Responses to Newsweek's Homophobia.

A little bit ago Newsweek released an idiotic article about how straight people can play gay roles, but gay people can't play straight roles. Yeah, you read that right. There was a whole lot of fuss about it, and Newsweek has responded with another article in which Dustin Lance Black and Jarrett Barrios discuss the article. Kristen Chenoweth who costars with Sean Hayes and is a guest star on Glee shared her opinion of this idiocy:

“This article offends me because I am a human being, a woman and a Christian. For example, there was a time when Jewish actors had to change their names because anti-Semites thought no Jew could convincingly play Gentile. Setoodeh [the author of the article] even goes so far as to justify his knee-jerk homophobic reaction to gay actors by accepting and endorsing that ‘as viewers, we are molded by a society obsessed with dissecting sexuality, starting with the locker room torture in junior high school.’ Really? We want to maintain and proliferate the same kind of bullying that makes children cry and in some recent cases have even taken their own lives? That’s so sad, Newsweek!”
