In honor of Pride Month, I will be posting Glee videos regarding the LGBTQ+ community, since it’s one of the few things they did decently. Happy Pride month everyone!! The only month that really matters. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Happy Pride month! And you just totally took the words out of my mouth: Glee was incredibly flawed, sometimes terrible. But you could count on one thing, and that was that it did the LGB community justice. Not so sure about the TQ+ part. I seem to recall that some things on Glee were problematic regarding the trans community, but as a cisperson, I don't have any kind of authority to speak on their behalf.
Burt is one of my favorite characters ever because he is presented at first as the stereotypical masculine dad who wants his son to play football and wouldnt want him to be gay but then when Kurt comes out he accepts him for who he is and loves him. Also love when Burt does the single ladies scene it's one of my favorite Burt moments.
Seriously! I love what they did with his character! He was realistic and reminded me of my parents. He might not always understand, but he always does what he can to care for his son and learn. He shows the difference between perfectly understanding and BEING understanding, having the desire to learn and continuously love his son unconditionally ❤️
My fav Burt moment was when he was trying to explain to Kurt that he should wait for sex... It was so beautiful that he treated it as something special, as apposed to most men who have the sex talk with their son & it consists of "quick, go get laid" lol
Same here. He started off knowing he was gay but probably not wanting to admit it, then Kurt came out to him and he admitted he wasn’t thrilled about it, but that Kurt is doing nothing wrong and it’s his own job to work through his feelings about it (which freaking PROPS to him because that’s such a hard thing for some people to do, put their own feelings about something aside and work to grow out of their comfort zone and unlearn their opinions for the sake of someone they love), to being his biggest fan and protector, even against Finn who was like another son to him and the kid of the woman he loved. And then he never went backwards once. It’s not like the show gave him all this development just to turn him around and be crappy at some point. I adore Burt so much
I know you're not the biggest Kurt and Blaine fan, but I do think that Blaine publicly dancing with Kurt at the prom was a nice moment especially after he had just been humiliated. Also I wish they had focused more on Brittany's sexuality. The writers made such a big deal about Santana being a lesbian but I also think they should have had Brittany talk about how she felt about it. Seems like Brittany wasn't as bothered about it as Santana but she should have been given a chance to discuss her feelings. In the early seasons, Brittany was portrayed as kinda loose and slept around but even if she was bisexual or just happened to like fooling around with Santana, they could have given her something to say about it. Heck even if she just said "I'm okay with people knowing I like girls, but I know you're not there yet" the writers could have done so much more.
I agree about the Brittany thing. I also hated that other than Santana, she only dated guys. She was BISEXUAL, but the writers never even showed her being attracted to another girl
The only thing I really hated about glee was the biphobia... I'm bisexual myself, and they never did Brittany any good with her bisexuality OR had her say "I'm bisexual" it just sucks...
Take out the B for a second. Ryan Murphy was basically biphobic. Kurt basically said a bisexual is just a gay who gest back in the closet, and Santana said that she finally has a girlfriend she doesn't worry about straying for penis. Like, that's pretty biphobic and Brittany was never explicitly bisexual. They looked to scared to actually write a bisexual character, remaining stuck to stereotypes of bisexual being promiscuous and unfaithful
@@ameliemiskin ah, really? I didn't remember she was out of the closet as bisexual. I mean, she clearly was, but I only remember her describing herself like "Not completely gay"
Well he wasn't expecting it. And he also said later that it was the first time he had ever been kissed. You don't really want your first kiss to be with the guy who bullies you.
The moment Karofsky kissed him was the moment where he became a true predator for Kurt. This kiss was forced on Kurt, it was extremely aggressive, and from that moment on Karofsky would insult Kurt AND throw him suggestive/leering glances. So of course Kurt was terrified. His bully just forcefully kissed him and showed interest in him. This is the most terrifying kind of bully you can ever meet.
i think the scene at the cafe where blaine talk to kurt about thinking hes bi is so important. as a bi woman i have experienced so much biphobia from within the community and this scene is just so special to me
Imo Kurt coming out to his dad was more important because his dad supported him straight away without hesitation whereas Santana’s grandmother disowned her.
@@sapphicvillanelle6456 And? That’s true. But it’s more important that Kurt’s dad was supportive. Would you rather have homophobic families promoted or supporting, loving families?
