"Glee" is once again under attack after Tuesday's 90 minute episode, which addressed gay bullying. A prominent theme throughout the show's two seasons, gay bullying became more prevalent after a lead quarterback threatened Kurt and prompted his move to another, more tolerant school.

Dan Gainor, vice president for business and culture at the Media Research Center, heavily criticized the episode for its support of gay rights. 

"This is Ryan Murphy's latest depraved initiative to promote his gay agenda," he blasted to ABCNews.com. "This is clearly [the creator's] vision of what growing up should be, not most of America's," the very conservative critic boasted. "It's a high school most parents would not want to send their kids to." 

Gainor called the William Mckinley high school "the gayest school in the history of mankind," and this is not the first time he's shown disgust about some of the show's gay subject matter. 

He was also critical of the show after Naya Rivera (Santana) and Heather Morris (Brittany) make out, calling it "a disgusting gay teen sex romp."

"Glee" has been a subject of controversy recently, as former SNL player Victoria Justice also went on a rampage calling the Kurt-Blain liplock "sickening."
