In an interview this week, Wicked star Kristin Chenoweth spoke out against North Carolina's anti-LGBT House Bill 2.

In the interview on Sirius XM, the Broadway vet joined the ranks of Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr, Pearl Jam and Cyndi Lauper, among other artists, who have come out against the hateful legislation, which forces trans individuals to use the bathroom that aligns with the gender assigned to them at birth.

In the interview, Chenoweth, an Oklahoma native and proud Christian, opened up about how she's learned to balance her faith with her desire to support and advocate for LGBT rights.

“I will tell you that it has been an interesting part of my journey because I never thought that me, being this little girl from Oklahoma, that this would be a thing,” she began.

“But really, the truth is, my Christianity is a big part of who I am. And, my love of—how about this?—people and their rights are important to me."

"It never occurred to me not to be for gay rights...It never occurred to me not to be. Truth is truth.”

Given her past out-spoken support for the LGBT community, many of her fans wondered how the cheery-eyed chanteuse would respond to HB 2, a question she gladly answered in the interview.

“I will say, as an artist, I was wondering this for myself, how I would handle it,” Chenoweth said. “My handling of it will be: ‘I’m coming and I’m going to still talk about it.’"

"I’m going to sing my gospel song," she continued. "I’m going to talk about the kids in the audience, directly to them, who are gay or feel different. And I want to take whatever I make and make that donation the way I want to make it. It just won’t go in my pocket."

Unlike artists such as Springsteen who have decided to outright boycott North Carolina, Chenoweth will follow in the steps of artists like Cyndi Lauper and Beyoncé who have chosen to use their performance as a platform to voice support for North Carolina's LGBT community.
