Cynthia Erivo’s casting as Jesus in “Jesus Christ Superstar” has sparked outrage among traditional-values Americans. The decision to cast a Black queer woman in the role of Christ strikes many as disrespectful to Christian beliefs. Erivo dismissed critics, laughing off concerns and calling the Hollywood Bowl “the gayest place on Earth.” Her flippant response ignores the sacred significance of Jesus to millions.
The Trump administration’s efforts to cleanse institutions like the Kennedy Center of radical politics highlight a cultural divide. While patriots fight to preserve America’s Judeo-Christian roots, Hollywood doubles down on woke revisionism. Erivo’s casting feels like another attack on faith, rewriting history to suit far-left agendas. Critics argue this isn’t about race but about respecting religious truths.
Erivo shrugged, saying, “You can’t please everyone,” treating sacred scripture as mere entertainment. Her comment reduces Christianity to a punchline in a “three-day performance.” For believers, this isn’t just a musical—it’s a mockery of their deepest convictions. The Hollywood elite continue pushing boundaries, trampling tradition for shock value.
President Trump’s removal of the Kennedy Center’s radical board members aimed to protect American art from leftist propaganda. Erivo called this move “sad,” siding with activists over everyday Christians. The Kennedy Center should celebrate America’s heritage, not erase it. Patriots see Trump’s actions as defending culture from destructive ideologies.
Erivo admitted she didn’t anticipate backlash for her lifestyle choices, claiming naivety. Many see this as willful ignorance of conservative America’s values. Her new album, “I Forgive You,” ironically dismisses the very people she’s offending. It’s another example of elites preaching tolerance while silencing dissent.
The production’s casting of Adam Lambert as Judas adds fuel to the fire. Lambert’s history of controversial performances aligns with Hollywood’s penchant for provocation. Together, Erivo and Lambert symbolize a industry obsessed with undermining tradition. Patriots are tired of being told to accept these insults as “progress.”
This isn’t just about one role—it’s a pattern of erasing Christian identity. From rewriting classic stories to attacking sacred symbols, Hollywood targets faith at every turn. Ordinary Americans are fed up with being labeled “bigots” for defending their beliefs. The left’s intolerance for dissent grows clearer by the day.
CBN News stands with believers who reject this cultural sabotage. While elites mock Christianity, millions cling to the truth of Scripture. Erivo’s performance may draw applause in liberal circles, but it’s a hollow victory. Real Americans know faith can’t be rewritten for a woke agenda—it’s the foundation of our nation.
