The all-boys school has 2 gay kids in its glee club, and that's enforcing a stereotype?

Hell, just by basic statistics, there should be more gay members, given the size of their glee club.



Those are the only two they have featured, we have no confirmed numbers. So no.

How about their blatant re-enforcement of the stereotype that everyone in high school thinks that the glee club is a bunch of losers?

Actually that is one they are attacking in full force. If you watched the show and I am stereotyping you that you do not, they make the GLEE club look pretty awesome and HAWT!

Wait, are you saying the sample size isn't large enough to support my claim? Wouldn't that mean it's not large enough to support your claim?

They do not feature or even let any of the rest of that school talk to find out is my point. They only show the gays which is furthering the stereotype. Or do you support this?

I thought Glee was all about perpetuating stereotypes.

As was already pointed out in this thread, when Kurt met Blaine, he also met a straight Warbler.

Which no one remembers. The main talent coming out of the warblers are portrayed as gay, nothing else. Disturbing to say the least. It would just be nice if this season or next season they showed a featured warbler that is openly not gay is all I am saying.

so is it equally disturbing that nearly all of the cast of New Directions' talent is straight? I think youre blowing this way out of proportion.
