“The New Normal” is a refreshing comedy that highlights LGBTQ relationships in a favorable light. The brand new sitcom from the creators of “Glee” tackles the subject of a gay couple wanting to have a baby and opposition from the outside.

David (played by Justin Bartha from “The Hangover”) and his partner Bryan (Andrew Rannells from HBO “Girls”) are in a long-term committed relationship and decide that they want to take the logical next step, having a child.
