Trigger Warning for Homophobia, Outing People, Glee Being a Hot Mess

life-ning:

Look at the message you’re sending to the LGBT youth that watch your show, RIB. Look at how terrified you’ve made them.

oh god, this is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever read.

So I just sort of figured out why half of Tumblr was flipping out last night. I don’t watch Glee anymore, but I follow a lot of people who do and provide excellent commentary and GIFs and it allows me to see what’s going on on the show without actually watching it.

so these messages are horrifying and triggering as FUCK to me because I WAS OUTED. And legit it was the worst, most defining moment of my life, and I saw the clip where Santana slapped Finn and she should have instead punched his throat. It wasn’t painful enough.

i mean….do y’all think the show dealt with Finn outing Santana well enough? I only have context of what’s going on through other people who have seen it. 

Also I haven’t watched it in a while IS MERCEDES STILL LIKE THE BEST THING ON TELEVISION cuz she was always my favorite singer. 

Mercedes is and always will be the best thing/saving grace on that show.

But no, they did not handle Finn outing Santana well AT ALL. That slap? The only retribution. He didn’t get enough. 

That show has made me feel deeply uncomfortable with its tactless approach to very serious subjects lately. I really, really need to stop watching it. 

omg i am so happy for that MERCEDES BE MY QUEEN LET US RULE WESTEROS TOGETHER. I always feel weird about Glee because I also LOVED Kurt, and Darren Criss is fantastic so WHY AM I NOT WATCHING IT but then stuff like this happens and then I am reminded that I have enough in my life that makes me mad, so i go back to watch Parks & Rec because that show makes me feel fuzzy inside.

fyi i do not hate you if you watch Glee. On the contrary, all of you who I follow and who post about it are wonderful people and I love reading your commentary!!!

Agreed, I don’t dislike anyone who watches and enjoys Glee on a regular basis, but if you think Finn was in the right, you need to read the above messages.

Just watching the clips last night made me anxious because it brought back so many feelings from high school when I was pretty much harassed into outing myself to my parents before I was ready, all because some anonymous asshole was leaving notes in my locker threatening to beat me up and out me to everyone. I wanted to make sure at least my parents heard it from me but I honestly wasn’t ready when I came out. I’m a lucky one too, because my bully never went through with their promises. And I still don’t know who they were.

It’s horrible and disgusting, and the next episode, from the preview, doesn’t look to be handling it better. It looks like it’s going to “handled” as “You’re out now – you should be happy about this and you should cheer up and get over it already!” And that somehow performing Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” will fix everything. Um. Side-eyeing those writers pretty hard right now.
