"Only on TV"? That's about the response I'd expect from Milo.
But I think it does say something that the character of Kurt on Glee is treated just about the same as all the other characters, at least on the handful of episodes I've seen. He's not the buffoon that Jack was on Will and Grace.
On one of the episodes that I saw, there was a lovely moment when Kurt, speaking for himself and Mercedes, said to Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) something like, "I'm gay, she's black. We create culture." ;D
Meanwhile, I'm sticking with Taylor Lautner. I have the same problem with Robert Pattinson that I had with Leo DiCaprio when he was younger: Looks too much like a girl. ;D

New York is the exception to almost everything.

Well, no. You don't have to be gay or black to create culture.

Be still your beating heart--or whatever!
