Final Thoughts
Kurt is a TV character that I do not care for. He is not manly, he's manipulative, and creepily stalks others. Now that bully, Dave Karofsky, Meeeooooow... he turns me on.
The key point that the gay mafia is missing is that I would never advocate violence against a real person. That would be wrong. If I saw a "Dave Karofsky" beating up a "Kurt Hummel", I would intervene and kick Dave's ass.
It is interesting that the gay mafia are not creeped out by Kurt. All those crocodile tears were shed so he could spend his dying Dad's Honeymoon money to stalk yet another handsome guy. Is this your hero? Really?! Really?!
I would like to thank all of the people who are privately emailing me with support. Thank you. Let them belt me with their Louis Vuitton man purses while they sing their show tunes. I am still standing.... bloodied... but still standing.
The real reason I have upset people is because they themselves feel insecure about the amount of sugar and twinkle in themselves. That is what this is really all about. I GET IT.
What I also get is WHY certain people have taken great pleasure in giving me a swift upper cut. You've been wanting to do that for years, haven't you? I GET IT. Fine. Get your licks in while the getting is good.
It has been nice to see friends, frenemies, and haters actually have strong opinions on this matter. WOW. Beneath all those air-headed tweets, whimsical Facebook status updates and Kylie blaring in the background... you CAN get fired up about something!
As one General to another... "Good Job".

Are you sure your a Gemini?
YES. I am very much a Gemini... AND a real twin. Why?
As a fellow twin and Taurus (we were a month premature and are more akin to the Gemini) I salute you Brett. Right on man. Love your blog, your opinions and your sexy accent. Keep running.
Dramatic much?
I completely agree with you on the whole Karofsky/Hummel issue. On all your points. And I've been known to sparkle from time to time even without a Louis Vuitton.
>>I would never advocate violence against a real person.<<
Really?
When I rewatched your video, one of the key points you made was this:
"If the bully Dave Kaworksy [sic] would come up to me and push me, I would push his ass back...I'd give him a right, and give him a left... I'd put him on his knees and say 'Yeah, you gonna suck me bitch'... Yeah, that's what I would do".
So, assuming (per this post) you REALLY meant if you were on a TV show, dealing with a TV character... you would refuse to follow the script, disrupt filming, hit another actor.... riiiiiiiiiight.
It's clear from the "Rebuttal" post that you meant this is what you (think) would do in real life. Now that virtually everyone willing to stand up publicly and give his opinion has pointed out that you're just flat WRONG, you can't back up and pretend (ha ha) that it was all talking about a TV character. If it was really just about a TV character, Brett, it wouldn't bother you this much and you'd change the channel because you don't like the show.
Note that we're not all defending everything the Kurt character has done -far from it. But while "Kurt" has made some mistakes in his young life, he's mostly just trying to be himself in a world full of assholes like you who don't want him to, and who are willing to encourage others to beat him up to teach him a lesson in "being manly." You, on the other hand, are 40 years old and should know better.
And of course, as always, you manage to turn this into "Oh, poor me, they're picking on me because they've always wanted to knock me down" instead of realizing what people are telling you: You are a bigot with issues. The crowning joke, of course, is your thought that the reason WE'RE upset is that we're "insecure about the amount of sugar and twinkle" in ourselves.
If WE were the insecure ones, like your idol the closet case Karofsky, we wouldn't be championing Kurt's right to be himself. We'd be, like Karofsky, taking every chance we could to slam Kurt, literally or figuratively.
And which one of us is doing that? Who's the insecure one?
Hey, Kevin... you never returned my phone call. I left you a message. Did you crap in your pants or something? I am just curious.
I've never seen the GLEE show so I'm not one to comment about the characters. I didn't; however, know you were a twin. For those of is who don't care about this 'glee' phenomenon....could you post a picture of him so we can compare? Also....what us the possibility of a ' Cajun sandwich happening? Is he on the ' team '? Just askin'
How can you claim to know the "real reason" why people are upset with you. Maybe it's because what you said was offensive, not because of any of their own issues. The prevalent theme throughout your Kurt posts is that you know what's right and what Kurt should do, even though you haven't been in his position. Also, that you have no sympathy or empathy for any gay who doesn't act the way you act.
