He is also kind of douchy to his Dad. I don't see how that is true at all. They have a tumultuous relationship at times but isn't that pretty common. But they CLEARLY love each other and fight would to the death for each other. Kurt blew the note on Defying Gravity on purpose because his dad was getting nasty phone calls. The gloves were OFF when Burt caught Finn saying "faggy".
They don't always get each other but I think they have one of the more solid and beliveable parent/teenager relationships on television. Teenagers are occasionally douchey to their parents but there is enough evidence to back up that there is also a mutual respect and admiration.
he plays a likable character but i think the only reason most ppl love him so much on this board is because he's gay I think he's relatable as is Mike O'Malley as Burt Hummel. As I started above I think their relationship is very true to life. And it goes further than "gay" and "straight". I'm sure anyone on this board can think back to their teenage years when they may have done or said something "douchey" to a parent only to do something really nice for them later. And vice versa. Sometimes the parents are the douchey ones. Just because you're a parent doesn't mean you suddenly became perfect.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
