Even the set up of the room, it is not something most guys, esp most masculine guys would want. Let's be real. They eventually do go to a brother relationship, but that is not how it started. Kurt was interested in Finn. That itself was not the problem. What became the problem is he wanted to try to force Finn into something he didn't want. If you had to live in that situation everyday, it would bother you too.

Melissa Walker I'm not 100% sure what you meant, because it's not properly writen. But from what I understand, you're saying Finn is right and Burt wrong? Well, yeah, Finn is right in that Kurt is making him feel uncomfortable. And he was also right that it's not fair for their parents to make him share a room with Kurt (specially after he lived with a room for himself all his life) juste because they want to be together. You have to be very sensible when bringing two families together. But he was DEAD WRONG about how he chose to express his discomfort. So Burt's response is totally called for. How would you react if somone came into your house and started being hateful towards your child? He might not have been calling him a fag directly, but we all know he was aiming at him nonetheless. There's even hate in his voice when he says the word.

Just to be fair, while Finn had no right to say what he said, Kurt is not entirely innocent. He was constantly flirting with Finn. Constantly. You know why He wanted Burt and Carol to be together (at least in Season 1/at first)? Because he wanted to sleep in the same room with Finn, hoping eventually he would wear Finn down and Finn would want to do stuff with Kurt. Burt asks him that question, why did Kurt try to set him up with Carol and when he brings it up, Kurt does not deny about the fact it had to do with his attraction to Finn. If a guy tried to do what Kurt did to a girl, people would scream bloody murder. But because Kurt/Chris Colfer is a good looking guy, people find it adorable. Again, I am not justifying Finn, but, most people have a breaking point. It was awesome Burt stood up for his son, but it was also awesome the next season when he also pointed out how Kurt was also in the wrong too.

This scene has a history where Kurt already hit on Finn and afterwards Finn comes home to find his room like this. The beds being about 2 feet apart and a small wall between them. Just look at Kurt's whole demeanor how he undresses Finn with his eyes and speaks softly. Finn was feeling completely uncomfortable.

​@@JSmellerM I get that; I absolutely get that Finn was uncomfortable. I really don't think those two should've had to share a room. Kurt has hit on and did have a crush on Finn for a long time, and I would feel uncomfortable living in close proximity with someone who felt that way about me, too, especially if they were supposed to be my "sister". But Finn using slurs was highly uncalled for. He could've handled the situation better. I actually felt bad for Finn, too. He seemed so upset and uncomfortable by the lack of privacy, and the fact that he feels so uncomfortable he puts his underwear on IN THE SHOWER before he leaves. But I think that could've been communicated better and this entire fight could have been avoided. Finn is equally to blame in this specific scene, although I don't think he's a "bad guy".

I love the way kurt worries about his step brother, and puts his efforts to make a room that seems beautiful to him and Finn acted like an asshole.

[@pandahtoemateo3321]

This was very out of line for Finna, but Kurt wouldn't stop flirting with him and even wanted him to stay in the same room, change in front of each other, and sabotage Rachel to get closer with Finn. They were both out of line.

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

Stereotypes exist for a reason. Yes, not all homosexuals act or behave like this, but as a member of the 'gay community,' I can safely say that many do. It annoys me when people dismiss liking musical theater or classic Hollywood movies or frou-frou stuff as 'gay stereotypes.' There are many gays who like that stuff and sound like that. That said, I only have a problem with this stereotype when it becomes the ONLY stereotype shown on TV and in movies, because it gives impressionable and ignorant viewers the wrong idea that all gays are effeminate. They don't notice the so-called straight-acting gays, because they blend in with society.

[@thebeavpercabethftw9604]

Isn't Kurt's actor actually gay? So, wouldn't he object to it if it was such a terrible stereotype?

[@Siegfried1917]

Amy Erlanger yeah, Kurt is a very stereotypical gay character, but he is at the same time so much more than that. This show makes a perfect job showing how stereotypical behavior isn't a bad thing. It's bad when all the character is is his stereotypical behavior, but that isn't the case with Kurt.

Wow, I wasn't going to even click on this, but the moment I saw Burt step in, I couldn't stop myself. This is such an important scene! It makes me cry every time. That's the kind of unconditional love a parent needs to offer and the way we all should treat one another.

[@tiffanysamuels279]

Even though I love how overprotective that Kurt dad was being and everything he was saying was on point. I don't like the hate that Finn is getting because that type of attention is overwhelming and it's SEXUAL HARRASMENT, the fact that he doesn't feel comfortable changing in his own home isn't something to take lightly. He's been trying to spare Kurt feeling for too long. And even though Kurt is trying to act all coy, everything that Finn said was right on the money. Kurt is in love with Finn and his action the past first season was to get in his pants. So yay for Burt but Finn shouldn't get hate. I don't want hate towards kurt either because it's hard being gay when the mass majority of people are either straight, want you for only sex or in the closet. But he shouldn't get praise for making Finn uncomfortable in his own home.

I hurt so bad for Kurt in this scene. I know how painful unrequited love can be. I know how hard it is to feel attraction for someone that you know can never reciprocate your feelings. I know how hard it is to switch off an attraction even though you know what you want can never be. I fell for one of my coworkers once. He turned out to be gay. When I found out, it hurt. Because I knew that what I wanted could never be. Did it stop my attraction to him? No. It didn't. It took time for that to go away. Even though you know that your feelings for someone can't be reciprocated, it takes time for your heart to adjust to that. I learned to move on from it. But it took time.

“I wasn’t teaching him a lesson on acceptance. I was teaching myself. He just happened to be there for it.” -Burt later admitting that while his heart was in the right place, his actions weren’t completely justified either. But of course we in the fandom don’t talk about that part

[@johnrainsman6650]

What does that deep quote mean anyway? He was simply scolding Finn for using the slur

[@Book_Dragon2562]

@@johnrainsman6650 There was a whole larger issue that was happening at the time. Burt loved his son but he was still struggling with accepting his sexuality at that point. He was honest, and he was doing the work, but this moment was more about him than it was about Finn. It was about his own feelings, his own experiences. Finn was just a trigger for that floodgate. He was also unaware of what had been happening between Finn and Kurt all season. Kurt had been extremely inappropriate with Finn, repeatedly hitting on him, making him uncomfortable, not respecting his answer. Had he been straight and behaved this way he would have been condemned. But because he was gay, the fandom crucified Finn as not being “accepting” enough when he had every right to blow up at Kurt the way he did after an entire season of this behavior. His “intolerance” had less to do with Kurt being gay and more to do with Kurt harassing him. Later on, Burt finds out about this and goes off on Kurt (rightfully so) for not respecting Finn’s boundaries. But that clip never receives the same amount of views or support. The fandom pretends those moments (Burt calling out Kurt for his contribution to this moment, and Burt later admitting this speech was more about him and less about Finn because Finn was never actually intolerant or unaccepting) never happened. But they did and are *equally* important.
