- Quotes
Burt Hummel: Hey! What did you just call him?
Finn Hudson: Oh, no, I didn't call him anything. I was just talking to the blanket.
Burt Hummel: You use that word, you're talking about him.
Kurt Hummel: Relax, dad, I didn't take it that way.
Burt Hummel: Yeah, that's because you're 16 and you still assume the best in people. You live a few years, you start seeing the hate in people's hearts. Even the best people.
[to Finn]
Burt Hummel: You use the N word?
Finn Hudson: Of course not.
Burt Hummel: How about "retard"? You call that nice girl on the Cheerios with Kurt, you call her a retard?
Finn Hudson: Becky? No, she's my friend. She's got Down's Syndrome. I'd never call her that, that's cruel.
Burt Hummel: But you think it's okay to come in my house and say "faggy"?
Finn Hudson: But that's not what I meant.
Burt Hummel: I know what you meant! What, you think I didn't use that word when I was your age? You know, some kid gets clocked in practice we tell him to stop being such a fag, shake it off. We meant it exactly the way you meant it. That being gay is wrong. That's some kind of punishable offense. I really thought you were different, Finn. You know, I thought that being in Glee Club, and being raised by your mom, meant that you were some, you know, new generation of dude who saw things differently. Who just kinda, you know, came into the world knowing what it's taken me years of struggling to figure out. I guess I was wrong. I'm sorry Finn, but you can't, you can't stay here.
Kurt Hummel: Dad.
Burt Hummel: I love your mom and maybe this is gonna cost me her, but my family comes first. I can't have that kind of poison around.
[turns to Kurt]
Burt Hummel: This is our home, Kurt.
[turns back to Finn]
Burt Hummel: He is my son. Out in the world you do what you want; not under my roof.

While Finn became excessively angry and hurtful, Kurt almost forced this kind of reaction from him. He showed remarkably little empathy or tact in his decision making regarding the living arrangements and never once considered Finn's feelings. He simply would not back off and kept forcing the issue until Finn exploded.
That being said, the father's reaction was also completely understandable. He didn't know all that had been leading up to the argument. All he knew was that his son was being hurt and he retaliated. However, if the father was being forced to live with a gay guy who kept making advances on him, I doubt he would handle the situation better.
So while I believe the majority of the confrontation was Kurt's fault, I felt that all involved were at least a little in the wrong. I do credit the writers for being true to the characters though. Kurt was in love and seeing the object of his affections so close, he got blinded and missed the obvious signs. Finn got backed into a corner and retaliated harshly and the father only wanted to protect his son.
