There are always people on the fence. I’ve been there. It was good gay people that convinced me to get off of it. I could easily have been persuaded the other way by someone like Kurt–and I know people like him.

God help us all if BigT ever watches _Silence of the Lambs_. “So it’s quite alright for gay guys to kill and skin fat girls, but a lesbian actress has to stay closeted if she wants to win Academy Awards!”

I’m more concerned about what’s going to happen when people realize that _Glee_ is full of interracial and interfaith pairings. Tina/Artie, Rachel/Finn, Quinn/Puck, Mercedes/Puck, Santana/Puck, Santana/Finn, Santana/Britney, Emma/Ken, Rachel’s dads, maybe Tina’s parents (the last name Cohen-Chang suggests a mixed marriage)…it’s miscegenation propaganda gone mad! :rolleyes:

Off topic, but I didn’t realize Tina’s name was Cohen-Chang. I wonder if she and Mike (who’s never been at all developed) are supposed to be related. (True, Chang isn’t that uncommon a surname in China or even in America [[number 426](http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/data/2000surnames/index.html) to be precise] but I wouldn’t imagine it’s that common in Lima, Ohio.)

Not propaganda, _agenda_. The show is obviously trying to make people think that miscegenation is ok.
