Response to an article in Newsweek by Ramin Setoodeh

In May 2010, Kristin Chenoweth wrote
Kristin Chenoweth Mermaid no 1 in response to an article in Newsweek by Ramin Setoodeh, an openly gay writer. Setoodeh thought that her Tony-nominated Promises, Promises co-star, Sean Hayes, "comes off as wooden and insincere" in playing the straight character Chuck, and that Jonathan Groff has a similar credibility problem in the TV show Glee. He questioned whether any openly gay actor could acceptably portray a straight character.

Kristin Chenoweth called the article "horrendously homophobic" and criticized Setoodeh's view as rationalizing "the same kind of bullying" that gay youths face in high school. Chenoweth argued that audiences "come to the theater to go on a journey" and do not care about an actor's sxual orientation. The story was picked up approvingly by major media including The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.
