One of the specific ways he could chose between 'happiness' and his family is choosing between the man he loves and his family.

"After he's outed, a reluctant homosexual must choose between his homophobic but loving family or the man he loves."

All versions of the logline present a generic predicament that many gay men (and women) endure. But none of them present a specific course of action that this particular gay person takes as a result of the rejection and conflict. What does "led to decide" mean in terms of a specific objective goal the young man struggles for? For the purposes of drama, "happiness", while certainly desirable, is a subjective goal. It's an internal state of mind. But film is about what is external, the visceral that also has a visual component. What is the visual for "happiness" for this gay man? What's does it look like?
