katie – watch glee?…

Listen, as far as I know, there will be a season 2. Glee is on a 4 month hiatus right now, apparently because of American Idol. It’s supposed to air after that….

After a quick ask around at work, it appears everyone my age watched this show besides me. Thank you for the recommendation, I will be hunting it down shortly!

I’ve heard good things about my so-called life for years finally got a hold of it and couldn’t believe how good the gay storyline was considering it was from 1994!

Thanks for the comments!

S — Awesome! I did see something about that when I was researching this. Sadly I went about 7 years of my life without television so there are huge gaps in my own telly experience. But Degrassi was always good about being progressive on controversial stories. I guess because the Degrassi Junior High kids were my age, it’s the cultural marker I use.

AvaK — I never saw that show, but I know there are a few others out there I didn’t mention, mostly because I hadn’t watched them myself. Good to hear though. I’m always excited about a good gay storyline!

You shoulda kept watching Degrassi. Degrassi Next Generation had a pretty well developed lesbian relationship between two main characters. (Inevitably it all got a bit hairy towards the end, but that’s par for the course in many of these storylines.) Also significant in the gay teen arena was South of Nowhere, which aired in the US on the N channel — most interesting I thought for the way in which two parents had very different attitudes towards the emerging sexualities of their various children. But, as far as I remember, there was actually a happy ending for the girls (before the show was killed by the network).
