Glee is So Gay! How?


Are you a Glee fan like I am? I swear this has to be the gayest show on TV since Will & Grace. It stars the amazing out lesbian actor Jane Lynch. It's about singing and Broadway musicals. (Gay!) And one of it's primary characters, Kurt is showing what it is really like to be an out gay teenager in high school. Queer As Folk DVD
He gets harassed by the other kids. Queer As Folk DVD He has a crush on the straight hunky football player. His Dad struggles in a real way to accept him.
I have to say, I was kind of blown away by last night's show. Kurt's dad came in his friend/crush Finn calling Kurt's room decorations "faggy."Queer As Folk DVD
Dad: "What did you just call him?"Finn: "I didn't call him anything, I was talking to the blanket."Dad: "You use that word and you're talking about him." (Points to Kurt.)Queer As Folk DVD setWhen Kurt says he didn't take it that way, Dad says, "That's because you're 16 and and you still assume the best in people."
Dad continues to Finn, "I know what you meant. You think I didn't use that word when I was your age? Some kid gets clocked in practice, we tell him to stop being such a fag and shake it off. We meant it exactly the way you meant it. That being gay Queer As Folk DVD set is wrong and that it's some kind of punishable offense."
He then tells Finn to leave his house. Queer As Folk DVD boxsetHe totally stands up for his son. It was a beautiful, profound moment. On Fox TV. Although the show is over the top and really funny in many ways, I think they got this exactly right. Did you see it? What did you think?
