abstract="Adolescents often bring popular culture into school, but often these literacies are not embraced or taught in the English classroom. The author makes the case for using &quot;Glee&quot; in the classroom by demonstrating its persuasive power to disrupt heteronormative notions of gender and sexuality with teens. The author uses a feminist rhetorical analysis, rooted in Judith Butler's notions of gender performativity, and parody as a subversive tool, to closely examine the characters, actions, and dialogue in one LGBT-themed &quot;Glee&quot; episode. The article concludes with implications for teachers, LGBT youth, and non-LGBT youth and offers recommendations for using &quot;Glee&quot; to discuss bullying, stereotyping, and marginalization through media literacy practices. As people become more accepting of marginalized groups, the article asserts that schools need to mirror those changes within classroom walls.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
