Matt's parents are spending Thanksgiving in "gay central". On the one hand, it's incredibly ironic; on the other it shows how much, in their own strange way, they love Matt. I mean they can't be as clueless about Matt's sexuality as they're letting on. If they were really hardliners, would they even be there?
The Matt and Lou scenes were...uhm....gulp....nice.
Matt is so not ready for anything even approaching a committed relationship. Which is fine. A lot of gays Matt's age have their "hand in the cookie jar". In Matt's case, he fell right into the cookie jar.
