Glee updated their Facebook photo.
Finchel is still the cockblockiest, and none for Brittana. :-(
The Box Scene Campaign: Spreading the Word
Many have you have shown so much passion and initiative in spreading the word of what our fandom accomplished together. Thank you so much!
Thanks to your efforts, Ali Adler (Glee writer), Leanne Aguilera, AfterElton.com (thanks to Christie Keith), and others are aware of the work we did together. Even better, our efforts seem to have amplified the discussion about why the scene was initially cut and what that means for queer representation on the show.
We truly appreciate your passion to spread the word and want to help create a united front with a clear, consistent message.
If you would like to continue to spread the word via Twitter about why Klaine fans came together and raised $14,000 for charity, please tweet the following to any media sources you think would be interested in our efforts:
Fans of Glee’s Kurt & Blaine raised $14,000 for charity (@projangelfood)! Here’s why: http://youtu.be/6lTdmd2QvTk
As always, please remain respectful and refrain from spamming.
Here is a potential and partial list of people you may want to tweet:
- @GleeonFox
- @bfalchuk
- @GleeTV (Dante Di Loreto, former member of the board for Project Angel Food)
- @MsLeaSalonga
- @theellenshow
If you would like to include Chris or Darren in your tweet, please only do so once in order to avoid spamming:
Fans of Glee’s Kurt (@chriscolfer) & Blaine (@darrencriss) raised $14,000 for charity (@projangelfood)! Here’s why: http://youtu.be/6lTdmd2QvTk
Again, thank you so much for spreading the word! Hopefully, if news of our efforts reaches the powers that be, the writers and the network will realize that there are thousands, if not millions, of fans and viewers that want to see a loving relationship between two individuals who both just happen be male play out on our screens. Perhaps that knowledge will give them the courage to write more stories, and most imporantly, air those stories, so that the media will begin to not only reflect the reality of our society, but also begin to change it.

blaine anderson performances - wanna be startin’ something
For LGBT kids today, I imagine that it may be a little bit easier to come out of the closet because of the many images they see of LGBT people on television. Glee, alone, has done much to represent the diversity of the acronym that defines our community. I’ve smiled each time that newly out lesbian Santana shared sweet kisses with her bisexual girlfriend, Brittany. I’ve cried pretty much any time Mr. Hummel has said anything to his gay son, Kurt, while I’ve also appreciated how Santana’s disapproving abuela (grandmother) accurately depicted the difficulty that LGBT people of color have when coming out to their families. Perhaps I was most proud of Ryan Murphy when he introduced the first transgender/ gender nonconforming character to McKinley High, through a young African American teenager named Unique. Through these characters, young children who are LGBT can see that there are many ways to be and exist, and that LGBT people can be of all races, genders, body types, and character types. …
So, hey Ryan Murphy! If you need a gay Filipino American to make a cameo on Glee (perhaps as a teacher or Blaine’s cool, gay uncle), you know where to find me.

I’ve never seen Casablanca, but my sister and father just informed me that the Finchel scene last night is a direct parallel to Rick putting Ilsa on a plane. Has anyone else made this connection?
