Discovery of Teen Sex Leads to Tragedy

The hit Fox show, “Glee”, is experiencing another round of controversy this week after airing an episode called “The First Time”, which, surprise, was about sex between teenagers.

The blind, deaf, and dumb Parents Television Council was, well, dumbfounded at the revelation that gay teenagers have sex.

“The fact that ‘Glee’ intends to… celebrate children having sex is reprehensible,” said the Council through a statement on Tuesday. “The gender of the high school characters involved is irrelevant.”

The Council would not comment on the sudden transformation of all high school students into children overnight. And at their convenience, even.

In addition, where was the almighty Council when heterosexual sex was implied in the first and second seasons of “Glee”? Emphasis on “implied”, as the 8 p.m. show has yet to feature on-screen sex between anyone.

Surprisingly, and maybe encouragingly, the Fox Network expressed no concern over the sexual subject matter regardless of the body part ownership.

It might be because of social politics, as the LGBT community had been hit with a rash of teen suicides over the last year. Many with fair minds find little fault with humane storylines, and, frankly, hot topics sell like hot cakes in writer and family rooms all across the country.

“Glee” co-creator Ryan Murphy couldn’t agree more, as his storytelling seems to have quite the pointed tip these days.

“I think what it says to a lot of young gay people who are confused and ashamed is that you can get love and are worthy of love,” said Murphy of the gay-centric stories within his show.

To backtrack, how explicit were these “sex scenes”? And did the homophobic PTC even care how old the actors are?

“If subsequent scenes didn’t make it implicit that the deed had been done, would anyone even guess that these two pairs of twenty-somethings portraying teenagers were meant to have had sex in these scenes?” said Kevin Farrell, a popular LGBT blogger. “Am I missing something here?”

And to sum it up, Damian Holbrook of “TV Guide” shares his frustration.

“Bet ya’ dollars to donuts nobody would have raged about ‘the message being sent to our young’ if the episode was solely about Finn and Rachel’s first time,” ranted Holbrook. “But throw in some action between two guys who love each other, took their time and acted responsibly and suddenly, boom go the puritans!”
