It wasn't about who I'm romantilly lked to, was more the fact that they chose to show that Karofsky has gone om this homophobic bully to now have accepted beg homosexula and beg out and fortable enough to be seen wh a man public, at a bar and a football game. It's a very flatterg thg that's not lost on 're playg a gay character another film, Sgatuck Cur, a edy that explor ex-gay therapy. It is a brilliant script wrten by Jay Pl Deratany alg wh fay valu and acceptance and tolerance as well as the hot topic of strong relig beliefs vers homosexualy and how that affects this fay's dynamics.
Although they do ed have their homosexualy mon, at the time I played Drew Sgatuck Cur, Dave wasn't really out and hadn't really accepted or clared his homosexualy to his fay and iends yet Glee. So while I was able to explore the very difficult time that wh beg a closeted homosexual high school wh Dave, was que different wh Drew bee he was already out to all of his iends and his entire fay and had accepted who he was long ago and fact, was even trated at the lack of great datg optns his town as he was ed searchg for the right man!
There are even plenty of shows and movi that al exclively wh gay, bisexual, or transgenr dividuals.