@@ShannanMV I see where you're coming from, but I agree that Santana coming out to her grandmother is more important. People are constantly disowned by their family due to their sexuality, and it needs to shown more often. No one is going to have a perfect or supporting family, and it should be shown in the media. I do understand what you mean by promoting support, but you can't ignore that it isn't always like that. Both should be equally important, but I do believe in this case, Santana coming out to her should be the first.
@@trashykawa4681 Yeah I get that. To me I see tons of things about people being disowned so it was refreshing seeing Kurt’s dad, this manly man, accept him.
Santana and Brittany were so disrespected it still pisses me off. They had a lot more romantic scenes with blaine and kurt and even they didn't have a crazy amount. And the last episode was the worst imo. We got a 10 second flash of britt & santana while the whole episode was about kurt Blaine and rachel.
wait excuse me what? I’m not at that point yet but wtf? They barely showed us anything of two of the characters who practically carried most of the show in the finale?
ik i'm late to this, but people say that it was because of the network at the time. But why did Kurt and Blaine get way more than they did? they were legit the reason i watched the show 😔
To me it’s not a great moment just because it was supposed to demonstrate how Finn wasn’t homophobic and would stand up to homophobic bullies, yet he refused to stand up for Kurt in season 2 and displayed his homophobia when he outed santana.
I love Glee, but as a gay man, I can admit that they definitely messed up their LGBTQ storylines. Firstly, the glaringly obvious biphobia. When Brittany rebounded with Sam, Santana reacts poorly even though she's the one who dumped Brittany, and then she had the gall to get pissed that Brittany went back to dating men, which is a callback to her getting pissed that Brittany wouldn't dump Artie for her in season 2. Not to mention Kurt's stupid comments about bisexuality not existing. Sexuality is a spectrum, not an either or situation. Blaine and Kurt getting engaged after getting back together, after being apart for months. Blaine and Kurt getting married after being apart for months. Kurt pressuring Blaine into situations that make him uncomfortable like the Prom in season 2. Kurt getting pissed at Blaine for being the Alpha Gay. Beiste's trans storyline coming out of nowhere. It could have been good had they built it up, but they spent Beiste's earlier storylines talking about she just wanted to feel beautiful and loved by a man in spite of her looks. For me though, the worst offense was not capitalizing on the natural chemistry between Darren Criss and Grant Gustin. When you have two straight actors pulling off that kind of chemistry, you work it, but Glee was still in that whole third season Rachel/Finn-Kurt/Blaine black hole where there was no real relationship drama.
As much as I know trans representation is incredibly important, I feel like the beiste storyline undermined everything the character had represented up until that point. Cis straight masculine women exist too and are extremely valid.
I know season 6 was a flop but that trans choir was emotional. As a transguy who had recently accepted himself and came out seeing that was just a lot and it was the first episode I ever cried at
@Lily Edwards Also underaged drinking, drugs, bullying, offensive content and grown adults creeping on minors. Just not a family friendly show all around.
My daughter is 16 and we watched Glee together and talked about the content and she would ask questions and I would always give her honest answers and as a teen she has such an adult attitude but she's loving, level headed, Respectful, kind and accepting I'm proud of who she's becoming and I'm glad for honest shows like this that express so many variables we still watch glee together and we still laugh and cry with it and we will always love Kurt.
I first started watching glee when I was 8 with my mum, I've got to say most of the adult stuff went over my head, I also didn't really see the characters as lgbtq but just who they were as people. Like I never questioned it even tho Glee was probably the first time I was exposed to people who were lgbtq. I just didn't think anything about it, just like I wouldn't think anything about a straight person being straight. I can also say I thought the same thing about race. Society is the cause of discrimination.
I have to thank you for making this video. As a 15 year old pansexual, this show has made me realize so much that who I am is OK more than anything else and gave me the courage to come out to some members of my family I was previously afraid of coming out to. Glee may have been a mess at times, but I have to agree with you that it did do pretty good with representation for LGBTQ+ people all over the world. My favorite moment on this list has to be when all the girls stood up for Santana in season three, definitely. One of the many moments on Glee that made me cry because it was just so damn well done. Oh, and definitely Kurt coming out as well; that was such a moving scene.
hi i know this gonna be weird but i wanna come out to my parents as lesbian and nonbinary (she/they) but im scared i know they say that they support lgbtq+ but then again i see them saying homophobic or transphobic slurs idk what to do HELP
@@S6nkissed as nice as it is to be able to be yourself, i wouldn’t come out to your parents until it’s safe for you to do so. if they say they’re supportive but then turn around and use slurs, i would have to say they aren’t supportive. coming out could create an unsafe environment for you and I’d hate for that to happen.
