hat there’s someone who’s bi or someone who’s transgender, etc. but in any case…they’ve created quite the reputation for screaming down others about what’s “important” for the community
Let’s not forget the absolute joke that was the Glee Equality Project, which prided itself on celebrating the various LGBTQA characters from the show, but refused to acknowledge characters such as Dave Karofsky or Sebastian Smythe or Unique Adams.
Instead, the primary focus was on Brittana and Klaine. And I say that purposefully, because Santana Lopez as a person herself wasn’t of much interest. Brittany Pierce was categorized as a lesbian instead of bisexual and Kurt Hummel wasn’t allowed to exist outside of being Blaine Anderson’s boyfriend
The movement mostly hinged on, I kid you fucking not, kisses. And sex. And how much of it we got to see in the shows
Because at the end of the day, folks, that’s what’s most important
It’s not as if gay and lesbian programming has been overwrought as it is with sexual material so that it’s pleasing or appealing to fetishists, we need more of it and we need it now!!
Imagine, if you will, a Klainer throwing open their window and screaming, “It’s my gay erotica and I need it now!!!”
Never mind the fact that in all actuality, perhaps what the LGBTQA community needs most of are healthy portrayals of LGBTQA individuals, oh no. We need klisses. And klex. And lots of it! And if it’s not set to a song from our approved list of OTP jams then it’s simply unacceptable and we need another!!! We also need a goose that produces golden eggs!!! (“How many klisses are there?” “36, sweetums.” “36?!?! But last year I had 37!!!!”)
And that’s how a lot of this has been swept under the radar. Because even if you want to defend Ryan Murphy and say, “Look guys, he’s not actually Satan, okay?” you still have to admit he’s encouraged them in this respect. He’s still patted them on the back for supposedly doing so much for the community when really, all they’ve done is throw mommy and daddy’s money at some charities so they can see straight actor Darren Criss bust out some funky tunes while gay actor Chris Colfer gets shifted to the back.
