In 2011, Entertainment Weekly featured Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson on its cover with the headline “Gay Teens On TV.” Just think about that for a second; in 2011, putting LGBT adolescents on television was so groundbreaking that it warranted an EW cover. The progress we’ve made since then is astounding, and we must credit Glee for blazing the trail in such a public way. Watching Kurt come to terms with his sexuality in the small town of Lima, Ohio not only helped many people like him — this writer included — it led to other complex gay characters on Glee and beyond.

‘Glee’ May Suck Now, But It Changed the Goddamn World (VH1.com)

This time that we had I will hold f o r e v e r.

THANK YOU, GLEE.

We grew up together in the glee club, it’s a part of all of us.

One day, all of you are going to be gone. And all of this, all of us, will be nothing but a hazy memory. It will take you a second to remember everyone’s name. Someone will have to remind you of all the songs we sung, the solos you got, or didn’t get. Life really only has one beginning and one end. The rest is just a whole lot of middle.

Matt’s Inside Line: Scoop on Glee

fyeahgleeclub:

Glee is ending on Friday, and I’m feeling sad yet relieved at the same time. I would like the mother of all scoops, and some assurance that this finale won’t be as bad as How I Met Your Mother, or True Blood, or Dexter. Pretty please? —Samantha
If the buzz trickling out of McKinley is to be believed, the Glee finale will be viewed as a (mostly) satisfying conclusion to the show’s six-year run. The final shot, in particular, sounds pretty damn near perfect, IMHO. On the scoop front, the five-year time jump that comprises much of the final act will allegedly find one character pregnant, but there’s a twist. Also, Rachel will have bid adieu to single life, but the identity of the man on her arm may surprise you. (Or it may not.)
