CNN: It sounds like the themes of acceptance and inclusiveness on "Glee" really line up with your own personal views.

Lynch: Oh, very much! I always wished I had something like "Glee" when I was growing up. I'm glad there are kids living out there in not-so-friendly parts of the country who have "Glee" to watch. They can see that there is hope and that it does get better and that there are people who have your back. You just have to find them.
