I'm just not familiar with Lady Gaga's music, I really have no opinion for or against it - so I find it hard to say how well they showcased it in the episode. The theacricality of it was great though...and most of the costumes were great.
Oh, and the Principal thinking vampires are real was hilarious!
I completely understand where Finn was coming from, and would never want to be put in a situation like that either. What I agreed with was the way Kurt's Dad stood up for not letting derogatory language about his son, though it wasn't said in that context, used in his home, and equating it to other terms that most people would know better than to use. Bigotry in any form should not be tolerated just because it wasn't "meant" that way. I think Kurt understood that, and that he & Finn will be able to be friends & hopefully he'll get over his feelings for him, if he hasn't already.
As for how Rachel's mother reacted, I understand it, as I know a couple different women who gave up their babies for adoption. Neither went through the proper counselling prior to meeting their children, and it turned out bad. They still thought of them as their babies, and the kids had parents. You can't get those years back, but some try - and it can backfire in terrible ways. At least she was honest about how she felt, and they said they would acknowledge one another "for now", so I could see them becoming friends in the future. I would hope Rachel gets some counselling before then so she knows better how to process it.
