Lesbian Lips

Transplanted Southerner, Alex Houston, has found life as a successful wine importer in Manhattan to be a pretty fabulous life. Laughs come in spades from her best gay pal since childhood, Jonathan and love is found in the package of Dana, a dreamy bi-racial airline pilot. When he unexpectedly proposes to her the day shes to leave town for her sisters wedding, life gets complicated. Having assumed her southern family would never accept her ethnic boyfriend, shes never told them he exists. In turn, shes led Dana to believe her entire family is dead. Now, dont judge her too harshly, it was sort of a mix up that turned into genocide. Making an excuse to leave town, she takes Jonathan as her date to the wedding and figures once she gets through the weekend, shell come clean to everyone.

Once back in South Carolina, its a minefield of emotion as she deals with her distant father, her overly exuberant sister Jeannie and all the relatives and friends of her past who cant believe shes still single. Especially curious is Alexs dim high school sweetheart who misunderstands a conversation with Jonathan and starts spreading a rumor at the reception that shes gay. When an inebriated Alex gives a thinly veiled speech about her interracial relationship at the wedding, everyone mistakenly thinks its a big coming out speech. After unsuccessfully trying to set everyone straight so to speak, her right wing family has a decidedly left wing response and the lie actually brings them all closer.

As the two sisters build a relationship theyve never been able to cultivate before, Alex cant bring herself to fess up shes straight. When Jeannie comes back from her honeymoon and wants to come to New York and meet Alexs lesbian love Dana, Jonathan comes up with an idea to hire a girlfriend. Thats when things really start to get complicated.
