KURT'S BACKSTORY:
Kurt Hummel is a member of Glee and a self-named fashion iconoclast with a flair for the dramatic. His mom died when he was six and he was raised by his single dad, a former high school and college football player who owns a garage. Both Kurt and his father have known that Kurt was gay since he was very young (five and three, respectively), but they never spoke about it until Episode 4, Preggers. Although he and his father don't have much in common, they have a close relationship and each is willing to sacrifice for the other. In the Glee Club, Kurt is famous for clashing with Rachel and singing extraordinarily high notes (for a male singer). His interests include starting a new "equestrian chic" fashion trend, and marketing his fragrance, "Hummel".

    Kurt's the kind of character that I despise on principle--campy, flamboyant, stereotypical--but I think 'Preggers' changed that for me. (And if he hadn't, Wheels certainly did.) The writers have done an amazing job developing his character in so few episodes. The strength, dignity, and compassion that he shows, particularly in Wheels, has made him my favorite character on the show. He's the very real, realistic personification of the stereotype.
