Chely Wright: Life in the Closet Nearly Drove Me to Suicide
By Tim Nudd

Wednesday May 05, 2010 11:30 AM EDT

When she hit rock bottom, Chely Wright came close to ending the life
that had kept a big secret for so long.

The country-music singer, 39, who came out this week, says at one
point she picked up a gun and was close to pulling the trigger –
trapped as a closeted lesbian and afraid of losing everything in a
conservative industry that might not accept who she really was.

"I had a 9-millimeter gun in my mouth," Wright said on Wednesday's
Today show. "I was living a secret life, and I was very much a
country-music celebrity … I gave up hope, and I was ready to take my
own life."

The pressure had been building, she said, ever since John Rich of
country-music duo Big & Rich asked her if she was gay – the first time
she'd ever been asked directly after years of avoiding the issue.

She recalls: "John finally asked me point blank: 'You're not gay. If
you are, people won't have it. It's sick, it's deviant, it's
unacceptable to country-music fans.' And he said, 'You're not, are
you?' And I lied. And I knew that I had gone from not talking about it
to being a liar."

The weight of that new burden nearly drove her to suicide – but she
managed to face her fears instead. "I stopped praying for what I had
always prayed for, which was 'Help me figure out a way to still have
my career and everything,' " she says. "My prayer was: 'God, give me a
moment's peace.' "

She adds: "I didn't hear God's voice. I didn't see a guy in a robe.
But I heard God say what He'd been whispering in my ear all along: 'I
expect one thing of you, and that's to tell the truth.' "

Wright, author of the new memoir Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland
Country Singer, admits she has some trepidation about how fans will
react to her announcement. "I am not not afraid," she says. "But I'm
not ashamed." And besides, a huge weight has been lifted. "It feels
incredible," she says. "I feel as if it's my birthday."

Chely Wright: Life in the Closet Nearly Drove Me to Suicide
By Tim Nudd
Now we know who the celebrity who's supposed to come out on May 5 is.
I never heard of her before, but I don't listen to country music. It's
probably even harder for a country singer to come out than a more
mainstream artist.

First of all being queer isn't the end of the world especially when

in her mouth. The only thing she's had in her mouth is another
woman's clitoris. If she has ever had sex with a man, then she's not
a lesbo she's a bi-sexual. She chose to remain in the closet because
of her greed. She realized she was making huge amounts of money and
didn't want to affect that. That's disingenuous folks. Now that her
career has stalled she's comes out and tells everyone she's an alleged
lesbo, yea right. Again the greed in her rears its ugly head once
again. I bet her parent are real proud of her now.

one is in show business.  So my guess is she's lying there about a gun
in her mouth.  The only thing she's had in her mouth is another
woman's clitoris.  If she has ever had sex with a man, then she's not
a lesbo she's a bi-sexual.  She chose to remain in the closet because
of her greed.  She realized she was making huge amounts of money and
didn't want to affect that.  That's disingenuous folks.  Now that her
career has stalled she's comes out and tells everyone she's an alleged
lesbo, yea right.  Again the greed in her rears its ugly head once
again.  I bet her parent are real proud of her now.
As a conservative I make fun of all kinds of people. Blacks, whites,
Hispanics, gays. leftist, liberals, rednecks etc. But it is all just
fun. Because the one thing I've learned in life is that homosexuality
is not a choice. People are born that way. A gay person can no more
help being attracted to the same sex than you can help being attracted
to the opposite sex. I've met enough gay men, lesbians and
transgender people to know that they are not freaks or deviants. That
they have hearts and souls and emotions just like every other human
being does. You don't have to approve of anyone. But neither should
you hate. Jesus taught us to love our brothers and sisters not to
hate them. You should remember that.

Chely Wright: Life in the Closet Nearly Drove Me to Suicide
By Tim Nudd
Wednesday May 05, 2010 11:30 AM EDT
When she hit rock bottom, Chely Wright came close to ending the life
that had kept a big secret for so long.
The country-music singer, 39, who came out this week, says at one
point she picked up a gun and was close to pulling the trigger –
trapped as a closeted lesbian and afraid of losing everything in a
conservative industry that might not accept who she really was.
"I had a 9-millimeter gun in my mouth," Wright said on Wednesday's
Today show. "I was living a secret life, and I was very much a
country-music celebrity … I gave up hope, and I was ready to take my
own life."
The pressure had been building, she said, ever since John Rich of
country-music duo Big & Rich asked her if she was gay – the first

