Line 576:
* [[No Accounting for Taste]]: Will and Terri.
* [[No Bisexuals]]:
** Possibly averted with Brittany, though the show often seems to not take bisexuality seriously. Brittany has never officially declared herself bisexual; in fact, the show seems to be taking pains to avoid the word, instead using more ambiguous words like "bicurious" or "fluid" to describe Brittany's sexuality, words that leave plenty of room for a [[Hand Wave]] that she is straight/lesbian. Add that to [[Word of Gay]] declaring that [https://web.archive.org/web/20110320140730/http://www.afterellen.com/TV/2011/03/ryan-murphy-says-santana-is-a-lesbian Santana is a lesbian] rather than bisexual, despite her frequent sex with boys and possessiveness of Puck through the first two seasons, and Ryan Murphy's apparent belief that [http://www.afterelton.com/TV/2011/02/glee-ryan-murphy-blaine-gay-not-bisexual?page=1 bisexual kids don't need TV role models the way gay kids do], and you can see why many fans predict Brittany's sexuality will wind up being either gay or straight. Even if Brittany has never used the word "bisexual" to describe herself though; she admitted to Santana in "Sexy" that she has feelings for both her and Artie. And she is listed as "bisexual" in the fall 2011 GLAAD report, which takes its information from the networks and show creators.
** Then there's "Blame it on the Alcohol", which raised some worries about the show being biphobic because Blaine wonder if he is bisexual, causing Kurt to make some bigoted comments and tell him that "Bisexual is a term that gay guys in high school use when they want to [...] feel like a normal person for a change." Blaine ''does'' call him out on the hypocrisy, but then Kurt's comments are confirmed [[Status Quo Is God|at the end of the episode when Blaine realizes that he is only attracted to boys.]] This came right on the heels of a Ryan Murphy comment that Blaine was definitely gay rather than bi because "kids need to see he's one of them" - as though bisexuals don't contend with the same problems as the rest of the queer community - which certainly doesn't help with the [[Unfortunate Implications]].
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Tammy Jean Albertson is a blatant [[Expy]] of some modern conservative politicians (mainly [[Sarah Palin]] and Christine "I'm not a witch" O'Donnell). Made even funnier as she's played by Kathy Griffin.
