Hit-making songwriters Shane McAnally and Brandy Clark are both gay.
"Old Town Road" performer Lil Nas X came out in 2019, and singer-turned-songwriter and studio musician Shelly Fairchild married a woman in 2017.
CMT radio and television host Cody Alan came out in 2017, and in 2021, Brothers Osborne's T.J.
Osborne came out, making him the first openly gay artist signed to a major country music label, Taste of Country reported.
Q&A with Ty Herndon, Country’s First Openly LGBT+ Artist
The LGBTQ+ community has gained mainstream acceptance in the last ten to fifteen years. I however continued singing the damn song without the band.
Q: What’s your favorite song that you’ve ever released?
It’s so beautifully written. This is about two friends saying, “Look at Ty! He tried to date all these girls. I changed the melodies.” I said, “I knew you could sing, child.
I wanted to do something that was lasting and left a legacy. I love that she's married (to Hilary Hoover) and they have this awesome baby.

He was just being ridiculous.” I said, “I want you

GS: A Broadway musical reference!

This song is simply this for me. It's a story, especially now, that our youth and, even if you're 90 years old, that you need to

“Work Hard”
Q: What’s your craziest story from touring?
And, I love her so much. If you go back and listen to all my albums, I’ve been telling this story from the beginning. Y'all are the best!"