I loved that scene, but my only objection is here's two ( I feel they are beautiful) lesbian actresses of a certain age & yet, during the course of this show they are never portrayed as lesbians. Instead one plays straight & the other straight, then trans. But the two traditionally beautiful straight girls got to play lesbian.. that always bothered me... I understand they wanted to tell a trans story, but that was Unique's story. I just always wondered how Dot Marie Jones felt when they told her she'd be doing a trans story & I hoped it didn't hurt her feelings, the implication that she's 'manly' enough to pull off the story. Butch lesbians go throw a pain that lipstick lesbians will never know.
The way Kurt chokes slightly on the word gay when he comes out to Mercedes.... it still gives me chills 🥺 I feel like the first time every queer person comes out they say it this exact way. I know I did the first time I came out as bi. Glee may have been unhinged, but they also got some scenes perfect.
Glee did some really groundbreaking things but they also did horrible things that helped spread toxicity (Kurt telling Blaine he can’t be bi, finn being praised for outing Santana)
Fun fact that isn’t fun, a couple days ago I got my first suit ever (for prom) and I was in my room listening to music and when I started trying on the suit cough syrup came on and I was distracted and I just sang but not even 10 seconds in I remembered the glee scene and as someone who has attempted I started crying and I just continued putting in my suit why this song blasted but by the end it turned in to a happy type of crying because I though of how far I’ve come and that karofsky survived (even tho he’s fictional)
I feel like the scene with Kurt being elected prom queen should have been in there because it has the infamous Kurt Hummel line "It doesn't matter rather they are pushing me, or whispering behind my back, they can't touch me! They can't touch us, or what we have!"
I love Burt so much, every parent should be this supportive of their kid, no matter if they are part of the LGBTQ+ community or not. He is one hell of an amazing father
even with all the problematic things glee is such a good coming of age show tackling all hard subjects and encouraging young people to accept themselves and it played a huge role in my teen years and it doesn't get enough credit for that
❤🧡💛💚💙💜 I love the representation in Glee. I do think more could have been done around other sexualities but I still adore it. And the fact that trans people were included means so much to me ❤🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
santana´s scene with her abuelita always gets me :( I´m bi and haven´t come out yet and idk why I feel my family would react like that, makes me cry...
@@toocoldforyouhere8353 Yh what about it, Blaine thought he was bi bc of the kiss with Rachel and Kurt thought he wasn’t and they had a disagreement but then Blaine learned that he was rlly gay what’s the problem.
i love santana and brits engagement because it finally means that santana is ready for he world to see her as she wants to be, and she shows her softer side
Sjej Dyeb yes ma’am, I’m glad I got your support. My grandma is not nice about it at all but at least I have people who don’t care about it and just see me for me
Sophie Whitham awww what an exceptional family you have. Yes everyone deserves rights and deserves to be treated like humans❤️ I hope your brother and sister are happy now that they’re open
Lesbian Amazon Sister thank you so much 💗 my family knows. Some of my family want nothing to do with me now like my grandma and cousins. But my parents are supportive. Sometimes I just feel like it’s too much
@@josiegrossie2877 your grandma may come around one day. My cousins parents treated her like crap for yrs but eventually they got over it. Her oldest sister was a MONSTER about it. Then my cousin got sick... It became clear she wasn't going to make it... I will never forget standing in her kitchen & hearing her oldest sister yell into the phone (to the insurance company) "I don't give a shit that you don't acknowledge my sister's relationship as a 'legal marriage' !! They have been together for YEARS and if u think I'm going to allow you to deny them the same rights as a straight couple you aren't just an ignorant ass, your a homophobic ignorant ass!!" I was so proud of her I started to bawl... Their whole lives she had never gotten it. But when the chips were down, she finally did.... I hope things get better in your family....but even if they don't, you don't give up on life ok? You were put here for a reason sweet child, and if you check out before you are supposed to, you will never know why you were put here... This is a story you want to see through to the end...
