I want to start this review by saying I am a huge fan of this show. I have loved it from day one and watch it religiously. Now onto the finale.
Cut to the part that made me sick! Jude & his 'friend' (who happens to be a girl) Taylor. Jude needs consoling and yay his friend Taylor is there, but (and it's a BIG but) Jude tells her that he's 'not sure' if he is gay anymore and that he's never kissed a girl before.
I'm sorry are you friggen kidding me!
This show has pushed so many barriers (its one of the reasons I love it so much) one of them is having a young poster-boy gay character in the show. This is fantastic for all the juniors that are gay in high school to look up to. Yay right? Well apparently not for the fosters as they now seem to be shoving that to the side ("Oooh bye-bye, see ya, we're over that now, it was just a phase) and having him question being straight.
Now OK, I get that kids explore their sexuality so before anyone hounds me with 'what the hell man? he's young he's allowed to do that' I'm not saying he can't, but what I am saying is: This is the only kid in the whole show that is gay, his kiss with Connor pushed through so many barriers, the show revolutionized age-brackets with gay characters, all for what? To say: OK, we're done with that now?! Sorry, but just no. Jude is the only gay character, let him stay gay, for Pete's sake.
It took how many seasons for him to FINALLY kiss Connor? And what? Now because it's not PC they have to change his sexuality after young people have grown to idolize his character? Ummmm no! Just...no!
Anyway so there is more that happened and feel free to watch for more. But really for me 5/10.
