Kurt Hummel was the first gay, lead, cast member. At the start of the series he was in the closet but he soon came out and became the only out-gay kid in William McKinley high school. He dresses very flamboyantly and creates his own style which lands him a job at Vogue in Season 4. Blaine Anderson was introduced in season 2 as Kurt's love interest, he was lead-singer of Dalton Academy Warbler's a show choir competing with Kurt's, Kurt transferred to Dalton after severe bullying from his sexuality but he transferred back to McKinley in late season 2, in season 3 Blaine also transferred to McKinley to see Kurt more. In season 4 the two broke up as Blaine cheated on Kurt, they did meet at Christmas however and slept together at Will and Emma's wedding, and by the end of season 4 it was revealed the Blaine wanted to propose to Kurt to show him he loved him and would never do anything so bad ever again.

Brittany is bisexual and was used by Santana for sexual reasons only as Santana only identified herself as straight, however, in season 2 Santana admitted she was in love with Brittany and wanted to be with her, Brittany at the time was already in a relationship with Artie but by season 3 Brittany and Santana were in a secret relationship. In season 3 Santana was still closeted but following an argument with Finn Hudson she was forced to come out of the closet, her parents and classmates were accepting but her abuela (grandmother) took the news very badly. Brittany and Santana broke up in season 4 but in season 5 they met again as the glee club was ending, after meeting each other they realised they still loved each other and decided to go away together, but Santana also bought Brittany a ticket back to New York so she could move in with her.

Wayne "Unique" Adams is a trans woman introduced in late season 3. She only feels comfortable in woman's clothing and in season 4 after being fed up that her show choir 'Vocal Adrenaline' at Carmel High was exploiting this fact she transferred to McKinley. She auditioned for the part of Rizzo in Grease but her parents didn't want her to as they were scared it would increase the amount of bullying she received for being herself, they also told her to only dress as a woman when she was at home or when performing in a competition.

Dani was introduced in season 5 as a love interest for Santana.

Starchild was introduced in season 5 as a member of Kurt's band Pamela Lansbury alongside Dani, Santana and Rachel Berry . Kurt felt threatened by Starchild but they soon made up which resulted as a source of jealousy to Blaine.

Adam was a love interest of Kurt's introduced in season 4, however, Kurt realised he was only with Adam to get over Blaine and so he ended it off-screen.

Quinn Fabray has a one-night stand with Santana Lopez in Season 4, Episode 14 entitled "I Do".

David Karofsky was the bully who forced Kurt to move schools in season 2, the source of Karofsky's bullying was from the fact he was confused with his own sexuality, this was shown when he tried to kiss Kurt following an argument. Karofsky didn't come out the closet and became Santana's beard in late season 2 in a plot to both make Brittany jealous and to convince Kurt to move back to McKinley. In season 3 Karofsky had transferred schools to avoid people finding out about his sexuality, but after meeting Kurt at a gay bar realised he had feelings for him and so became a secret admirer over Valentine's Day, however, Kurt rejected him as he was with Blaine. However, someone from Karofsky's new school saw the two together on Valentine's Day and he spread the truth of Karofsky's sexuality leading to him being bullied and subsequent attempted suicide.

Chandler Kiehl is a boy who Kurt met at a music store in season 3, the two bonded instantly and began texting, however, this caused Blaine to become extremely paranoid and jealous and so Kurt told Chandler that they couldn't talk anymore.
