel asks the effeminate Albin to hide himself while his biological mother and father put on a show to fool the Dindons. Albin's huffing and puffing, Jean-Michel's desire to gain the approval of Anne's parents, and Georges' attempt to mediate produce a series of hilarious, made-for-TV situations of mishap and complication.

Instead Cedras has broken agreements and employed every kind of delay while subordinates terrorize the population. Those who can have fled the capital, hoping the countryside is safer. Like...
...more amusing posters displayed by the BGLSA in reaction to recent criticism of homosexuality by Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Manfield '53 was the outraged allegation that "Harvey Mansfield thinks FOUCAULT undermines civilization." With all due respect to this uncannily popular French intellectuel, please: what on earth is Michel Foucault trying to do if not to undermine civilization...
