Chris Colfer, who plays gay student
Kurt Hummel on the Fox musical-comedy Glee, has said
homophobes need to get a hobby.
Season 3 of Glee ended with Kurt
headed to college, leaving behind his boyfriend Blaine Anderson, who
is played by Darren Criss. But before leaving, the couple took their
budding romance to the next level in the episode titled The First
Time.
In an appearance Tuesday on ABC's The
View, Colfer, 22, was asked to respond to people who criticized
the show for including a sex scene between a gay male couple.
“Well, I don't listen to those
people. I mean, I feel like those people should stop writing letters
and get a hobby,” he said. “I personally get letters from kids
every single day who write to me in secret because they live in
environments that don't accept who they are. So, I really could care
less what those people say.” (The video is embedded in the right
