For some reason there are millions of viewers taken in by the Glee craze. This television show has been running since May 2009. Like a lot of television shows Glee is a drama with a twist. And that twist is, of course, the characters singing their way through emotional problems. Likely inspired by High School Musical this show has made singing cool again for many of its young viewers.
Despite this joyful exterior there hides a vicious, liberal face. While Glee creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Fulchuk and Ian Brennan don't go out of their way to conceal their agenda it is not challenged as much as it should. Yet, it is time we took a stand against this show, tailored towards teens, because of their newest episode (November 9th) entitled "The First Time". This episode concentrates on two couples losing their virginity for "the first time". Couple no. 1 is the shows leads Finn and Rachel and couple no. 2 is homosexual Glee member Kurt and his boyfriend Blaine. It is extremely unfortunate that so many shows promote this pro-sexual promiscuity like the sexual behaviour by Finn and Rachel. Yet, this is dwarfed by the depiction of sexuality between Kurt and Blaine.
Â
Perhaps, it is no wonder that this has occurred. Series creator Ryan Murphy is openly homosexual, which would surely influence greatly upon Glee's very liberal standing. He is not the only one. Actor Chris Colfer, who portrays Kurt, also professes to be a homosexual in real life. Jane Lynch, an actress on the show, is a lesbian. Darren Criss, Kurt's boyfriend Blaine, is a keen advocate for the LGBT community as demonstrated by his support of the Trevor Project, an initiative to help homosexuals in crisis affirm their lifestyles. With this sort of detrimental influence it's no wonder that the themes that permeate through-out this show.
Â
The most perturbing element of this whole debacle is that this episode will air at 7:30 on Channel 10. There should be family-friendly television entertainment on at this time. While American television watchdog group Parents Television Council do not go far enough I wish to echo their sentiments:
Â
"Teen sex is now more prevalent on TV than adult sex and 'Glee' is only playing into that trend. Research proves that television is a teen sexual super peer that can, and likely will, influence a teen's decision to become sexually active. Fox knows the show inherently attracts kids; celebrating teen sex constitutes gross recklessness."
Yet this is the mainstream media today. Almost wholly corrupted by liberalism. Says Ryan Murphy about this episode:
Â
"We were talking about it [in the writers' room] like, 'Why shouldn't [Kurt and Blaine] lose their virginity at the same time?' Everybody has seen a straight couple losing their virginity, but has anyone dovetailed the gay and straight stories together and given them equal weight? That seemed like an exciting choice and a new thing."
It is disturbing how skewed our media is. There are next to no shows that display a conservative approach yet a significant amount of influential shows are spawned from "progressiveness" in an attempt to give relationships equal weight. Lea Mitchell, the actress who portrays Rachel, said "I wouldn't have done [the sex scene] if I didn't feel like they were doing it in the right way". Unfortunately, this scene was missing the key element that could have made it right, marriage. Not that this needs to be seen on free-to-air television either. No doubt Glee is advocating that dating or homosexuality is no different than marriage. Dr. Nancy Irwin, a hypnotherapist, had this to say about the sex scenes:
Â
"Unfortunately, there is still considerable disapproval of gays in our culture, and this episode will probably spark controversy. Yet, in the end it will be a victory. The envelope is already being pushed...young gays are having sex! I am confident that 'Glee' will handle this issue in an emotionally and psychologically healthy way, so that this young couple is coming of age in a positive, loving manner."
Â
To counter this I will leave the closing remarks to Bill Muehlenberg:
Â
"As both homosexual and non-homosexuals have admitted, and as has been thoroughly documented by scientific studies, the homosexual lifestyle is in many respects a very risky, even dangerous, lifestyle. It is associated with numerous illnesses and diseases and at higher levels than among non-homosexuals. Much of this is associated with the promiscuous and high-risk nature of homosexuality."
Bill Muehlenberg, Strained Relations, pg 9

Of course, the truth would never make the final cut of a Glee episode.
