Kristin Chenoweth Claps Back at Anti-LGBTQ+ Group Calling for a ‘Wicked’ Boycott


Kristin Chenoweth is defending 'Wicked' from an anti-LGBTQ+ boycott from the One Million Moms organization. Get all the details.

As an anti-LGBTQ+ organization shared its loathing for the film adaptation of Wicked, Broadway superstar Kristin Chenoweth is pointing out that its opinion isn’t all that “Popular.” In a new petition, One Million Moms (an offshoot of the conservative Christian non-profit the American Family Association) called on supporters to boycott the film, claiming that Wicked is “pushing the LGBTQ agenda on families, particularly children” through inclusive casting and openly queer characters while also promoting “witchcraft and sorcery.” The petition had just over 13,000 signatures at the time of this article publishing. Chenoweth shared a comment under an Instagram post about the petition, where she used an eye-rolling emoji to sum up her feelings about the organization’s boycott.
