Glee: Sex, Songs and Sleaze
The popular show 'Glee' has caused a stir with lesbian fantasies, gay kissing, teen pregnancy and racy photos of the actors – the new season is sure to display more immorality-promoting content. As 'Gleeks' everywhere eagerly anticipate the return of their show, they should be reminded that it isn't just innocent, happy show tunes that this 'groundbreaking' show promotes. Fox's hit musical/comedy has garnered acclaim from TV critics everywhere, having received in its first season, 19 Emmy nominations, one in every comedy category , and four Golden Globe nominations, including taking home the Golden Globe for Best TV Series – Comedy or Musical. Video below the fold . 2011 is shaping up to be another praise-worthy year for 'Glee' – the comedy/musical has once again taken the Golden Globe for Best TV Series for its category and gym teacher Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) and gay protagonist Kurt (Chris Colfer) walked away with Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards, respectively. It has attracted as many as 12.3 million viewers on its second season premiere and is one of the highest grossing sales on iTunes, with 'Glee' cast songs receiving more than 13 million digital single sales to date. UK Guardian writer Sam Wollaston thanked the Almighty for 'Glee's' February return saying, '…praise the Lord its back, at last there's something joyous on television for a man in a mid-winter midlife crisis to look forward to.' Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said that 'Glee' is 'delightful enough to qualify as a fall favorite.' Entertainment Weekly writer Ken Tucker was so confident in the success of 'Glee' that he wrote that the show 'blasts past any defenses you might put up against it.' The media love 'Glee,' calling the show a 'quirky, sweet, humorous, nonpartisan funfest,' and a ' truly groundbreaking new comedy .'

Sexually Confused High School Students are the Norm Bisexual teen girls making out in revealing cheerleading outfits referencing sex acts is just another typical scene viewers will see on 'Glee.' In April 2010, two of the show's popular cheerleaders, Santana and Brittany, were shown cuddling and kissing on a bed, professing their love to one another.

These actors are portraying high school students, all of 16 or 17 years old. When emotionally unstable and famously gay hero Kurt (Chris Colfer) received an unexpected kiss from a beefy high school bully, the media was unsurprisingly, apathetic . On the November 9, 2010, episode titled 'Never Been Kissed,' typical high school bully character Karofsky, in an emotional tirade, planted a kiss Kurt in a disturbing locker-room scene. Kurt's emerging sexuality has been a major theme throughout the two seasons of 'Glee' thus far. In one emotionally charged episode, Kurt is forced to confront his inappropriate feelings for straight, handsome football quarter back Finn (Cory Monteith), the fellow Glee club member he loves. In 'Theatricality,' Finn's mom decided that the two of them are moving in with Kurt and his father and Kurt used the opportunity to encourage the arrangement for Kurt and Finn to share a room. The tension builds Kurt decided to redecorate their shared room while Finn was away. Finn came back and addressed their relationship and the room's effeminate new design.
