* EnsembleDarkhorse: Kenny's new boyfriend Brett (who was introduced in Season 2) has quickly become a popular character, namely for averting many stereotypes that cause some viewers to dislike Kenny and for Sean Grandillo's excellent acting.

* TheWoobie: Say what you will about Kenny, but it's very heartbreaking that his parents treat him differently when he comes out as gay, and is no longer their favorite as a result. It's also disheartening to think about how hard it is for him to be the only gay person in a family of strict Catholics, especially with two parents who look down on him and try to repress him.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Kenny. Either you think he's an {{Adorkable}} and charming protagonist who represents the LGBT community well, or you think he's a selfish, whiny, egotistical brat whose CampGay personality does more harm to the community than good.

The actor appointing himself the grand judge of how people are allowed to come out over Colton Haynes' doing it didn't help.

* OutOfOrder: The only episodes shown in production order in the first season are the first two and the last two. This is most glaringly obvious with "The Real Lent", which was the third episode aired but the sixth in production order. In it, Kenny has his first gay date and meets up with the guy twice. However, the next episode features his first day back at school after coming out, which would make no sense since the previous episode obviously covered a few days. This was also noted to make the depiction of Eileen's struggle to come to terms with having a gay son oddly realistic, as it comes off as a messy hodgepodge of conflicted emotions rather than the straight line to acceptance that had been intended.
