Country Music Star Gets His Pick of *******

Gay

"Osborne is not the first country star to come out as gay, however, according to Time, he is the only openly gay artist signed to a major country label. He told Time that he doesn't think he will be run off the stage in a place like Chicago, \"but in a rural town playing a county fair? I'm curious how this will go.\" He also wondered if country music isn't popular among many gay people because they've never had an opportunity to relate to it. Osborne said first came out to his brother and bandmate in his mid-twenties. \"He was very open and candid about it, and I was emotional, because my brother was finally able to be completely honest with me about who he was,\" John told Time. \"How often, in life, do we hold back parts of ourselves and wish that we didn't?\ wrote:

That's a really offensive subject-line.

What's your problem with this man or the issue of homosexuality that you feel the need to present it like that?

It may be that if you state a lucid political position worthy of thoughtful discussion, this thread may not disappear when the admins see it.

Um.. so ? what's political about this ? sexual preference is a personal thing an part of a human beings makeup.

Don't care. Irrelevant. Move along.

I'm glad he was able to come out publicly; it sounds like he's been out to his brother for several years, and got tired of shielding part of himself from the rest of the world. Congratulations, TJ, and welcome.

Edit: I found it funny that he wonders about country music not being popular with gay people. Some of the best 'country' bars I've been to are gay bars, and I know lots of LGBTQ+ folks who love country music. Line dancing, y'all!

It’s my suspicion county music fans relate to common sounds, ideas, and so on. It’s why Charley Pride was popular, or that guy with the nice hair from New Zealand/Australia. Kieth Urban.

Couldn’t he have at least changed his last name to Rural??
