Kristen Chenoweth Christian While Advocating for Gay Rights


Kristin ChenowethKRISTIN Chenoweth has revealed who she’d most like to play in a movie!
The actress says she wants to portrayDolly Parton on the big screen.
“Hmmm, I’d have to say… Dolly Parton,” Kristin said of her dream role.
Chenoweth — who’s been very open about your strong religious beliefs and identifying as a Christian while simultaneously advocating for gay rights — admits she hates the negative connotation associated with Christianity .
“Oh, I hate it!! I hate it, because being a Christian to me is such an awesome thing,” she said. “And I hate that there have been those before me who have turned it into an ugly word. Of course it can sometimes be connected with very conservative, right wing, intolerant people, and that’s not the way Jesus was.
“So, that bums me out that Christianity is linked to such a negative feeling, because I honestly think if Jesus were alive today he probably wouldn’t be in churches. He’d be with the sick and the poor and the people who are outcasts and people who feel unloved and the people who are told that they are not ‘OK’.
“If I had to read in the Bible that ‘it’s a sin to be 4’11′ — what would I do?  Ya know, I think you are who you are and I don’t think God makes mistakes. I’m hoping that there are a lot more Christians out there who believe like I do and won’t be afraid to say so.”
