Thank you for bringing this up. I really HATE the "I'm not homophobic, I have gay friends" arguement.

You mean it doesn't hold water with you either?

Nope. I also can't stand the "I'm not homophobic I just don't support their lifestyle" arguement. These people seriously need to hear themselves SPEAK because they're walking contradictions.

I'm not homophobic, it's just not anyone else's business... they shouldn't be trying to force their lifestyle on me.

Because Gay Marriage = noncon in someone's head.

I love this. Probably because I loathe Will and this is just so spot on. God, you've really got the perfect Will head voice, my friend. Excellent work, dear! :)

Thanks!

Haha, I had a feeling you'd say that. I mean it with love. I remember feeling a strange mixture of self-hatred and pride when people told me I wrote the perfect Sue. O.O

I'm afraid to try writing Sue.

OTOH, I never thought I'd try writing Will. I think the thing that bugs me with Will is that they keep trying to pull him off as a character we're supposed to like. And I.Just.Can't.

Wow. This is powerful.
I really don't like Will. haha. I really like the way this addresses his issues, because he has issues. And needs to up his game as a teacher. Seriously.

Beautiful work. x

Will is probably my least favorite character on the show. I have absolutely no love for the man. And he has lots and lots of issues. More than just homophobia, which I've only seen bits and pieces of, and may or may not be in my imagination. As a teacher, I want to hurt the man at times.

Couldn't agree with you more. He screws those kids around so much. And is just generally a massive douche, all the time.
Him kicking Santana out? and yelling at Quinn and lkjsfnbabdn;ldfas I hate him. haha

Yeah the him kicking Santana out when she was doing something Sue made her do, but not say anything to Rachel and Finn for being the reason ND lost Nationals?

He's an arsehole.

This was such an uncomfortable read, but it was really well done. I can easily see Will thinking along these lines :/

Will is a scary, scary man. Mostly because, unlike Sue, who says exactly what she's thinking, Will says and does one thing while thinking another. He's the type of person who goes through life showing you what he thinks you want to see. It's uncomfortable because even if canon!Will isn't this way, and we really don't know, because while he's shown hints of this, at least towards Kurt (B/B and Wheels come to mind), he never actually shows outright what's going through his head.

We all know people like this. They're the people that come into our lives with a fake smile plastered on to their face, telling us what they think we want to know. At the same time they undercut us and backstab us. It doesn't have to be homophobia or some other big thing, but we all know them.

wow this was great!!! and i never really liked will that much. its gotten a bit better since the end of season 2 but i still havent got much respect for him. this just portrays his idiocy and naivety well. i really want to know what everyone else is thinking during all this idiocy lol. also i would love if you had someone realize how homophobic he really is and force him to get some help lol.
but anyways this was so spot on!!! LOOOOVE it!! poor kurt though. makes me feel bad for him cuz glee is supposed to be his safe haven at school away from the homophobes :P

Thanks.

Doubt there'll be anything else in this 'verse. Just a quick character study. And nothing is being done overtly. Plus, Kurt has Blaine. ;)

true it was just a passing though :P lol and i do like this ^_^ also i thought i would make a mention of this fic http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6513888/1/Heartbreak as your story makes me think of this fic. there is a prequel called safe but this can be read on its own. it makes me remember your fic and how naive and homophobic Will is. its like your fic adds to it XD
