Glee

I believe that Smith's gave Glee a little too much thought in his article. Glee is a show like any other in that its goal is to retain viewers and provide entertainment. The difference that Glee holds is that it deals with sensitive subjects. Any time a sensitive subject is brought up, someone is going to find the negative aspects to it. However, I think that this episode of Glee portrayed disabilities in a positive lights. I do not watch Glee and that was the first time I caught even the slightest glimpse of what the show is about. From what I saw, it's a form of entertainment that brings controversial issues to a different light. It seems that while it provides entertainment, it also attempts to loosen tension about subjects and see positive aspects of these subjects. As for the term crip drag, I think a more respectable term could be used but in the end it's a term that describes the role. I see no problem with actors or actresses without a disability playing the role of someone with one. It takes a very talented person to pull certain disability roles off. As long as the person plays that role with respect and sensitivity. It's television and the best actor or actress for any part should be selected regardless of if they have a disability or not.
