Kristin Chenoweth wants the world to “love everyone the same”.
The actress accepted the Vanguard Award at Sunday’s 22nd Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles for her work to increase the visibility and understanding of the LGBT community in the media.
Last year, Chenoweth, a devout Christian, wrote a lengthy response to a Newsweek article that claimed gay male actors couldn’t successfully play straight men, instigating a media debacle that led Glee creator Ryan Murphy to call for a boycott of Newsweek and the article’s author to briefly resign from the magazine.
“I want to encourage many people of all faiths
to come forward and stand with me,” Kristin said as she accepted her award.
to come forward and stand with me,” Kristin said as she accepted her award.“Even if you don’t believe in Jesus the way I do, he did teach love not just tolerance, but acceptance. I’m lucky I had parents who adopted me at birth, conservative Southern Baptists, who said, ‘You will love everyone the same.’”
Kristin recently revealed her dream movie role.
“Hmmm, I’d have to say… Dolly Parton,” she said.
