That one post was craaaazy. :-)

@J – Instead of using a colon, you should have used a semi-colon. How’s that for honesty? Ha.

Kurt actually matured a bit in the second season, and he isn’t quite as selfish and whiny as he once was.

But more importantly, the show introduced a few more gay characters: Blaine is quite a bit more “normal” and nearly entirely comfortable with his sexuality. Santana is a far cry from the stereotypical “butch” lesbian, and Dave Karofsky is a typical jock in every way. True, the latter two are still closeted, but that in itself provides an interesting glimpse into the life of gay teens who aren’t as obviously gay as Kurt is.

In combination, the four gay characters present a much broader view of homosexuality.

Also, I think that Chris Colfer as himself is a laudable role model–based on the two or three interviews I’ve seen, at least.

(Obviously I’m a fan of the show. But I also understand the reasons some people aren’t).

Or commenting, at least. That’s what happened with some recent posts of mine. You find out really quickly how many people actually read your blog, when you write candidly. :)
