Why is Glee So Gay?

Okay, so I’m a sucker for show tunes and glam rock.

Yes, I enjoy the amazing talent of Idina Menzel in the Broadway hit “Wicked.” Absolutely, I am left awestruck after hearing the wonderful scores of Claude-Michel Schönberg in “Les Mis.” And let’s not even dispute the fact that Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, along with the rest of the folks in Fleetwood Mac are actually seraphim sent from the very throne of God to give us the eleventh commandment, which is “don’t stop thinking about tomorrow.”

If all of that makes me less of a man, then men need to do some serious introspecting.

So when Glee, the show that perfectly captures what it is like to go to high school in the Midwest (on another planet) hit the airwaves, 12 year old girls swooned, high school Glee Club members rejoiced, and music fans like me now had to try to figure out how we could get away from our friends for an hour a week, with the doors locked and the blinds pulled, to indulge in a little “show tunage” without them really knowing we were watching Glee.

Uh, there were glee clubs in school long before anyone ever thought of the acronym.

I’ve heard of the site, but not that the site and the definition are preceded by glee clubs, and the word itself. There is no relation.

Am really hoping they don’t try to monopolize the words “college” and “football” in my lifetime.

Maybe they should. After all, it is a bunch of fit guys in skin tight pants placing their hands...well you get the idea.

“festive” - it’s gone over, too....

Friggin’ queers are making it impossible for me to adequately express myself without taking the risk of being labeled as a “fag”. Damn them!

Somebody needs to create a “straight” person’s thesarus.

Agreed, but as a former collegiate football player, I cannot condone such a thing. I hate the NFL, but my wife, daughters and I love college football. Never know who will win. They play hard every play, and don’t stop until the whistle blows (no pun intended). It’s the only sport I watch on TV, and we have season tickets to both USC and UCLA.

Sorry, but that’s my only vice, and those damn queers can go straight to hell if they think they can take that away from me.

They can keep “gay”, “glee”, and “festive”, but damn them if they want my college football, too (FU Jerry Sandusky).

College football rocks!
