Chely Wright has made a name for herself as the first openly gay country singer ever. Chely who started her career in the early ninties has hidden her sexuality from the public for the entirety of her career. she has final decided to come out as a homosexual.
Wright seems to be pretty happy with her decision to come out of the closet and appears to have no regrets. This is quite a step up for the ultra conservative world of country music. This could help to create a whole new dialogue on gay rights within the conservative culture.
More and more people are coming out every day and openly admiting that they are homsexual. The old taboos have gone. Now even within the country music world someone admist that they are in fact lesbian. Maybe this is the beginning of a string of admissions to sexuality within the country music world.
