Jane Lynch, who plays Sue Sylvester on
Glee, has said the coupling of Darren Criss and Chris Colfer's
characters on the show was sweet.
In last week's episode, titled The
First Time, Criss' Blaine Anderson and Colfer's Kurt Hummel took
their budding romance to the next level.
Also losing their virginity on the
episode were Finn Hudson (played by Cory Monteith) and Rachel Berry
(Lea Michele).
Socially conservative groups fumed at
producers for tackling the topic.
During a brief interview before
attending a gay fundraiser with her wife, Lara Embry, Lynch told
GregInHollywood.com's
Greg Hernandez that she thought the storyline was sweet.
“I think they did a great job with
that episode, I thought it was so sweet and tender,” she said. “We
had Rachel and Finn having their first moment and I thought they did
that tastefully. Nobody was humping each other. They basically
showed these kids post-coital, if you will. It was just tender and
sweet.”
“If you have a problem with
homosexuality, then maybe you have a problem with that,” she added.
