Kristin Chenowith is well-known as a Christian, but the new show "GCB"
may have her at odds with some fundamentalists who think she and the
show are crossing the line. GCB, originally titled "Good Christian
Bitches," until it became obvious that the name wouldn’t fly in the
puritanical world of America, is a show that brings together a Texas
church, a group of socialites and a gay man who is the husband of one of
the women. The show premiered recently and has already gotten under the
skin of the Parents Television Council and Women’s Media Center.
To her credit, Chenowith doesn’t seem to care very much, likely
dismissing those groups as ridiculous. She notes in an interview with
ABC News, "The Bible tells us that we're not supposed to judge, and
people shouldn't judge before seeing the show. I'm a Christian, I think
that's pretty well-known, and I would never do anything that I think
crossed the line."
Chenowith plays one of the socialites on the show, one perfected by
plastic surgery. With regard to the plotline of a gay man as a key
figure in the show, she notes, "I'd say go to church and take a look
around the room and see if you see any women who might be married to a
man who might be gay. I’d say be very careful of judging someone who's
in marriage who is gay because they don't want to be told they're going
to hell. I think that happens and I think it's horrible."
