Anna has been invited with a plus-one to her cousin's traditional Polish wedding in a Toronto suburb. Anna isn't dating any man at the time, so she wants to RSVP with her best friend, Judy, as Judy has never been to a Polish wedding. Anna's mother is aghast at the idea, explaining that everyone would assume that Anna and Judy are lesbian perverts and it would be a great shame and disgrace for Anna's mother to be suspected of having brought up a homosexual under her Catholic roof. She orders Anna to bring a male date or not to come at all. What attitude does Anna's mother display?
