Newsweek boycott brouhaha

BBC sums up the storm. Glee creator Ryan Murphy has called for a boycott of Newsweek magazine over an article which suggested gay actors cannot play straight roles. Murphy called the column, by gay writer Ramin Setoodeh, "needlessly cruel and mind-blowingly bigoted". The writer said that Will and Grace star Sean Hayes' Broadway performance as a heterosexual lead was "insincere" and "unintentionally camp".
