My father went on to describe how Kurt, one of the gay characters on the show, conforms to the gay stereotype of being elegant and having feminine qualities. Both Kevin and Kaitlin had similar responses to what my dad said; however, Kaitlin had more specific points to discuss in the heteronormative and stereotypical portrayals of Kurt and his relationship with Blaine, another gay character on the show. She said that "Blaine seems to be the man in the relationship and Kurt seems to be the ladies' man" (Kaitlin). This statement from Kaitlin also suggests that it is normal, even if it is a same-sex couple, to distinguish who plays the female role and who is the man in the relationship. Additionally, she said she was sure Kurt was gay, even before the show directly identified Kurt's sexual orientation, because "he is shown as too flamboyant and also has feminine qualities, like his high-pitched voice".”
