After many years of speculatn, the te nature and orientatn of the relatnship between two of the entertament dtry's most prolific performers is fally known -- Same Street's Ernie and Bert are "jazz-hands gay. * jazz hands gay *

" borr="0" />Chris Colfier plays gay teen Kurt on the new seri GleeWhen to gay visibily on TV, 's hard to do worse than Fox's failg gra last year om GLAAD. Even better, Glee will add a new gay to the sperately bare ranks of gay teens wh the addn of fourteen-year-old Kurt, played by Chris more about Chris and Kurt after the jump! In dog so, he recs a group of misfs cludg hman Kurt, who isn't explicly intified as gay the pilot, but screams "gay" the way Bce Willis screams straight (at least the mds of your average Amerin who don't know there are plenty of gay men like Willis).

ERNIE AND BERT: "JAZZ-HANDS" GAY

I didn't fd that a very spic start (fashnable gay kid do drama and gets beat up by bulli? Murphy explaed that the seri' send episo would al explicly wh Kurt's beg gay and a later storyle would actually see Kurt beg a star on the football wh the Glee stIf I'm not mistaken, you have to go all the way back to Ricky Vasquez 1992's My So-Called Life to fd a such a young regular gay character on a mastram show the U.

S., but perhaps between Glee and and Showtime's gay teen on Uned Stat of Tara, we're about to fally start seeg some more realistic gay teen portrayals, the actor playg Kurt, is an eighteen-year-old om Clovis, California who did drama, was print of the wrer’s club, eded the school's lerary magaze and was both a speech and bate champn.

A dance move, charecterized by middle aged gay men yellg at you sequence or apanied by upbeat show mic.
