Parent Group Slams 'Glee' For Teenage Sex

Entertainment Weekly:

A parents group has come out swinging against teen sex on tonight's Glee.

The conservative watchdogs at the Parents Television Council slammed the show for the episode in which two young couples -- one straight, one gay -- have sex for the first time. The organization says its objection has nothing to do with the gender of the characters, just their ages.

Why do these people insist we live in an Ozzy and Harriet world? Glee just depicted something that actually happens...teens having sex. I lost my virginity at 15 (I'm 32 now), I know that was to young, but it happened, and at least it was with someone I loved and ended up having a four year relationship with. My first time was sweet.

i hate to break it to these people, but sex is real and teenagers have it. they can try to hide this fact from their own kids as much as they want; it won't change it, and it doesn't give them the right to try to hide it from my, or anybody else's, kids.

I have no problem with the way the producers of Glee are approaching this subject. This is what happens in High Schools all over the planet. Kids are being educated in schools, churchs and I hope at home where responsible parents should be taking the lead. Its better that they engage in sexual activity and be armed with the appropriate safe guards than what was happening in the free love era when STDs where running rampant.

Another case pitting reality against fantasy and control.

I prefer reality as every rock I've ever tripped over is real. I had too much control in my youth and time in the Army to ever allow others to do so again unless I agree to it.

My goodness, do these people like anything or anybody? They have way too much time on their hands. If they don't want their kids to watch the Glee episode, then change the channel. I'm tired of these wacko groups trying to make decisions for everyone in the free world. One minute they're fighting with an ice cream company, the next minute they're fighting with a network. They need to parent their own kids and leave other people's kids alone. When you try to hide things from children and make it taboo, it sometimes backfires...a lot of the time, this only makes kids want to know more and do more of what you're finding objectionable.