she'd ever been asked directly after years of avoiding the issue.
She recalls: "John finally asked me point blank: 'You're not gay. If
you are, people won't have it. It's sick, it's deviant, it's
unacceptable to country-music fans.' And he said, 'You're not, are
you?' And I lied. And I knew that I had gone from not talking about it
to being a liar."
The weight of that new burden nearly drove her to suicide – but she
managed to face her fears instead. "I stopped praying for what I had
always prayed for, which was 'Help me figure out a way to still have
my career and everything,' " she says. "My prayer was: 'God, give me a
moment's peace.' "
She adds: "I didn't hear God's voice. I didn't see a guy in a robe.
But I heard God say what He'd been whispering in my ear all along: 'I
expect one thing of you, and that's to tell the truth.' "
Wright, author of the new memoir Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland
Country Singer, admits she has some trepidation about how fans will
react to her announcement. "I am not not afraid," she says. "But I'm
not ashamed." And besides, a huge weight has been lifted. "It feels
incredible," she says. "I feel as if it's my birthday."
John Rich is a hero for stating the truth and not running away from it
or hiding in the closet like most liars called homosexuals.  First of
all if  you read this article she's not dealing with a full deck
upstairs.  She's a nut.  She speaks of sticking a gun in her mouth

But many seem to think Gold told them to hate gays. They actually

people.

And if you call them on their hateful and bigoted ways, they become
victims and claim religous persecution. Yet they were using their
religion to persecute others.

Tolerance, empathy ad understanding are one thing. "Civil rights" are
another. If you're talking about marriage. Then you are wrong.
"Marriage" is and always has been a religious institution. It is very
intolerant and bigoted of the gay community to attempt to redefine
marriage as a secular institution. If two gay people want to form a
civil union and call themselves "married" that's fine by me. But
forcing churches, synagogues and mosques to recognize those unions as
"marriage" by using the force of man's law is plain stupid and
intolerant. But I'm sure you disagree. That's because most liberals
want the world to conform to their point of view 100% of the time.
Then they stand there and accuse others of being intolerant, bigoted
and homophobic.

Your ignorance is as astounding as your hate.

Marriage is NOT only a religious institution. It has NOT always been that
way.

Let's show, very easily, just how stupid you are.

Can I go get married today by a Justice of the Peace? Can I get maried
without going inside a church.

The answer to both is YES. Therefore, marriage, even in America, even
today, is NOT only a religious institution.

The CIVIL institution of marriage resides in American law as a completely
independent institution from religious marriage.

A religious marriage, one done inside a church, has no bearing to this

THAT'S COMPLETELY MADE UP IN YOUR INSANE, HATEFUL MIND!!!!

Get the facts. Don't be so willfully ignornat and stupid.

Here's the bottom line: IT'S NOT ABOUT YOUR GOD DAMN FUCKING CHURCH!!!

It's about the government, pure and simple. It's about equal CIVIL

I do not want for any church to change themselves in any way.

I DO want civil rights. If an unchurched, un-Christian man and woman can
get married by THE STATE, then all couples should be able to, regardless
of sex.

GET IT? IT'S NOT ABOUT YOUR FUCKING CHURCH!!

However, this issue is about the ignorance and hate of supposed
"Christians" like yourself, who would rather hate than get the facts.

Your own goddamn bible says that the truth will set you free. Try it
sometime.

being attracted to the opposite sex.  I've met enough gay men,

or deviants. That they have hearts and souls and emotions just
like every other human being does.  You don't have to approve of

But neither should you hate.  Jesus taught us to love our
brothers and sisters not to hate them.  You should remember
that.
I wish more Christians felt and believed like you do.
But many seem to think Gold told them to hate gays.  They actually
believe that God's purpose is served by denying civil rights to
gay people.
And if you call them on their hateful and bigoted ways, they
become victims and claim religous persecution.  Yet they were
using their religion to persecute others.

Tolerance, empathy ad understanding are one thing. "Civil rights"
are another. If you're talking about marriage. Then you are wrong.
"Marriage" is and always has been a religious institution.  
Your ignorance is as astounding as your hate.
Marriage is NOT only a religious institution. It has NOT always been
that way.
Let's show, very easily, just how stupid you are.
Can I go get married today by a Justice of the Peace? Can I get
maried without going inside a church.
The answer to both is YES. Therefore, marriage, even in America, even
today, is NOT only a religious institution.
The CIVIL institution of marriage resides in American law as a
completely independent institution from religious marriage.
WAKE UP AND THINNK!!!
Post by Billary
It is very
intolerant and bigoted of the gay community to attempt to redefine
marriage as a secular institution.  
No. You are the one being intolerant. And ignorant. I am in NO WAY
redefining marriage as a secular instituion.
Our law already has.
A religious marriage, one done inside a church, has no bearing to
this argument.
Post by Billary
If two gay people want to form a
civil union and call themselves "married" that's fine by me. But
forcing churches, synagogues and mosques to recognize those unions
as "marriage" by using the force of man's law is plain stupid and
intolerant.
Again, you fail to see the separation of church and state.
And again, you show your overwhelming ignorance and hate.
NO ONE HAS EVER SAID that churches, etc. would be "forced" to
recognize civil marriage of gay people.
THAT'S COMPLETELY MADE UP IN YOUR INSANE, HATEFUL MIND!!!!
Get the facts. Don't be so willfully ignornat and stupid.
Here's the bottom line: IT'S NOT ABOUT YOUR GOD DAMN FUCKING
CHURCH!!!
It's about the government, pure and simple. It's about equal CIVIL
rights.
Your church, your mythology and your pretend invisible friend are
IRRELEVANT to the matter.
Post by Billary
But I'm sure you disagree. That's because most liberals
want the world to conform to their point of view 100% of the time.
Then they stand there and accuse others of being intolerant,
bigoted and homophobic.
I am not asking you to change your view on gay people. I don't care.
I do not want for any church to change themselves in any way.
I DO want civil rights.  If an unchurched, un-Christian man and woman
c
an
get married by THE STATE, then all couples should be able to,
regardless of sex.
GET IT?  IT'S NOT ABOUT YOUR FUCKING CHURCH!!
However, this issue is about the ignorance and hate of supposed
"Christians" like yourself, who would rather hate than get the facts.
Your own goddamn bible says that the truth will set you free. Try it
sometime.

