I agree with your complaints (especially the way that they can't think of any interesting plots to give to the non-white characters... seriously?), but I do think it's better than most shows, and I think it's done a lot to help with LGBT acceptance (by virtue of its mainstream-ness and the way it tackles tons of issues). For example, a lot of people hated the episode where Finn outed Santana, but I thought it was good because it showed people in the audience (who may be as clueless and well-meaning as Finn) that knowing and accepting someone's sexuality doesn't mean you have permission to spread that information around. It's a way for viewers to learn from other people's mistakes without anyone in real life getting hurt.

It does bother me the way they handle bisexuality, though...

But didn't the show follow that episode up with a storyline where Santana ultimately accepted that the outing was in her best interest?

No?

Yup. She thanked him and everything. It was gross.

It's not like real people who get outed never decide that.

But there's also a lot of real people who get outed, and it has terrible, awful consequences.

So, in the terms of what would do the least IRL damage, I'd prefer it if they didn't play it as if outing somebody else without their permission was totally cool and not potentially dangerous.