You should stick to posting pictures of yourself in various states of undress. Every time you try to address a serious matter of politics or culture, you make a buffoon of yourself. Strip down and shut up.
Why don't you strip down Ted? Show us what you got... OH YEAH... nevermind.
So...I kinda missed the last round of postings and feel I need to clarify some specific things. Not to save face per se, but to clarify my stand on how I see Glee the show verses how I view the world, and thankfully Glee is not my world.
I do indeed find Kurt creepy and a little stalkerish, however I doubt I wouldn't talk to him on the basis of his flamboyance. I would probably not want to talk to him after learning of his personality traits (character arc?), and am far more drawn to the physicality of karofsky though I probably wouldn't talk to him either because of his.
That said, anyone and everyone has the choice to sparkle like the fourth of July or to don the cloak of masculinity. It's the best ting we have as living beings, that choice.
I just felt the need to reiterate some of the comments I left on Moby's blog on yours, because you sir have pissed me off that much. I felt the need to let your reader's, not Moby's, know how much you have fucking pissed me off. Honestly, the rage and fired up feeling I've got inside of me right now is usually in response to stupid red neck deep south republican christians. So that should tell you something about yourself and your post! (By the way, I was born and raised in Virginia, so I know something about what I talk of!)
First of all, in spite of your current post, no you still don't get it. You've managed to try and make Kurt the evil horrible person in order to make yourself look better. Bravo, you've mastered the art of politics. Some people however don't believe everything they see on smear tactic commercials. So make Kurt to be the evil queen all you want, it still doesn't mean you are the fairest of them all.
Unlike you, I am not a huge muscle guy that can pass for straight in any way shape or being. I was called a faggot from 3rd grade on. Your advice for me, based on your advice for Kurt, was to work out and beat up my bullies. I am a small guy, no matter how much I ever work out, I'll never be a big guy who can beat up bullies. Frankly while I'm not as girly as Kurt, I'll likewise never be able to convince someone I'm straight. My guess is you've never had that problem. Lucky you, but at the same time it probably puts you in a position many gays never had to be in.
Your problem with Kurt is your problem and your inability to accept anyone that you don't see as fitting into your idea as manly. Don't put it on your readers as their issue with not being able to accept that certain amount of "sparkle" in them. I know who I am. I accept who I am. I accept others who are different than me. You clearly cannot, and that makes you no better than the people who beat us up and bully us. You said it yourself, you'd be ashamed to be in public with someone like Kurt, let alone bring them home. Honestly, I wonder if you'd be comfortable being with another man outside of the gay comfort zone you've built for yourself. Everything you have posted lately has reiterated the homophobic conservative stance of "Hey I don't mind that your gay, just keep it in the privacy of your bedroom and don't rub it in my face." Fuck that! I will sparkle, I will hold hands, and I will kiss my boyfriend wherever and whenever I want. If that makes you or anyone else uncomfortable, they can go fuck themselves with something sharp and rusty.
It seems when people respond to you, like Kevin or Ted, all you do is insult them back. Well tit for tat, I've given you some insults in this post. So please, insult me back, nothing you can say I haven't ever heard I'm sure. But know this, I'm posting with my REAL name. On my blog, I use my REAL name. Anyone can google me and find out all about me. I don't hide under pseudonyms like many bloggers. Hell my own mother reads and comments on my big fucking gay blog. So know when you are gunna be a snarky little bitch to me, your doing it to my real name under your pen name.
So, are you one of those Professional gays Dustin? Are you GAY GAY GAY all the time? Do you rainbow flag your whole house and car? Is your whole life consumed by your pride of being gay? I am thinking that is exactly who you are.
I came out to all of my co-workers AND my family at the age of 27. It was the happiest moment of my life. My mother even said that to this day that she had never seen me so happy. And that has helped her accept my sexuality.
Being gay is a part of who I am... but not all consuming and everything.
