Country Music Singer Chely Wright Comes Out

I found this story particularly interesting because I was literally JUST thinking last night about how I enjoy country music and bluegrass, but never really got into it because of the generally ultra-conservative attitude of its fanbase.

I'm really proud of Chely for having the courage to be honest. I'd like to hope that this opens the door a little wider for the LGBT community as a whole, but I'd be lying to say I wasn't more worried for her well-being right now. I hope everything works out for the best.

Found the Joy Behar interview video. I LOVE her comment on Christianity. You guys know how I've struggled with my faith, like a lot of you, so this hit close to home for me, when she said "I have NEVER not had a relationship with God, and it feels more like he's been whispering in my ear this whole time."
