EW article about Kurt and Blaine of Glee (here)
Excerpts:
"It was telling that when Colfer took home a Golden Globe on Jan. 16 for his moving portrayal of a bullied teen, his tear-jerking acceptance speech ended with these words of encouragement to fans: “To all the amazing kids who watch our show…who are constantly told ‘No’…by bullies at school that they can’t be who they are… well, screw that, kids.” "
"Jason Galisatus, a 17-year-old student ambassador for GLSEN, would be the first to agree with Murphy. “I think that Kurt will become a historical figure in LGBT history,” says Galisatus. “My friends talk about the episode where he came out to his dad. We all talk about how amazing that is and how crazy it must be to live in a conservative, Midwestern community and be able to be open about your sexuality. That’s very inspiring to all of us, and we can say, ‘Well, hey, if Kurt can do it, why can’t we?’ "
"“They’re kind of like the Joanie and Chachi of our generation,” Colfer says."
