The "Let's Get the Gay Stuff Over With" episode of "I'm Sorry"

I'm Sorry (2017-) stars comedian Andrea Savage as a comedy writer named Andrea, who, like most comedians gets ideas from her quirky family and friends: her partner Mike (Tom Everett Scott, who used to be cute), her clueless mother Sharon (Kathy Baker), her socially awkward brother David (Nelson Franklin). 

Most of Andrea and Mike's social life appears to revolve around the preschool group that their daughter Amelia is in.  For instance, in Episode 2, Amelia's stray remark about another girl makes Andrea believe that she is racist. 

Apparently sets of parents date each other, have relationships, get upset over "cheating," and break up, just like romantic couples. In Episode 8, Andrea and Mike court another couple of parents, only to find things getting "weird" during the playdate.

In the episode I watched, "Too Slow," Andrea and Mike court the only lesbian parents in the play group, hoping that they will help Amelia realize that there are different kinds of parents.

 On the playdate, the two turn out to be assholes, letting their son run wild and screaming at a hapless play park employee (Ben Cho, the only cute guy in the episode). 

Andrea and Mike decide to break up with them, but don't want to come across as homophobic.  Fellow parent Brian (Gary Anthony Williams) states that he knew they were assholes, but wasn't going to "talk trash about the only lesbian parents in the play group."

Meanwhile (might as well get all of the gay stuff out of the way in one episode), Andrea suspects that her brother David is gay because he's over 30, never had a girlfriend, and constantly talks about how much fun he has with his roommate. 

Wait -- what is this, 1985?  No gay guy introduces his boyfriend as his "roommate" anymore. 

Andrea tells her mother about the lesbian parents at play group and David being gay, all in the same conversation.  Mom is perplexed -- how did everyone suddenly become gay?  there weren't any gays when she was a girl.  And how do lesbians have a child? She is also worried about David facing a "hard life" of homophobic bakeries and...well, that's all she's heard about.

When Andrea encourages David to come out, he states that he's not gay, and in alarm asks her for the names of everyone she's told.  Homebound, socially awkward software engineers have to be careful about their reputations, right, David? 

 "How do you know you're straight?"  Andrea asks, implying that he really should give man-on-man sex a try before making a firm decision to be heterosexual.  She's been down in vagina country a few times, but didn't find anything there appealing enough to make it a habit.

Mom is relieved to discover that David is, in fact, straight.  But she feels guilty for being relieved.

Thus we have a glimpse into the contradictory life of the modern heterosexual, who isn't quite sure what being gay is all about, but thinks that she should be sure, who feels guilty about the homophobic thoughts that pop into her mind and keeps telling herself "There's nothing wrong with it."  Until the episode is over, and she never has to see or talk about gay people again.
