SERIOUSLY?! WTF? FINN GETS A FUCKING DEDICATION?

Can we kill everyone and make this the Brittana Show?
(snipped)
This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:
The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.
According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.
When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.
So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.

I know I’ve reblogged this picture already but

My Faith is Restored
Glee became one of my favorite shows since Season 1 because it was quirky and the music was great. Like most people I did not expect it to have a profound impact on my life. Back then I was still skating over the issue of my sexuality. Kurt’s story is beautiful. He refuses to deny who he is and his relationship with his father is nothing short of perfection. I admired how they portrayed bullying as something that is not to be taken lightly and when Karofsky kissed him my jaw was on the floor.
However my real connection to the story and character happened, you guessed it right, when Sexy aired. As much as I loved Kurt’s story I identified more with Santana’s storyline because unlike Kurt and like Santana I am terrified of the judgment. The whole loving your best friend scenario also happened to me. Until then I always thought that my struggle with my feelings for my own best friend was something that other people did not experience and therefore was something I was ashamed of, so when I saw the now famous Hurt Locker scene I was bawling my eyes out for 2 days. I even got sent home from work the following day because they all thought my allergies was acting out because of my puffy eyes. After that I have managed to come out to two of my best friends and the response has been favorable.
Like most other shows, Glee has it’s own hits and misses. You can’t please everybody, that’s a fact and although the first part of this season glossed over Santana and Brittany’s relationship, I still watched every episode because when continuity and storyline fall short there is always the music to look out for.
Before watching this week’s episode I made sure that my expectations were low. I did not want to get disappointed especially after Pretty Little Liars overwhelmed me with Emily and Maya a few weeks ago. I was thankful for work since it gave me an excuse to stay out of Tumblr a few days before the episode only checking the songs when it came out.
I’m happy that after watching Heart, the first thought that came into my mind was Glee is back. It reminded me why I watched it in the first place. There was plenty of funny scenes that made me laugh out loud. I know people have a lot of opinions about Sugar but I love her and Mercedes had me giggling like an idiot about Simon being the gay one among the apostles. Hiram and Leroy was refreshing and it finally made sense why Rachel is well, Rachel. I still don’t know what to feel about the whole engagement thing but I agree with the majority when I say JUST NO. Getting married at 18 is just plain stupid. And alas Karofsky managed to surprise me he second time around.
I know I’m biased but I was thrilled when Brittany finally found her voice again and unveiled Santana and Brittany’s infinite playlist (Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is one of my favorite movies, so double squeal at that scene). For what felt like a long time, I finally believe that they are a couple. For some the whole religion storyline seemed out of place but at least it gave us the most hilarious and candid discussion about the bible and it prompted Santana to buy a song for Brittany so everybody wins.
For the much anticipated party, I had to admit that I was waiting with bated breathe on when the actual kiss will happen and when it did I had the biggest smile on my face. I have to confess that the one thing that irks me about the show is how limited they show Brittany’s perspective on her relationship with Santana but when she leans in and closes the gap between their lips, doubts about her feelings for Santana flew off the window especially when she lets go of Santana’s hand to pull her closer.
So damn you Glee, you always manage to pull me back again just when I was starting to lose faith.
Is it weird that a campy show like Pretty Little Liars has managed to pull off a more sensitive portrayal of a lesbian character instead of a certain show *coughGleecough* that supposedly promotes equality. I still love Glee, don’t get me wrong but I find myself cringing at some parts nowadays. A far cry from the Sexy episode where I cried like and effing baby for the rest of the day.
So right now until they pull off another episode like Sexy or Rumours, I’d be half listening and half daydreaming.
Back to Shay Mitchell, I love how she owns the character and you could see the sincerity in her support for equal rights by her kick ass portrayal of Emily and I think the brilliant thing about is I don’t actually root for Maya, Samara or Paige to be with Emily, I just want Emily to be happy and of course not be stalked by A
Now excuse me while I watch the photo booth and movie theater kiss between Maya and Emily again and again..
Brittana dating is like the Higgs boson,
People have a lot of opinions about it, but no one’s actually seen it. Maybe someday the scientists at CERN will smash Glee scripts together at superhigh speeds and reveal to us what’s actually going on.

Some have suggested that gay rights and human rights are separate and distinct; but, in fact, they are one and the same. Now, of course, 60 years ago, the governments that drafted and passed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights were not thinking about how it applied to the LGBT community. They also weren’t thinking about how it applied to indigenous people or children or people with disabilities or other marginalized groups. Yet in the past 60 years, we have come to recognize that members of these groups are entitled to the full measure of dignity and rights, because, like all people, they share a common humanity.
This recognition did not occur all at once. It evolved over time. And as it did, we understood that we were honoring rights that people always had, rather than creating new or special rights for them. Like being a woman, like being a racial, religious, tribal, or ethnic minority, being LGBT does not make you less human. And that is why gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights.
