Well, my children had the talk long before six because their uncle is gay. It's not like we could keep it secret. It was out there in the open from their earliest days.
What happened to letting kids be innocent? Why does a 6 year old need to have "the gay talk"?
I didn't plan it. I don't even remember what we were watching (it wasn't Glee). Sometimes kids see stuff and you just roll with it as best you can. It's not like I decided it was time to teach the young padawan about gay people, picked out a show with men kissing, and provoked the issue. It could have been a couple of guys in a restaurant instead ... life happens.
We've also had the "Mom, what are those squirrels DOING?" talk.

And FTR, the gay characters are NOT why I think glee is too mature for a 6 year old -- it's the explicit sex talk, hetero or homosexual, that I think is too mature. I don't care if my son, 5, sees two men kissing at all. At this point, he wants to marry and man when he grows up, anyway, lol.
I don't think we've ever had "that talk". We just have a bunch of gay neighbors. It seemed more efficient.
Indeed.
