Chris Colfer, who plays gay student
Kurt Hummel on the Fox musical-comedy Glee, has said the
show's gay characters kiss less frequently than their straight
counterparts because gay high school students in general are less
likely to show such affection.
Colfer was asked for his take on the
lack of PDA between the show's gay couples during Fox's TCA All-Star
party.
“Actually I don't think I've
noticed,” Colfer told eonline.com.
“I feel like people get mad at that, but I mean you really have to
look at how high schools are these days. Gay couples aren't as
comfortable showing PDA, especially in the middle of Ohio. I feel
like when people get in [an] uproar about this it's really kind of
unfair because the show is trying to portray it as realistically as
possible. Don't forget, this is the show where they had the two guys
lose their virginity to each other. I mean, that's big. Let's focus
on the progress that has been made and not the exact tally please.”
Glee returns for a fourth season
in September.
