There’s a first time for everything. And on Tuesday night’s episode of “Glee,” viewers can expect two first times. Here’s KMSP with more.

“This time tomorrow we bet there will be a mini-controversy swirling over tonight’s episode of ‘Glee.’ Two team couples, Fin and Rachel and Kurt and Blaine, have sex. The actor who plays Kurt said he and the cast expect criticism, but stands by the episodes saying it’s handled responsibly.”

In fact Chris Colfer, who plays Kurt, told Entertainment Weekly the highly publicized sex scenes aren’t even all they are made up to be.

“I think it’s handled very sweetly and very emotionally…they’re expecting this big, raunchy, suggestive, brainwashing storyline when really it’s very sweet.”

Though this isn’t the first time the show has sparked controversy by tackling tough issues, the president of the Parents Television Council issued a statement expressing his outrage at this week’s newest episode.

“The fact that Glee intends to not only broadcast, but celebrate children having sex is reprehensible. The gender of the high school characters involved is irrelevant... Fox knows the show inherently attracts kids; celebrating teen sex constitutes gross recklessness.”

But a blogger for the Houston Press wonders if the characters’ sexual orientation does have something to do with the harsh criticism.

“There’s bound to be much outrage and gnashing of teeth over the prospect of two godless Sodomites doing the nasty on network TV. But I believe this to be an issue of unfamiliarity more than anything else. Maybe if those opposed to the idea were only as exposed to gay lovin' as they are the straight variety, it wouldn't be as offensive to them.”

On the American Family Association radio show, Kevin McCullough suggested the biggest problem he had with the storyline is that it’s still going to air during “family hour” when young teens are more likely to watch.

“Well friends, this isn’t an American Idol episode. This is a show with an agenda targeted to the heart of you teenager, trying to convince them of things bad for them and trying to tell them they’re good.”

But a writer for the Boston Herald says—don’t expect to see too much -- “there are more shots of fireplaces than anything else.” (Video source: Fox)

The episode, conveniently titled “First Time,” will air Tuesday at 8/7 central on Fox.
