Kurt Hummel is the original gay character on Glee. He is played by actor Chris Colfer who is gay in real life. In the first several episodes, Kurt tried to hide his sexual orientation from everyone (not too successfully) including Mercedes, who had a big crush on him and smashed his car's windshield when he rejects her.
Kurt's boyfriend is Blaine Anderson, played by straight actor/singer Darren Chriss. Blaine comes over from the rival glee club The Warblers at Dalton Academy and joins Kurt at McKinley High.
Max Alder, another straight actor, plays the part of Dave Karofsky, a anti-gay bully. Karofsky's continuous bullying makes Kurt change high schools, going to Dalton where he meets Blaine. Eventually, Karofsky exposes himself as a closet gay man with big self-hate issues.
Then there's Sebastian Smythe, a conniving and rather evil student from Dalton Academy, who tries to get between Blaine and Kurt. He is played by Grant Gustin. Since he plays a gay character, he is of course straight.
A recurring playing-against-character pattern is found in Glee: Straight actors play gay parts, gay actors play straight parts (Coach Sue, Neil Patrick Harris, and others). Kurt/Chris Colfer is the one exception.
The third season also introduced Wade Adams (played by Alex Newell, cast through the Glee Project) who identifies as female - so not sure if Wade is gay or straight, just transgendered. (Yes, those are two different things.) Wade performs his Vocal Adrenalin numbers in full drag.
On the lesbian side, there's Santana Lopez, played (and sung so well) by Naya Rivera. She has had romantic feelings for bisexual Brittany S. Pierce for the first two seasons and eventually came out and accepting herself in the third season. Brittany (Heather Morris) remains bisexual.
Rachel's two dads, obviously gay, are played by Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell. Although they are mentioned endless times throughout the series, we don't actually see them until late in season three.
Flamboyant ex Glee Club director Sandy Ryerson (Stephen Tobolowsky), who is fired and replaced by Will Shuester, appears in the first season to be in denial of his orientation, although endless pastel pink sweaters and mannerisms say otherwise. In the second season, Sandy admits that he is gay.
That, I think, pretty much covers all the gay characters on Glee.
Kurt Hummel and Blaine are both openly gay on the show.
