Are Kurt and Blaine the Greatest TV Couple of All Time?
More than 150,000 EW.com readers recently voted to determine the Greatest TV Couple of All Time. Who won? Glee's Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson. OMGlee!
To put this gay win in perspective, Klaine beat out legendary TV pairings like Sex and the City's Carrie and Big, Gossip Girl's Blair and Chuck, and Ross and Rachel on Friends — not to mention the old-school married couples on classic shows like The Cosby Show and I Love Lucy.

I guess Luke & Laura are a distant memory.

A comment at the link sums up how I took the article.
Are more than 150,000 Entertainment Weekly (EW.com) readers on the mark for voting Glee's Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson ... "The Greatest TV Couple of All Time?" Who am I to say... "yay" or "nay?" What I can say as a card carrying "mo" since I was 16 ... (which was ages ago) ... is for all the "tweens and teens" who are realizing they are gay or lesbian... since Glee's "Kurt and Blaine"... came into our homes (thanks to Ryan Murphy) ... Kurt and Blaine showed these young people that it was okay to be themselves and if that meant to be gay or lesbian ... then "yes" without a doubt for them ... Kurt and Blaine are ... "The Greatest TV Couple of All Time"... for them and ... perhaps people like me ... who need(ed) visible role models to help them be okay with being gay or lesbian.