How is no one talking about karofskys and kurts kiss is not okay at all. It was assault since Kurt never ever said it was okay and was traumatized by it
Glee was like half the reason I came out nearly two years ago. I may not be the biggest fan of the show, especially considering the amount of biphobia (and especially because I eventually came out as bi), but it was a life-changing experience to watch Santana and Brittany be in love the way I want to be in love.
and i loved how they didn’t correct him when he called them lesbians. i guess it would be fine if they said “no I’m straight” but since they didn’t clear it up it really brings home the point that it doesn’t matter if the rest of the girls were lesbian or not, because santana (and all gay ppl) didnt deserve to be harassed because of her sexuality
Overall I loved the lgbtq storylines (and it was my first realisation that I may not be straight, Buffy was my second). However there were 2 moments that really annoyed me. First was when Mr 👞 rapped same love , like it just felt so wrong. But then again I hate him rapping full stop. Like?! And the second was when Finn outed Santana! That had me screaming. He outed her despite what happened to Kurt, despite the fact she wasn’t’ ready, despite knowing how Ohio thinks about it, despite the fact Santana may not have been safe?! Also it portrays this idea that it’s ok for the “right reasons”. But it’s not, Santana lashed out because she was angry. Regardless of intentions, when you out someone you put them in a potentially dangerous and even life threatening situation, with a risk of completely destroying their mental health, relationships (if they have a partner, their partner might not be ready to come out etc), and yet Finn faced no repercussions when I believe they’ve made it illegal now to put someone. And Finn was portrayed as looking out for Santana and her mental health and “helping her deal with her sexuality”. When he forced her to come out, when she obviously wasn’t’t ready. There were other ways he could have “helped her” like let her talk to him if she needed etc. I know she was insulting him but there’s so many things he could have said instead of just outing her,
Yeesss, I completely agree with u on this. I’m just curious what from buffy was ur realization? Bc willow was my big bi awakening along with santana and kurt.
I love how much this has done for the community but I just want to make sure we can all acknowledge this representation could've been improved upon. I don't mean to take away from all the great things it's done but I feel as though we constantly take the bare minimum of representation. Like this is awesome but we have such a long way to go too!
kurt- im gay burt- i know kurt- really burt- ive known since you were 3 when u asked for ________ heels kurt- thanks dad burt- *nods and walks away* burt- *turns back* kurt... kurt- yeah? burt- are you sure? kurt- yeah dad burt- just checking that scene gets me every time. Burt is such an icon he is one of my favs
People forget Glee was made in 2009 not 2021, it made a great impact on society, this series was focused on problems that teens face it and having so many LGBT actors and LGBT characters was a huge step at that time, Glee could've failed but it got super famous and put a light on people who didn't have representation at that time, Glee deserves all the praise, it helped so many LGBT people and even straight to accept who they're and their flaws

It could have been good had they built it up, but they spent Beiste's earlier storylines talking about she just wanted to feel beautiful and loved by a man in spite of her looks. For me though, the worst offense was not capitalizing on the natural chemistry between Darren Criss and Grant Gustin. When you have two straight actors pulling off that kind of chemistry, you work it, but Glee was still in that whole third season Rachel/Finn-Kurt/Blaine black hole where there was no real relationship drama.
Blaine was the one that get mad at kurt for being strong
As much as I know trans representation is incredibly important, I feel like the beiste storyline undermined everything the character had represented up until that point. Cis straight masculine women exist too and are extremely valid.
I know season 6 was a flop but that trans choir was emotional. As a transguy who had recently accepted himself and came out seeing that was just a lot and it was the first episode I ever cried at
Ohhh now I know why I wasn’t allowed to watch glee when I was little. People being gay is apparently “not kid friendly”🙄
@Lily Edwards oh yeah you’re probably right lmao
@Lily Edwards Also underaged drinking, drugs, bullying, offensive content and grown adults creeping on minors. Just not a family friendly show all around.
My daughter is 16 and we watched Glee together and talked about the content and she would ask questions and I would always give her honest answers and as a teen she has such an adult attitude but she's loving, level headed, Respectful, kind and accepting I'm proud of who she's becoming and I'm glad for honest shows like this that express so many variables we still watch glee together and we still laugh and cry with it and we will always love Kurt.
