Last
night’s episode of the popular Fox comedy “Glee” featured two couples –
the heterosexual Finn and Rachel and the homosexual Kurt and Blaine –
losing their virginity. The episode sparked controversy even before it
hit the air. EW’s PopWatch described the episode, titled “The First
Time,” as “incredibly moving” and said the sex scenes were “handled very
delicately.” But television watchdog group the Parents Television
Council is outraged by the controversial storyline and what it says is a
“celebration” of teen sex. “The fact that ‘Glee’ intends to not only
broadcast, but celebrate children having sex is reprehensible. The
gender of the high school characters involved is irrelevant. Teen sex is
now more prevalent on TV than adult sex and ‘Glee’ is only playing into
that trend,” PTC President Tim said.
