Kilt to prom on Glee tonight in prime time!

[LeeAnne]

I think we need to separate the issue of what people think of gay men from what the writers thought is an appropriate storyline. So what was the writers' take on this? Here's my view: I think the writers chose the character to wear a kilt because he's gay. I don't think they chose the character to wear a kilt because he's manly.

If the storyline had been about any character paying homage to his Scottish roots, fine. Who'd have a problem with that? But that wasn't even vaguely the angle the writers were going for. To them, a kilt is just another riff on depicting way-out, flamboyant, quasi-drag, whatever. Ignorant, lazy and faintly offensive to Scots.

THAT'S what I have the problem with.
