Up Next: Glee: Gay, or Just "Gay"? With Special Guest Super Queer-Mo!
In the past week, I have heard or read at least five jokes where the punchline is about how gay the cast of Glee is. Admittedly, I have only seen from the pilot to "sectionals" (the first half of season 1), but I have some major concerns about the show's representation of queer people. Is Glee more than a punchline? I will be bringing in a guest writer and fellow queer/feminist activist, and self-professed "Gleek" to discuss. Perhaps we will even get to the bottom of why I am so much harder on queer cinema and television than its mainstream counterparts.

This is not a forum for the debating of the existence of sexism, homophobia, racism, classism, transphobia, ableism, or any of the other major forms of intersecting oppressions. OMG, THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PLACES YOU CAN DO THAT!
Also, disagree with me and each other all you like! I love that! If you noticed I said something fucked up about oppression, or if your expertise in your own oppression gives you a better view, and if you are feeling generous enough to share that with me!? I embrace that!
Just be respectful. No name calling, No verbally attacking people. Please, my three readers and twenty-five spambots have feelings too, you know.
