Sooo, people who pass judgment on Sex at Dawn without actually reading Sex at Dawn are dumbasses, but people who pass judgment on Glee without actually watching Glee are.....??

I love their reaction, it's the little things in life that make the world right for a few minutes each day. Gleek out, kids.

I'm wondering if Fox is going to get any flack over this from parents who want to shield their kids from the big bad homosex.

If you think this reaction is unwarranted, check out the comments thread for the clip itself

Apparently the kiss scene was removed in many asian and muslim countries.

I don't get why people dump on Glee so much. If nothing else, it's one of the consistently funniest shows on television. The entire Trouty Mouth thing last night was ace.

They look like a bunch of "foam party fags" (quick everyone yell at the gay guy at Vanity Fair for being funny!!)

Kinda sweet. Makes me wonder if I was ever that young. (Yes, but Lincoln was president.)

@9 Do you remember what you were doing when he was shot?

Ah, I do love the squealing we do at our house when watching glee. I was part of the squeal heard round the world when the self-loathing football player kissed Kurt. so this made it so, so, so much better.

Aww. I find glee unwatchable (I try, I swear!), but that was pretty fucking adorable.

It's on Fox, so I refuse to take part in raising their ratings and advertising revenues.

Who records themselves watching a television show? Did the person holding the camera just have a feeling that something was going to happen?

You know that to gleek means to squirt liquid right out of your salivary glands. Sometimes, if you yawn while you're reading a book, you'll see a spray of water droplets on the page. That's gleeking.

I like the idea of Glee more than I like the execution, but I watch it, and I'm going to keep watching it until I throw up my hands and say, "Screw it, it's not worth it anymore."

I was watching last night, and I cheered for Kurt and for gay kids everywhere.

@14 It must have been DVRed or something. At the end of the clip you can see that someone was rewinding it. So, I doubt that was the first time they watched the scene.

I watched this this morning and squealed like a girl...wait I am a girl.

Any way, it was about time. It made my day to see that kiss. :D

Anyone know why Dan Savage doesn't like Glee?

@cbtharring because he's bitter and judgey about their covers of certain musical numbers hahah. I don't really like all the music performances in Glee, but I LOVE the show exactly for moments like this, and for the hilarious one-liners the lezzy cheer leaders spout.

Dan as a straight man let me tell you Glee is awesome

Dan, I think your street cred bankroll is big enough to admit you like Glee.

As someone who used to watch and enjoy Glee, I can say that for myself, the show really sucks now, and yes, watching their reactions was 100 times more enjoyable than sitting through that whole episode would have been.
