CMI On TV – ‘Glee’: The World’s Gayest High School
Pity William McKinley. Our 25th president
was a Civil War hero who successfully prosecuted the Spanish-American War and
presided over a booming economy. For his trouble, he was assassinated. Adding
insult to injury, he’s the namesake of The World’s Gayest High School.
It’s no secret that “Glee” frequently and flamboyantly pushes a gay agenda. So many characters play for the other team it's hard to believe that there’ll be any future generations of McKinley High students to mock the Bible and cheer on transgendered performers. But as this season prepares to wrap up this week, things are heating up on "Glee." Last week’s episode featured a particularly large dose of gay.
First, Kurt, an alumnus of Glee, and Blaine more-than-subtly flirt at a coffee shop:
Then, we get an extra dose of two gay guys intimidating Rachel before her big audition.
And finally, in the most overt display of all, Blaine asks Kurt’s father for his son’s hand in marriage. His father is all in favor of the institution, those who support gay marriage are on the right side of history, he says. However, he says no because, like most parents these days, he believes high school is a bit too young for someone to be proposing. If anything, his refusal builds the legitimacy of gay marriage even more because he emphasizes the seriousness and permanence of marriage.
