Chely Wright Comes Out And It Feels Like A Birthday

Despite the conspicuous and elaborate trappings that have accessorized the coming out of county singer Chely Wright, her story is an important one to tell, and should not be lost amid the media oversaturation. Her narrative of a life filled with secrets, self-doubt, and thoughts of suicide, familiar to any gay man or woman, is critical because it ultimately contains a story of resilience and of a reward for finally standing in the truth. Wright is articulate, sincere, and thoughtful, and a beautiful gay heroine. Congratulations Chely!
