A Newsweek bard has a complaint with plainly happy thespian Sean Hayes" description of a heterosexual man in the Broadway play, "Promises, Promises." Despite the actuality that Hayes has been nominated for a Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and a Tony for his performance, the Newsweek bard finds Hayes non-professional to hold as a true man.In fact, the new Newsweek essay raises the subject about either any happy men can ever convincingly fool around straight, Neil Patrick Harris notwithstanding. Kristin Chenoweth, Hayes" costar and love seductiveness in "Promises, Promises" has her own complaint -- with Newsweeks article. And her commentsabout the vicious essay patrician "Straight Jacket: Heterosexualactors fool around happy all the time. Why doesnt it ever work in reverse?"written by Ramin Setoodeh, is gaining a lot of await from similarly angry readers on the Newsweek website. Heres Kristins full comment: "As a longtime fan of Newsweek and as the thespian now starringopposite the incredibly gifted (and sexy!) Sean Hayes in the Broadwayrevival of Promises, Promises, I was repelled on majority levels to seeNewsweek edition Ramin Setoodehs horrendously homophobic "StraightJacket," that argues that happy actors are simply non-professional to playstraight. From where I stand, on stage, with Hayes, each night -- I"veobserved zero "wooden" or "weird" in his performance, nor have Inoticed the clearly unmanageable participation of a "pink elephant" in theBroadway Theater. (The Drama League, Outer Critics Circle, and Tonymembers contingency have additionally longed for that large animal when nominating Hayes"performance for the top honors this year.)&I"d normallykeep wordless on such counts and write such small-minded viewpoints offas maybe a blip in usual sense. But the offense I take to thisarticle, and your preference to tell it, is not unequivocally even associated tomy contention or my work with Hayes or Jonathan Groff (also singled outin the essay as as well "queeny" to fool around "straight.")&Thisarticle offends me since I am a human being, a lady and a Christian.For example, there was a time when Jewish actors had to shift theirnames since anti-Semites thought no Jew could convincingly playGentile. Setoodeh even goes so far as to clear his knee-jerkhomophobic greeting to happy actors by usurpation and endorsing that "asviewers, we are molded by a multitude spooky with dissecting sexuality,starting with the locker room woe in youth high school." Really?We wish to say and proliferate the same kind of bullying thatmakes immature kids cry and in a little new cases have even taken their ownlives? Thats so sad, Newsweek! The examples he provides (whatscientists call "selection bias") to infer his "gays cant playstraight" supposition are messy in my opinion. Come on now!Openly happy Groff is as well "queeny" to fool around Lea Michelles [sic] beloved inGLEE, but is a "heartthrob" when he does it in Spring Awakening?Cynthia Nixon usually "got afar with it" "cause she appearance prior to comingout? I dont know if you"ve longed for the hulk Sex and the City movieposters, but it seems majority of America is "buying it." I could go on,but I pretence these will be taken caring of in your "Corrections" thisweek.&Similarly, thousands of people have trafficked from allover the universe to suffer Hayes" opening and dont appear to have onesingle issue with his sexuality! They have no complaint shopping him as alove-torn heterosexual man. Audiences arent giving a damn about who aperson is sleeping with or his personal life. Give me a break! We"reactors first, either we"re personification prostitutes, ball players, orthe Lion King. Audiences come to drama to go on a journey. Its acharacter and the called acting, and I"d put Hayes and his brillianceup there with a little of the biggest actors period.&Lastly,as someone whos been proudly advocating for next to rights andsupporting GLBT causes for as prolonged as I can remember, I know how muchit equates to to immature people struggling with their sexuality to see out& unapproachable actors similar to Sean Hayes, Jonathan Groff, Neil Patrick Harrisand Cynthia Nixon next in their work but carrying to keep theirsexuality a secret. No one needs to see a bigoted, factually inaccuratearticle that tells people who deviating from heterosexual norms that theycant be open about who they are and still grasp their dreams. I amtold on great management that Mr. Setoodeh is a happy man himself and Iwould hope, as the writer of this article, he would at slightest understandthat. I inspire Newsweek to welcome stories that foster acceptance,love, togetherness and singing and dancing for all!"What do you think? Is Kristin right?
