Sure, a 'Glee' star supporting equality might seem like a "Top Chef' cast member endorsing ingredients. But still...
"Sadly, we’ve gotten letters from people who explain that they love the show but hate the gay story-lines. That we shouldn’t be polluting their children’s heads. To this I’d sometimes like to sarcastically reply, would you also like us to tell them that a stork is dropping off our offspring? That the sky is purple? That it is not practical to be true to yourself, because there are mean people in this world that will make them feel wrong for being honest? That instead of embracing themselves, they should lie to the world? THEY should be the ones being untrue and unhappy?
I believe that if you are bringing a child into the world, you should be willing to accept them in any reality. Whether they are Black, White, Asian, have four fingers, are disabled, gay….that the only wish should be for a happy and healthy baby. We are each other’s children. Unless someone has committed a violent or hateful act, why should we judge? We can so quickly resort to anger, often, the product of a whole other issue. Most often, an issue with our own self."
-Glee's Dianna Agron (H/t: Towle)
You know, teens today are so lucky. Why back in my day, I had to use context clues to decide whether Gabrielle Carteris and Mark-Paul Gosselaar stood with my way of thinking. That is, if I wasn't too tired to think after having to walk to school ten miles, up hill, in the snow, barefoot.