I first started watching glee when I was 8 with my mum, I've got to say most of the adult stuff went over my head, I also didn't really see the characters as lgbtq but just who they were as people. Like I never questioned it even tho Glee was probably the first time I was exposed to people who were lgbtq. I just didn't think anything about it, just like I wouldn't think anything about a straight person being straight. I can also say I thought the same thing about race. Society is the cause of discrimination.
That's stupid. The people who say that, are the same people who ask their 5 year old kids if they have a girlfriend or boyfriend.
None: Absolutely nobody: My FBI agent watching me cry my eyes out:🥺🥺
I have to thank you for making this video. As a 15 year old pansexual, this show has made me realize so much that who I am is OK more than anything else and gave me the courage to come out to some members of my family I was previously afraid of coming out to. Glee may have been a mess at times, but I have to agree with you that it did do pretty good with representation for LGBTQ+ people all over the world. My favorite moment on this list has to be when all the girls stood up for Santana in season three, definitely. One of the many moments on Glee that made me cry because it was just so damn well done. Oh, and definitely Kurt coming out as well; that was such a moving scene.
Hey this is rlly late but I’m 15 years old too and I’m a lesbian glee has helped me so much too lots of love 💕💕💕 teen queer solidarity xxx
Yall might think I'm young but I'm 11 and I'm bi ;-;
hi i know this gonna be weird but i wanna come out to my parents as lesbian and nonbinary (she/they) but im scared i know they say that they support lgbtq+ but then again i see them saying homophobic or transphobic slurs idk what to do HELP
@@S6nkissed as nice as it is to be able to be yourself, i wouldn’t come out to your parents until it’s safe for you to do so. if they say they’re supportive but then turn around and use slurs, i would have to say they aren’t supportive. coming out could create an unsafe environment for you and I’d hate for that to happen.
@@S6nkissed you must be yourself to be happy so just tell them it doesn't matter what they think or say

I was feeling the Gay Pain tonight and am almost in tears watching this despite never having watched Glee
How are you doing today?
@@newchannel7523 Better
You gotta watch it. It will legit be like free therepy for u, it was for me...
i've seen the trans choir scene so many times and every single time i cry because of how impactful it is
I loved that scene, but my only objection is here's two ( I feel they are beautiful) lesbian actresses of a certain age & yet, during the course of this show they are never portrayed as lesbians. Instead one plays straight & the other straight, then trans. But the two traditionally beautiful straight girls got to play lesbian.. that always bothered me... I understand they wanted to tell a trans story, but that was Unique's story. I just always wondered how Dot Marie Jones felt when they told her she'd be doing a trans story & I hoped it didn't hurt her feelings, the implication that she's 'manly' enough to pull off the story. Butch lesbians go throw a pain that lipstick lesbians will never know.
The way Kurt chokes slightly on the word gay when he comes out to Mercedes.... it still gives me chills 🥺 I feel like the first time every queer person comes out they say it this exact way. I know I did the first time I came out as bi.
Glee may have been unhinged, but they also got some scenes perfect.
I loved the slow dance but as a afab gay Brittana was the best. Especially the journey Santana had in accepting her sexuality.
Glee did some really groundbreaking things but they also did horrible things that helped spread toxicity (Kurt telling Blaine he can’t be bi, finn being praised for outing Santana)
Kurt and Blaine are so cute
The fact that this show made me cry so much than any other show is amazing I love how aware they are of gay people and the lgbtqia+ people
Fun fact that isn’t fun, a couple days ago I got my first suit ever (for prom) and I was in my room listening to music and when I started trying on the suit cough syrup came on and I was distracted and I just sang but not even 10 seconds in I remembered the glee scene and as someone who has attempted I started crying and I just continued putting in my suit why this song blasted but by the end it turned in to a happy type of crying because I though of how far I’ve come and that karofsky survived (even tho he’s fictional)
I feel like the scene with Kurt being elected prom queen should have been in there because it has the infamous Kurt Hummel line
"It doesn't matter rather they are pushing me, or whispering behind my back, they can't touch me! They can't touch us, or what we have!"
This kinda thing happens all the time just go with it
Idk why but I died
I love Burt so much, every parent should be this supportive of their kid, no matter if they are part of the LGBTQ+ community or not. He is one hell of an amazing father
even with all the problematic things glee is such a good coming of age show tackling all hard subjects and encouraging young people to accept themselves and it played a huge role in my teen years and it doesn't get enough credit for that
Tbh this vid was actually accurate.
