Peter LaBarbera of Americans For Truth
About Homosexuality wants to know how many boys decided to go gay
after watching Darren Criss and Chris Colfer's characters on Glee
kiss.
Out-and-proud student Blaine Anderson,
played by Criss, and Kurt Hummel, played by Colfer, recently became
romantically involved on the Fox musical comedy. A kiss between the
choir boys sparked outrage among social conservatives; Saturday
Night Live
alum Victoria Jackson said the kiss “sickened” her.
During the Friday broadcast of his
radio show, LaBarbera suggested to his guest, Linda Harvey of Mission
America, that Glee was “promoting homosexuality to middle
school boys.”
“And then Hollywood, I talked about
at our conference about this Glee kiss which is just, as I
said at the conference, it shocked my soul,” LaBarbera said.
“This romantic Glee kiss
between two teenage boys depicted on the show, popular characters,
one of the most popular if not the most popular TV show that young
people watch, and here they had a romantic kiss between two teenage
boys, I thought, what, how many young men and boys decided right
there that they're gay?”
