After dealing heavily with gay themes since its debut, ‘Glee‘ is finally taking on the issues that transgendered teens face. In tonight’s episode, ‘Saturday Night Glee-ver,’ we were introduced to Unique: a transgendered character who is coming to terms with her identity.

Unique, part of the show choir Vocal Adrenaline, approaches Mercedes and Kurt as a young man named Wade (played by Alex from ‘The Glee Project‘) who wants to wear a dress on stage and unveil his flashy alter ego. It appears at first that he came to the right place, to take advice from two of the show’s bravest characters.
