I was disappointed to hear your annoucement about coming out, but I
was really disheartened to read about how you blindsided other artists
on your way out like Brad Paisley and John Rich. I just don't think
that was fair to them. I had been a fan of yours for some time and
that surprised me just as much as your being gay. Had not gotten a
chance to listen to your new music yet before the annoucement but am
dismayed to see that your CD comes with a parental advisory sticker.
Why the need to curse? To be honest, it looks as though you are
deliberately trying to alienate your fans. There are some people who
won't buy your album due to that sticker and some stores who won't
carry it due to that sticker and so you will lose sales there. I also
understand that it is a pretty radical departure from your other
music. There could be a lot of reasons why the album wouldn't sell and
the fact that you're gay could be the least of them.
