From its inception, popular TV musical comedy Glee [1] has waged a relentless campaign of liberal propaganda [2] and pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable on broadcast TV. The show is now stepping up its campaign of homosexual promotion [3]. The latest episode of Glee (airing on Nov. 8) titled 'The First Time,' [4] will feature a gay couple [5] having sex on TV.
Tim Stack of Entertainment Weekly calls [6] the episode a 'game-changer,' declaring 'I can't think of another network series that's taken a teenage gay relationship so far or been so progressive.' And indeed, the show has consistently advocated a progressive [7] tilt on homosexuality, portraying the behavior as completely normal and uncontroversial.
Glee is notorious for its obsessive promotion of racy and controversial sexual behavior. A previous episode of Glee featured two lesbian cheerleaders kissing [8] in bed and discussing 'scissoring.' Another episode of Glee also featured a gay kiss [3] among males. A Nov 2010 GQ issue featured Glee cast members [9] posed in various states [10] of undress. 'The First Time' will merely be the latest in a long line of Glee episodes pushing the sexual envelope.
Glee creator Ryan Murphy (who is also the creator of the aptly named [11] American Horror Story) is outspoken in his desire to push the envelope regarding sexual matters. In an interview with Bravo's 'Sex in the Box,' Murphy declared [12]: 'It's tough to get that sexual point of view across on television. Hopefully I have made it possible for somebody on broadcast television to do a rear-entry scene in three years. Maybe that will be my legacy.'
With this latest episode of Glee, Murphy is well on his way towards achieving that goal of hyper-sexualizing television.
