Again, it's fine for you to say all that, I agree with you, but we have to live alongside the kind of shallow dickheads who eat up this crap. I haven't written in to the show for the reasons you said.
If a parent wants to take their child to rallies and marches they're the kind of parents who always would have, not the kind of parents who let Glee raise their kids. I know that it's weightless light entertainment and I don't care. What I do care about is that some dipshit kid who takes it seriously will walk away with the lesson that bisexuality isn't real, and that more dipshit kids will listen and perpetuate the attitude until one kid going through puberty and confusion about their sexuality winds up feeling isolated from their peers. Light entertainment intended to mollify dipshits shouldn't pretend to try and broach serious topics which they don't give a fuck about exploring in any real depth.
