While some fans have expressed dismay that Brittany and Santana have yet to seal their romance with a kiss, costar Jane Lynch says she thinks the lack of girl-girl action makes sense. “I don’t think Brittany’s in it. I don’t think Brittany’s in love with Santana,” Lynch theorizes. “I think Santana needs a girlfriend. Brittany… [Read more…]

Let’s all take a big deep breath and wait. And I know, I’ve asked for it before too. But I want it to make sense. The thing about being a show that is constantly accused of “stunts” is that they probably want to avoid stunts. So panning into McKinley’s hallway of truth and finding Santana… [Read more…]

So, Glee exists in a special upside-down world where pre-teen Brittany is nonchalantly statutorily raped in a tent at cheerleader camp and ragingly hormonal 16-year-old boys keep finding emotional excuses to avoid the horizontal mambo. To be fair, however, Finn is a lesbian and boy does he show his Sapphic side this episode! http://www.autostraddle.com/glee-episode-305-recap-just-the-tip-120189/ Can… [Read more…]
Reblogged with permission from here. Written by the lovely Julia. I promised some people I would talk about Brittany and Artie and disability and etc. on here at some point. Might as well start now. Hmm. I’ve written about Artie and disability here and here, and about Brittany and sex here. Glee has written and played out disability-themed storylines… [Read more…]

Girl-on-girl pop culture queen, Dorothy Snarker, takes on the difficult subject of how lesbian audiences react to bisexual female characters in an article for AfterEllen. Here’s a snippet and a link. The portrayal of bisexual and sexual fluidity (which, mind you, are not the same and not necessarily interchangeable) on the large and small screen… [Read more…]

I can’t pinpoint the moment, or the scene or the words that were being said when this happened. Maybe it happened gradually. And I was excited about them from the “sex isn’t dating” comment. I was. But it still didn’t move my little fannish heart to shipping them. I’ve cited several reasons in the past… [Read more…]

I’ve been wanting to write about the Prom Queen episode since it aired, but I’ve been conflicted about it since, and it’s been muddying up my mind. But I’m here now, and you might be interested in my ramblings (I love you both!) so here I go. First, what was really bothering me, and what’s… [Read more…]

*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* Right, now that I have that out of the way, it was Brittany who was saying it. She made a t-shirt for Santana that said “Lebanese” instead of “lesbian” so I guess I can’t be too picky about the words that come out of her mouth. But, just ARGH. She’s not… [Read more…]

This is part 2. In part 1, we talked about Blaine and his exploration of his possible bisexuality. Now, for Santana, who has definitely had sex with both girls and boys in the show, but BUT who The Powers That Be have said is a lesbian. This is going to be a bit personal for… [Read more…]
