Will Wednesday's 'Modern Family' be too modern? Show to feature transgender child

Variety.com reports that in the episode, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) allow daughter Lily (the hilarious Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) to have her transgender friend Tom over for a play-date.

Lily, however, proves not to be as open-minded as her parents had hoped.
