GLEE! takes it to a new level in each episode and this is no exception. The two-episode arch of Kurt's personal struggle with coming to terms with his sexuality is beautifully completed in this episode. The subject is handled tenderly by the writers and producers and could draw a tear from viewers who have a personal experience in this area. We could all pray that parents of gay children could be so accepting, Kurt's dad brings a sweet understanding to the "coming out" moment through a genuine expression of unconditional love. I loved how the writers let it be okay that the dad doesn't understand the physics or reason for homosexuality, but his love and acceptance of his son is truly inspiring.

I went to high school in the mid 60s so glee club was much more like a church choir than the cast of FAME in performance. Don't get me wrong--I love it. If it is this way, that is fantastic. I can't understand if it is like this why it is not more popular in the school. Why would being a cheerleader be more popular than singing and dancing onstage like a top Broadway production? The numbers are great and even if the characters don't move you, the numbers are great fun. The characters are good though. Right now we've just had the gay young man who is a glee member come out to his father. We also have two deceptions going on as to being pregnant, the teacher's wife who really isn't and the head cheerleader who is blaming the wrong high schooler. But perhaps my favorite character is the coach of the cheerleaders. She is in a perpetual snit because there is even a glee club and is acting like a commando guerilla warrior to bring the glee club down. She is hilarious. Very well done series and very, very different.