Kurt and Blaine and Brittany and Santana should have had more kisses
Santana proposed... Brittney says yes ..."OMG REALLY????"
who reacts like that to a yes in marriage????
I would 🙈😅
brittney
@@Lonii04 lmao I would too
There was not a "OMG"
these characters are the only reason I watch glee
the moment santana came out to her abuela and she rejected her is so damn hard, it litterally broke my heart
Burt: "I'm not totally love with the idea"
Also Burt: *performs Single Ladies for Kurt*
Where was the Lebanese t shirt? Also this was a great video thanks for posting it!!
❤🧡💛💚💙💜 I love the representation in Glee. I do think more could have been done around other sexualities but I still adore it. And the fact that trans people were included means so much to me ❤🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Kurt coming out literally in the third episode is just not talked about enough. Like he literally never told anyone.
The video was great but that wasn’t brittana’s first kiss
Emma Veenstra its the first legitimate kiss. I dont count the bed scene or the quick peck in the hall
Shannon oh yeah i did so yes then its the first kiss “sorry”❤️ really loved the video tho
santana´s scene with her abuelita always gets me :( I´m bi and haven´t come out yet and idk why I feel my family would react like that, makes me cry...
my friend has been telling me to “just wait for s6e7 because it’s empowering” and i just got it spoiled for me shit-
Well, LGT . Since the B doesn’t exist, does it Kurt?!
Wydm?
@@zariellewis4650 Just watch the scene when Blaine thinks he is Bi XD
😂 I was thinking that
@Olive Miller Mattis it’s still definitely biphobic and the show writers put it in there knowing it
@@toocoldforyouhere8353 Yh what about it, Blaine thought he was bi bc of the kiss with Rachel and Kurt thought he wasn’t and they had a disagreement but then Blaine learned that he was rlly gay what’s the problem.
I HATE how they treated unique. The amount of times characters were transphobic to her made me want to punch my tv
Klaine slow dancing to dancing queen at Kurt’s junior prom!
Burt is the best tv dad
but ✨biphobia✨
i love santana and brits engagement because it finally means that santana is ready for he world to see her as she wants to be, and she shows her softer side
I’m lesbean and my grandma doesn’t know. I relate to K because I have tried suicide too
Another lesbian here I’m so sorry you went through that the community is always here to support you I rlly hope ur feeling better about it now 💕💕💕
Sjej Dyeb yes ma’am, I’m glad I got your support. My grandma is not nice about it at all but at least I have people who don’t care about it and just see me for me
Sophie Whitham awww what an exceptional family you have. Yes everyone deserves rights and deserves to be treated like humans❤️ I hope your brother and sister are happy now that they’re open
Lesbian Amazon Sister thank you so much 💗 my family knows. Some of my family want nothing to do with me now like my grandma and cousins. But my parents are supportive. Sometimes I just feel like it’s too much
@@josiegrossie2877 your grandma may come around one day. My cousins parents treated her like crap for yrs but eventually they got over it. Her oldest sister was a MONSTER about it. Then my cousin got sick... It became clear she wasn't going to make it...
I will never forget standing in her kitchen & hearing her oldest sister yell into the phone (to the insurance company) "I don't give a shit that you don't acknowledge my sister's relationship as a 'legal marriage' !! They have been together for YEARS and if u think I'm going to allow you to deny them the same rights as a straight couple you aren't just an ignorant ass, your a homophobic ignorant ass!!" I was so proud of her I started to bawl... Their whole lives she had never gotten it. But when the chips were down, she finally did....
I hope things get better in your family....but even if they don't, you don't give up on life ok? You were put here for a reason sweet child, and if you check out before you are supposed to, you will never know why you were put here... This is a story you want to see through to the end...
3:09 kurt:😳??
Also me:😳⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
burt is the best parent ever you canty convince me otherwise
What the first britanna kiss was in season three 😅😳 wow I thought it was a lot sooner than that 🙃
There were pther kisses but that was their first legit kiss as a couple
I NEED A FATHER LIKE BURT HUMMEL
The first scene really moved me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ how beautiful scene
Glee was amazing when it comes to representation in my opnion
Chris Golfers character Kurt has the most beautiful spirit ever.
