Country Singer Chely Wright Says She's Gay
It's a country song in the making, maybe. Artist Chely Wright has come out of the closet, y'all, making her the first openly gay country music performer.
"There had never, ever been a country music artist who had acknowledged his or her homosexuality," she tells People.com. "I wasn't going to be the first." But then she changed her mind. "Nothing in my life has been more magical than the moment I decided to come out," she says.
This ends the lengthy Internet speculation as to who the People cover story about coming out would be.
The 39-year-old musician was named Academy of Country Music's Top New Female Vocalist in 1999, for her hit single "Single White Female."
The singer will release her new album, "Lifted off the Ground" and her memoir, "Like Me" on May 4.

Chely Wright is a beautiful lady, I thought this all tabloid b.s. until I heard her say it from her own
mouth. I gave been a fan of hers for years. I think her looks went a long way in getting her to where she is today. IF you look at many of her videos you will see she is dressed to kill, and she has never been shy about her great body. she has been a huge supporter of the miltary going into combat areas to ebtertain our troops. I will remain a fan, but ,I hope I am wrong, but I think her carreer will suffer. Again I hope I am wrong. I also do not understand why celegerities feel the urge to tell the world their sexual yreference. I am straigt,and I am just another working man, but I do not ever feel the urge to tell people I am straight. But if her doing that stopped her from dropping the hammer on tha 9 mm she had in her mouth, then thank God she did it. Cheky Wright is and always has been a hard worjer, shew worked her way to where she is now, and she is a patriotic American, and gay or straight she is still a talented and very beautiful woman. I know she will always have me as a fan. I think she will get some negative feedback, bvut she is strong enough to handle anything that is thrown at her. I hope people just let her be happy. She has not harmed anyone and she has done nothing wrong. God Blss You Chely. You have many people spporting you and wishing you the best.
