A Mom Blogs about Her Son's Crush on 'Glee's' Blaine


On the blog "And This is My Blog...", a mother writes about her son's crush on the cute cast member of 'Glee':
My oldest son is six years old and in love for the first time. He is in love with Blaine from Glee.


For those who don’t know Blaine is a boy…a gay boy, the boyfriend of one of the main characters, Kurt.


This isn’t a ‘he thinks Blaine is really cool’ kind of love. It is a mooning at a picture of Blaine’s face for a half hour followed by a wistful “He’s so pretty” kind of love.


He loves the episode where two boys kiss. My son will call people in from other parts of the house to make sure they don’t miss his ‘favorite part.’ He’s been known to rewind it and watch it over again…and force other to, as well, if he doesn’t think people have been paying enough attention.


This infatuation doesn’t bother me or his father. We live in a very hip-liberal neighborhood, many of our friends are gay, and idea of having a gay son isn’t something that bothers either of us. Our son is going to be who he is, and it is our job to love him. End of story.


He is also six. Six year olds get obsessed with all kinds of things. This might not mean anything at all. We always joke that he’s either gay, or we have the best blackmail material in the history of mankind when he’s a 16 year old straight boy. (Take that naked bath time pictures!)


Then the other day we were traveling across the state listening to the Warblers album (of course), and in the middle of Candles, my son pipes up from the back seat.


“Mommy, Kurt and Blaine are boyfriends.”


“Yes, they are,” I affirm.


“They don’t like kissing girls. They just kiss boys.”


“That’s true.”


“Mommy, they are just like me.”


“That’s great, baby. You know I love you no matter what?”


“I know…” I could hear him rolling his eyes at me.
Wow, you go mom!

I too knew I was gay from an early age. I had a huge crush on Quentin Collins from Dark Shadows. I never been with a woman only men and this story touched on something.
