The Future Looks Bright

I usually avoid spoilers, but when I saw a headline hinting at Glee's Kurt getting a boyfriend on the show, I had to know more!

Show creator Ryan Murphy gave Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello a hint of what the near future will hold for some of the characters, including Kurt Hummel, and it sounds fantastic:

“We just announced we’re doing a nationwide search for the season 2 cast, and [a boyfriend for Kurt is] one of the three roles that we’re adding. And we’re going to make them a power couple. We’re not going to do the whole hiding in the shadows thing. We’re going to make them popular, and out and proud and glamorous. Like prom king and king. We’re doing the opposite of what’s been done.”

How awesome does that sound? I can't wait to see this. We've come so far from the first gay teen who was a regular character in primetime! Jack McPhee's one kiss per season and barely there storylines were a mere decade ago on Dawson's Creek, but it seems light years away from the gay teen power couple we'll soon be watching on Glee.

The rest of Murphy's preview was pretty exciting, too, so check it out. I just wish we didn't have to wait until April for new episodes to begin airing.
