It should come as no surprise that I love Glee. I mean, come on. It’s the gayest fucking show on television. PLUS! Singing! And it’s fuckin’ funny, man! But there was one joke (very subtle, very sly joke), one reference (very subtle, very sly reference) that I really loved, because it reflected me.
Before you watch this, here’s the relevant information: Brittany is the blonde cheerleader. Santana is the brunette cheerleader. And this reference was quick and subtle… in fact, I didn’t even catch it the first time I saw it. I didn’t even catch it until I read this post!
For those that didn’t catch that, apparently Brittany and Santana are having sex. With each other.
Mmm hmm. Those reactions said it all. My favorite part? That none of the others even reacted to it. NBD. And in Naya Rivera’s new Maxim interview (good lord, how hot IS SHE? *swoon*), she confirms that that’s exactly what’s up:
The whole relationship between Santana and her sidekick, Brittany, is hilarious. In the last episode before we went to break, I said, “Sex is not dating,” and Brittany says, “If it were, Santana and I would be dating.” I asked director, Brad Falchuk, “Are we doing this because she doesn’t know what sex means, or did we in fact hook up?” He said, “Oh, no, you hooked up!” I was like, “OK!”
So, why do I love this little nod so much? Because, when I was in high school, I was hooking up with one of the other cheerleaders. We didn’t do much, just some making out and fondling, but it was my first experience of any kind of a female. There were a lot of rumors about me when I was in high school… namely, that I’d fucked half the football team (this was untrue. In fact, I never fucked a single member of the football team). Can you imagine if they’d have know that it was actually one of the cheerleaders that I was hooking up with? It’s like the start of every bad porn movie you’ve ever seen– Horny Lezbo Cheerleaders 4 (except in that one, the football player walks in, and suddenly, the lesbo cheerleaders are really into his cock)!
And, the summer after my freshman year of college, I had my first sex with a female. A teacher at my high school. While my brother was in her class. And would tell me all the time about the “crazy hot teacher” that he had. If only he knew!
So, thank you, Glee, for making me nostalgic for high school, and for being so FUCKING gay, in such a normal and nonchalant way.

I don’t watch the show, but that was a great clip. That half second pause is all that’s needed to pick up on that little remark! Oh, the look on everyone’s faces.
