I hate to still be ranting about it, but it just clouds my whole perception of the show. It was like that cover was screaming "Hey, we're on Glee and we're straight. We are like really, really, really heterosexual." I imagined a bunch of tv executives having a meeting at fox, concerning some audience comments that the show was getting too gay. They can't cancel the show, because its making them way too much money, so they had to do something else...and that cover was a solution. <br /><br />On the other hand, I do appreciate episodes like last night, of which I did partially catch.

I also think it's great that they allow Kurt to experience the various ups and downs that are specific to a gay kid in high school. <br /><br />And while this particular storyline is wonderful and Glee is, of course, one of the gayest shows on t.v., I find it highly problematic with how they represent young women on this show, especially Santana and Brittany with regards to sexuality. The most recent episode is a good example: "We'd have a winning football team if everyone would just put out." The idea of sexuality as fluid is a good angle to take, especially with teenagers who are figuring "things" out; however, I believe the writers (*coughallmencough*) have taken it too far and write off female sexuality way too easily (either prudish or slutty). <br /><br />I truly hope that Glee gets their act together and devotes the same attention to the women on the show as they do the men.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098481257864624224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-4117462460255592222010-11-11T06:58:40.024-08:002010-11-11T06:58:40.024-08:00Have you heard Ryan Murphy's acceptance speech...Have you heard Ryan Murphy's acceptance speech at the PFLAG LA event?

On multiple levels. And him dancing with the kids is just gross. I cringe. I didn't want him to kiss Beastie - anyone would deserve more and I like her. I wouldn't want Shuester to be my first kiss. Yuck.<br /><br />Some people comment that the storyline of Brittana is off and on. Not really. Unfortunately this is the way a lot of gay/bi girls are like in high school. Santana's always claimed to like Puck but goes to Brittany when he's not around. Hopefully, when he leaves she can admit her feelings for Brittany. But Brittany and Artie? Ugh. <br /><br />My heart ached for Kurt when he was in the boys school - you could see how badly he wanted to go to school there.Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-85012485128205325362010-11-10T10:50:12.851-08:002010-11-10T10:50:12.851-08:00Well said, Ms. Snarker.

Yet, because it's still pretty cool otherwise, I still tune in every week.<br /><br />Last night's episode was a big reason why I still watch the show--once in a while it surprises me and reminds me that there is a message here, it's not just willy-nilly plot lines.<br /><br />On the topic of Brittana, I can't see them as being a legitimate couple because they are both written as "easy" and willing to have sex with anyone. I guess when no one is around they turn to one another. I wish it were a bit more than that--I would love to see some more progress--but so far it has been one step forward two steps back in their "relationship"Alicia Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273414186704743852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-86691787438658637602010-11-10T10:37:40.980-08:002010-11-10T10:37:40.980-08:00I honestly don't give a shit about Glee's ...I honestly don't give a shit about Glee's "lack of sophisticated narrative". Autostraddle was moaning about that too. Why should we worry about where all those fancy costumes come from when we get to see such fantastic, talented actors singing great songs and standing up for almost every 'type' of kid in (high) school. Would we like to see them sing and dance to tunes from an old ghettoblaster in their day-to-day clothes? I don't think so. It's television. It's just how it works.
