Media Apathetic About Glee’s Gay Kiss

The November 9 episode of Glee titled “Never Been Kissed” was quite the show stopper – unless you’re the media. The unexpected homosexual kiss between male high school students was nothing short of jaw-dropping, and yet the liberal media were “ho hum” on the controversy. Glee’s stereotypical jock character Karofsky, who has been bullying the openly gay character Kurt all season, in a moment…

The New York Times Cozies Up to Playful Communists in Manhattan
