Some Gleek

What happened to equal treatment?

wake-up-kid:

First, I want to thank the creators of Glee for what they have done in terms of representing homosexual teens and relationships on prime-time television. I truly appreciate it and I have seen it and even used it to help make people more aware and more accepting.

However, there are areas where Glee could and should improve in this aspect. Ryan Murphy has been outspoken about equal treatment of both the onscreen heterosexual and homosexual couples. He even ridiculed Modern Family for failing to show realistic levels of intimacy between their married homosexual couple.

“I hate it on TV shows, and there’s one show that I won’t name right now, where it’s like ‘Why aren’t these character kissing? Don’t they have a child?’ That’s ridiculous to me. I don’t understand it.”

“If I did it on my show, I would just have them do it in every scene and not have a big deal about it. I don’t think that you have to announce a very special episode. Weren’t they doing it back on Roseanne? It is just so outdated and archaic to me and as a gay man, I would never do that. I would make it very organic and do it several times and not make it a stunt.”

Sadly, it seems that Ryan Murphy and Glee have fallen prey to the very thing they criticized.
