So…
In his speech Kurt Hummel declares to the world that he refuses to be bullied; that he refuses to let anyone else be bullied. Because violence isn’t okay. And after that speech four people - who’ve played a very important role in the way he sees bullying - gave him a standing ovation. They were:
Burt - His father and the guy who told him that nobody pushes the Hummel’s around. The man who watched his son come home everyday after he was tormented and couldn’t do anything about it.
Will - The teacher who didn’t look hard enough to see the signs that Kurt was being bullied for far too long. The man who took way too long to pull him aside and ask him what was going on.
Rory - The new kid who was bullied right in front of him and served to remind him of what bullying truly is and how, too often, people refuse to stand up against it. He got the chance to call Rory’s bullies out and he took it.
Blaine - His boyfriend and a person who knows all too well what violence and bullying is. The boy who once confessed that bullies had tormented him and beat the crap out of him. The boy who told Kurt that he could refuse to be the victim. The boy who regrets letting his bullies chase him away.
