Coming Out Straight

Treatment

Sam Manning and Erin Walters live in a country where babies are bred in backpacks, unicorns roam the range, and being straight is not only illegal but considered the greatest of sin. And like most human beings, they’ve been seeking out love with no success.

So, by the aggressive insistence of friends and family, they join a dating app that features no photos and a glowing endorsement from The First – the nation’s commander, chief and religious leader. The app and all its arithmetic algorithms get to work. And through a possible binary bungle, sends Sam a man and Erin a woman on a blind date. And through some cosmic irony, they have a great time. So great a time that they decide to embark on a relationship that must be kept secret at all costs or be publicly executed in the Stadium of Righteousness.
