oh the RHPS episode was clunky and uncomfortable cause it's hard to pay homage to that production that doesn't come off either too slick or too campy (i mean campy in a bad way, not the good campy of the movie). Also, Kyle do you ever come to the Toronto area to speak? As a bi man finally coming to terms with it after 24years I would love to hear more of your story or be in a Q&A with you. Your's truly, a fan.

@JCDameano I have been known to do an speaking engagement now and again, usually coupled with a screening of a movie or my web series. Let me know if you like to have me come to down, I'd love to visit Toronto.

I was incredibly offended by Kurt's comment about bisexuality in the last ep.

Sorry, but Glee is a terrible show period when it comes to dealing with any kind of minorities but gay ones, bis are just in a long list of people who are constantly ignored or mistreated. The show is racist and ableist as hell and the fact that the "GLBT" community is always up this show's ass just tells me as a queer woman of color where its priorities lie (hint: not with the B, L, or T, or those of us queer folks who are double or triple minorities).

Kyle, word to the wise, ignore this show. Don't waste your time with this man. I want this show off air. They mock not only bisexuals but races, transgenders and and lately, people with aspburgers syndrome. As a teen bi-guy, I believe some kids need something. However, not a show but maybe a website of some sort. And to get off topic, RHSP was also raped by this man. So many people have said "Oh, Glee did it much better." Idiots. They wouldn't know talent OR class if it bit them in the ass.

Great video... Keep speaking out! =)

I think Britany is bi.However,they should add a transgender character.

@HolyKatana Oh, this isn't the one I thought it was. This is the first one, the one before his response to this one, which is what I thought this was. Awkward.

I posted a couple of blogs about this on my Tumblr a couple of days ago, and whaddayaknow, Kyle's already done it. Excellent rant, Kyle.

Once again, Kyle was ahead of the times

@sinistralwing <___< I disagree. i find it very realistic. now i think it was never really focuses on actuall issues or is meant to be taken seriously except for the Character Kurt... it is a comedy in fact. not an actual Sitcom or anything. most comedy's don't ever really even focus on issues. and i think the whole britteny and Santana thing was just showing there actual character personality. there teenage girls with Raging whoremoans. it never says that they aren't straight or bi.
