Lions and Gays and Bears! Oh My!
Okay. Before reading my ramblings, scan this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/27/glee-born-this-way-lady-gaga-gay-conservative_n_854193.html
I totally agree that we should in fact be teaching our kids (your kids, not my kids, I'm 23 and gay, definitely don't have kids) to hate themselves, and fix what's wrong with them. *vomit*
Could these haters be anymore ridiculous? Unfortunately, the answer is most likely a definite probably.
So, 'publicans are upset that the "liberal media" has attacked their Tea Party goddesses in the form of a conservative's worst nightmare, Kathy Griffin. Get over it? Just because you can't parody a liberal as easily or well as we can doesn't mean you should get angry with us for being better, try improving yourself, isn't that like, one of the core values of your party anyway? And if you think it attacked the Tea Party in general, I'd say you couldn't be more mistaken. She played a mix between Palin and O'Donnell. I mean, are you really that upset that they put in a zinger about not being a witch? Why don't y'all just jump on the bandwagon and laugh a little at the ridiculousness that is Palin and O'Donnell, it's not like you're voting in the polls shows Palin anywhere near the top of the contenders for el Presidente.
Rant. Over.
At least that rant...
So, Mr. Dan Gainor thinks that this past episode was pushing a gay agenda. (As we all know, the gay agenda is to convert as many people as we can to our side for the purpose of... umm... well... I'm not sure. I haven't ascended to that level of Homotology.) To his credit though, it was pushing a gay-ish agenda: Acceptance, of other people and of yourself. So, kudos to you Mr. Gainor for reading between the lyrics of this episode.
Mr. Gainor: "It's a high school most parents would not want to send their kids to."
Absolutely. I would never send my kid to that high school. Who wants their kid to grow up in Ohio, the Mecca of homosexuals?! But seriously. Who wouldn't want their kid to go to a school promoting positive thinking and kindness towards others regardless of their differences? Where does self-hatred get anyone besides into a chair underneath a knife or even worse. I mean, what the hell are these people so upset about? That the show is teaching young kids who may feel different that neither bullying nor suicide is the answer? My god, if for some magical reason Christians were killing themselves because they were teased about being Christians, some would ask those bullies be put to death.
It's hard enough for young gays to come out to their family and friends, and it seems to be proving even more difficult for us to come out as a group.
What? You don't want your kid watching the show because he might learn that its okay that he's gay? Well guess what. Whether he watches this show or not, he's still going to be a big 'ol gay, and maybe JUST maybe if he gets a healthy attitude about himself, he won't end up in an unhealthy and unsafe lifestyle.
Phew! Okay. I'm getting some serious wrist problems from this frantic typing.
I'm going to say it: Quinn has one of the prettiest, most ethereal voices on the show, and I cannot get enough of her. Obviously Rachel has the most incredible voice (bar Mercedes), and the two of them together, along with it being one of the best TLC songs ever made for one of the best scenes of this show. My latest obsession for you all is Glee's mash-up (sort of, it barely has I Feel Pretty in it) I Feel Pretty/Unpretty.
