On Sunday, Chris Colfer, who plays Kurt on “Glee” won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a series, miniseries or television film. “Glee” certainly has its flaws, but Colfer’s Kurt is one of its brightest spots.
Colfer, who is openly gay and has spoken about how important it is for young LGBT folks to have representation in pop culture. He has been working with The Trevor Foundation for the last few months, especially since “Glee” started fleshing out the storyline about Kurt being bullied for being gay. Colfer used his acceptance speech as a chance to thank “Glee” viewers who are going through something similar:
Most importantly, to all the amazing kids who watch our show and who our show celebrates, who are constantly told “No” by the people in their environments, by bullies at school, that they can’t be who they are or have what they want because of who they are. Well, screw that, kids. Thank you.
