Arrgh! My whole family threw up simultaneously when they rolled out the gay nonsense. A zombie shark has been spotted swimming near the ski-jump.

There’s a TV show called Glee?

I hate tvtropes.com. I can go there and suddenly it is three hours later. :-)

(I'd bet that you've probably already read this page. Look at the illustrative cartoon!)

I've never watched Glee, but this author may be thinking of Seasonal Rot.

Glee was his nickname.

As soon as a show inserts a gay character, we put it on probation.

Should that show go on to graphically depict a physical relationship between two people of the same sex, we stop watching.

The Walking Dead recently added two gay characters and had them kissing in the same show. Worse, in the “Talking Dead” after show, the actor that plays Rick (the leader) went on to wax eloquent about how touching and loving that scene was. That did it for me.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

On top of that, Natural Science from RUSH Permanent Waves is a fan favorite.

I just find something odd about a show that features 30year old actors playing high school students and showing no progress after 5 years.

The more I ponder the question, I believe that one homo is a gay . . . a pack of them is a glee.

The problem with Hollywood—Movies and TV—Propaganda worse than Stalin’s Musicals in Soviet Union-—Hollywood stopped being about giving people what they want but preaching a “Message” —Clint Eastwood (God Bless Him) never gave in to this. Hollywood (and TV) must get back to making things people will buy! No one want to eat the Communist bitter Veggie sandwich to eat—They will go for the Conservative steak and barbeeque Port. Wake up America before our Enemies rip down the Libeeral Progressive Fantasyland.

“ignorant, backwards, lily-white, gay-hating Obama bashing clubbers,”

Obviously they'd rather insult whites, Christians, anti-Obama people, etc. than have good ratings and a successful, popular show. They made their decision. Buh-bye.

Glee is like the Oscars and other award shows.

Oh yeah, now it’s clicking. Just a little slow today I guess.

I never heard about that until the “Beyond the Lighted Stage” documentary.

Thanks for the clarification.
