GAY COUPLE STORYLINE: The episode of "Mother" featured a very funny James (Wayne Brady) as the gay brother of Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), the womanizer and the series focuses on Barney's unwillingness to accept that his brother is in a relationship. Barney remains in denial, insisting his brother is still a swinging bachelor, despite countless relationship cues. James is in a relationship with Tom (Jai Rodriguez) and they even have a child together.
