Glee stars Darren Criss and Chris Colfer grace the new cover of Entertainment Weekly, which delivers a special report about gay teens on television.
EW talks with actors, producers, and activists to trace the history of gay teens on television and examine the current state of affairs, from Wilson Cruz's Rickie Vasquez on My So-called Life in 1994 to characters such as Kurt and Blaine on Glee today.
