In Mike We Trust

Garth lies to his mother and friends; he participates in his uncle's money-making scams even though he knows they are dishonest. Mike says he gambles for a living; he involves Garth in several illegal scams asking people to donate to bogus charities. When Garth comes out to his mother, she asks him to "put the topic on hold" until he's older and more capable of dealing with it. After he calls a support line, his mother angrily tells him that "if you respect me, you'll stick to your promise" not to tell anyone. His uncle is more supportive and takes him to a gay bookstore. Garth and Lisa volunteer every week at a dog shelter. Lisa breaks up with a guy because he called her gay friends names. Adam's father is uncomfortable with his son's sexuality.