"Frankly while I'm not as girly as Kurt, I'll likewise never be able to convince someone I'm straight."
What the fuck? Are we perpetuating a stereotype here? Just because you're overly effeminate doesn't mean you're gay. (Don't ya know that if you're gay you're supposed to be a nellie atheist socialist extremist democrat living on a coast and watch only TV shows like Project Runway?)
Ever notice that the worst "flamers" usually are the nastiest backstabbing queers you know? Just stating the facts ma'am (It's a line from Dragnet). Psychologists postulate it's because they take what they perceive as bad characteristics of women and exaggerate them.
I've never seen the show Glee (and probably never will), but when I think of people I know like the character you describe as "Kurt", I sometimes "feel" like punching them. Blah, blah, blah....I know, but I don't, I just feel like it. If anyone says they never get annoyed enough by a person to "feel" like hurting them physically is lying. Maybe "Kurt" should just drop out; it's not like he'll ever get a job that requires education.
There are some of us who actually excelled playing varsity sports in high school (and we never broke out in a dance number during competition).
As for some of the comments left here....So many of the commenters are such hypocrites. I would call them out, but they get so nasty when you do. Screw 'em. Like the song says, "I am what I am".
All the characters on Glee have serious flaws and deserve to learn a lesson.
As much as I like, enjoy and participate in the leather community, I am offended when these men bring their fetish (some say way of life) into the grocery store or other parts of every day life. I do expect to see them at fairs, events, clubs or parades.
The big difference here is that effeminate men are born that way while leather is a choice. And lets be real, once you or anyone comes out of the closet, how we conduct ourselves relaxes.
Bye bye Brett; No more attention from me. I know that this is why you're keeping this going, but you will lose followers/readers/friends because of it.
Count me as #1 follower you lost.
No I am not a professional gay. It does not consume me. It is a part of me I will not hide or deny, but it is just one part of me. However having been where Kurt is, having been threatened and bullied every day in highschool, your post just pissed me off as it came from a fellow gay. Then you trying to Make Kurt the bad guy just poured salt in the wounds.
Jeff,
You can call me out all you want. Honestly though, in real life I'm the quiet shy type, and a very nice person. I am not one of those "flaming back stabbing queens." However when pushed, yes I finally do open my mouth and I can get nasty :) This whole Kurt debacle has stirred me up and made me angry because I never expected this from another gay guy. And like I said, some of us lived Kurt's experience all through high school, so it does stir up old wounds.
Jeff,
I honestly thought I'd never read a bigger crock of shit here than Brett's latest string of posts, but yours takes the prize. Drop the psycho-babble shit.
I know effeminate straight men who play contact sports, and I know butch straight men who do needlework. (Remember Rosey Grier? Probably not, but look him up some day.)
Yes, I get annoyed with people and want to punch them sometimes. But I limit that to people *doing something that affects me* - people driving slowly in the left lane, people who let their dogs crap in my yard, people who leave packaged meat and other perishables on the dry goods aisles in grocery stores.
When the issue is how they appear or their mannerisms, I don't think violent thoughts for the simple reason that I see no reason to get mad about something that doesn't affect me. You (and Brett) apparently see effeminate guys and for some reason, want to hit them (even if you don't). Why don't you try some of that fancy psychobabble crap and figure that one out - could it possibly be that you're bothered because you resent, deep inside, that YOU can't be so carefree and unconcerned about what other people think?
One last note on this post, Brett, because we didn't get to watch Glee from last week until last night, so I didn't get the reference about spending his dad's money. (His father, by the way, is NOT dying still; he had a heart attack and has recovered.)
Kurt's dad didn't take his honeymoon money and give it to Kurt to chase another boy. He and his stepmother chose to spend the money to send him to a school where he would be SAFE from assholes like you who would beat him up or worse.
Dude you are a wisper away from being Kurt...you swish more than curtains next to an air vent. You are far more girlie than burlie
I've said it before and I'll say it again... Kurt really disappointed me by turning tail and running to a "safe" school and turning his back on his friends.
He HAD a safety net at his old school and he chose to discard it.
He chose the pussy way out.
Meh.