Burt Hummel is something we like to call ✨GROWTH✨
Ik nobody cares but glee rlly helped me accept myself and um stuff ye (I’m not good at emotions lol) so um luv the video!
How is no one talking about karofskys and kurts kiss is not okay at all. It was assault since Kurt never ever said it was okay and was traumatized by it
This video is so beautiful
I want Burt to be my dad
When he proposed!!!!!!!
you forgot born this way
Glee was like half the reason I came out nearly two years ago. I may not be the biggest fan of the show, especially considering the amount of biphobia (and especially because I eventually came out as bi), but it was a life-changing experience to watch Santana and Brittany be in love the way I want to be in love.
Blaine: *proposing*
Schue for no reason: 😬
3:39 - 4:00 I love because it’s so great to see straight girls sticking up for their lesbian friends. Wonderful to see.
and i loved how they didn’t correct him when he called them lesbians. i guess it would be fine if they said “no I’m straight” but since they didn’t clear it up it really brings home the point that it doesn’t matter if the rest of the girls were lesbian or not, because santana (and all gay ppl) didnt deserve to be harassed because of her sexuality
Overall I loved the lgbtq storylines (and it was my first realisation that I may not be straight, Buffy was my second). However there were 2 moments that really annoyed me. First was when Mr 👞 rapped same love , like it just felt so wrong. But then again I hate him rapping full stop. Like?! And the second was when Finn outed Santana! That had me screaming. He outed her despite what happened to Kurt, despite the fact she wasn’t’ ready, despite knowing how Ohio thinks about it, despite the fact Santana may not have been safe?! Also it portrays this idea that it’s ok for the “right reasons”. But it’s not, Santana lashed out because she was angry. Regardless of intentions, when you out someone you put them in a potentially dangerous and even life threatening situation, with a risk of completely destroying their mental health, relationships (if they have a partner, their partner might not be ready to come out etc), and yet Finn faced no repercussions when I believe they’ve made it illegal now to put someone. And Finn was portrayed as looking out for Santana and her mental health and “helping her deal with her sexuality”. When he forced her to come out, when she obviously wasn’t’t ready. There were other ways he could have “helped her” like let her talk to him if she needed etc. I know she was insulting him but there’s so many things he could have said instead of just outing her,
Yeesss, I completely agree with u on this. I’m just curious what from buffy was ur realization? Bc willow was my big bi awakening along with santana and kurt.
Amen! Great video!
Ok, but can we talk about how at 3:18 Rachel and Mercedes are doing the exact same grin?? lmao
Honestly Burt seemed intimidating at first, but guess I was TOTALLY wrong.
#1 best dad!
I love how much this has done for the community but I just want to make sure we can all acknowledge this representation could've been improved upon. I don't mean to take away from all the great things it's done but I feel as though we constantly take the bare minimum of representation. Like this is awesome but we have such a long way to go too!
Why aren't faberry moments in here
Aishah Siddiqy because there just a ship not a couple and that’s not a important lgbtq moment it’s just a ship.
kurt- im gay
burt- i know
kurt- really
burt- ive known since you were 3 when u asked for ________ heels
kurt- thanks dad
burt- *nods and walks away*
burt- *turns back* kurt...
kurt- yeah?
burt- are you sure?
kurt- yeah dad
burt- just checking
that scene gets me every time. Burt is such an icon he is one of my favs
Thought this was gonna be a happy video. then boom! cough syrup. and im already crying.
everytime i listen to cough syrup i cry because of this
this show was bad for Bisexuals
People forget Glee was made in 2009 not 2021, it made a great impact on society, this series was focused on problems that teens face it and having so many LGBT actors and LGBT characters was a huge step at that time, Glee could've failed but it got super famous and put a light on people who didn't have representation at that time, Glee deserves all the praise, it helped so many LGBT people and even straight to accept who they're and their flaws
Burt's reaction is how i would want my family to be but sadly i know it would be more like Santanna's family.
Who else realizes that Santana's abuela is also the abuela from Jane the Virgin XD
Me 😂 I watched Jane the virgin so long ago but I remember and she still plays the strongly religious grandma
@@zariellewis4650 yep 😂
i loved this but i think if i were a boy and uniques trans choir should have been higher
