Who died and made you Queen of the Gays?
There are many things in this world that annoy me, I will freely admit to that as if it wasn't blatantly obvious from the start. I commonly proclaim that my biggest pet-peeve is "voluntary ignorance" and I'm sure that anyone reading this blog has already come to the conclusion that I don't deal well with bigotry or hatred either. However one thing that I haven't voiced here yet is my extensive dislike of those deny other people their own creativity or artistic process.

I'm not talking about crazy things, I'm not talking about when people from backwoods Louisiana say they need to hang dead goats from their door or kill the neighbors cat in order to work their craft, I'm just talking normal stuff. I'm talking people who write books or tv shows or movies and then find themselves bombarded with hatred because of how they decided to write something out.

Today I am talking about this because I have recently located an article in a gay rights blog about how terrible Ryan Murphy, the creator of Glee, is for supposedly scrapping the plotline for the next season in which Kurt, the openly gay character, finds a boyfriend. Now, I can agree that this is a disappointment. I would love to see the boy find a lover and I would love to see the show push even farther the boundaries of comfort, showing what it's really like to be a gay highschool student in the United States, however that is not the end all, be all of the show.

I wouldn't mind if people were just whining about how they really want to see two boys get together on the show, quite frankly I'd love to do a little bit to Kurt myself, but that's not what's happening. What's happening is people heard of the change of plan (mind you all plans are/were strictly in the "we don't know yet but here's what we're thinking" phase at the moment) and threw a piss-fit in which they proclaimed the author to be an idiot and evil and obviously having no sense of what direction the show should go in. In response to that I would like to point out one thing...IT'S HIS SHOW!

I'm so tired of people bitching about authors and writers doing the wrong thing on shows and in books as if the public gets to decide what happens next. I'm sorry public, but as a writer I'm very adamant about the point that every writer has the right to do whatever he wants in his works. If he wanted to kill off the choir director and replace him with a small chihuahua next season I wouldn't be thrilled, but I would accept that it's his right to do whatever he wants with the show and everyone else should shut the hell up.

So all in all...Shut up...and let the man get on with his work, when you make it big on TV then you can complain if your show isn't going in the direction you want it to...but not before then.