That's your problem. I don't hate. But because I disagree with your
political agenda. That becomes hate in your tiny little mind. You'd
better reexamine yourself hater. You've spewed nothing but venom in
the attached retort. By the way. I'm not a Christian. I'm an agnostic.
But your hateful insults against people of faith are duly noted.
You spewed ignorance. I refuted it. You have no response.

Your ignoring of the subject is noted.

Prove your point. PROVE IT.

You spewed the following babble:

"Marriage" is and always has been a religious institution.  

I easily showed how false that is. You provided NO response.

You spewed the following babble:

"It is very intolerant and bigoted of the gay community to attempt to
redefine marriage as a secular institution."

I showed how this statement is false. It has no basis in fact. You
provided NO response.

You have no proof. You have no response except avoidance.

You say that I've "spewed nothing but venom" in my response.

FALSE.

I gave several examples to refute your flawed thinking.

YOU are the one who gave nothing but spew, in both your original post and
in your lacking resposne.

Now it is up to you.

PROVE your allegations.

You can't.

Once again you evade the subject.

You made false and ridiculous claims. And now you lack the integrity to
admit that. All you can do now is try to change the subject.

You can hide behind my supposed "venom" all you want.

But you can't hide that you claimed things that aren't true.

In other words, you are a liar and a coward.

Marriage has been a RELIGIOUS institution since the days of the

Now it's YOU who are making assumptions and spewing venom.

FYI, I don't watch Maddow.

And YOU are the moron.

Take a look at your own words, moron. You said:

"It is very intolerant and bigoted of the gay community to attempt to
redefine marriage as a secular institution."

Marriage is ALREADY a secular institution. I proved that to you, moron.

Any marriage performed by a civil servant, such as a Justice of the
Peace, is by DEFINITION a civil institution, therefore NOT religious.
It's secular, moron.

You still can't take responsibility for the fact that you spew ignorance
and claim things as fact that are easily shown to be false.

Your continued avoidance of the subject is still noted.

Even if this was true (and it isn't, since the Romans had religious
marriage rites in addition to civil ones), it's irrelevant. The fact
is that in 2010, it's both a secular and a religious institution (we
do have a choice, and I'm sure that irks you) and your previous claim
was false. You can't admit error, so you bluster.

Re; "civil unions", I never understood why your Christers have such an
issue with the word marriage, as if you own it. If the state gives
rights to two dudes to be "unionized" which are the same as being
married. there is no difference save for the term used for it. It's
like you're afraid having the same word for straight marriages used
for gay marriages will give you cooties or something. What a bunch of
crybabies.

Chely Wright: Life in the Closet Nearly Drove Me to Suicide
By Tim Nudd
Wednesday May 05, 2010 11:30 AM EDT
When she hit rock bottom, Chely Wright came close to ending the life
that had kept a big secret for so long.
The country-music singer, 39, who came out this week, says at one
point she picked up a gun and was close to pulling the trigger –
trapped as a closeted lesbian and afraid of losing everything in a
conservative industry that might not accept who she really was.
"I had a 9-millimeter gun in my mouth," Wright said on Wednesday's
Today show. "I was living a secret life, and I was very much a
country-music celebrity … I gave up hope, and I was ready to take my
own life."
The pressure had been building, she said, ever since John Rich of
country-music duo Big & Rich asked her if she was gay – the first time
she'd ever been asked directly after years of avoiding the issue.
She recalls: "John finally asked me point blank: 'You're not gay. If
you are, people won't have it. It's sick, it's deviant, it's
unacceptable to country-music fans.' And he said, 'You're not, are
you?' And I lied. And I knew that I had gone from not talking about it
to being a liar."
The weight of that new burden nearly drove her to suicide – but she
managed to face her fears instead. "I stopped praying for what I had
always prayed for, which was 'Help me figure out a way to still have
my career and everything,' " she says. "My prayer was: 'God, give me a
moment's peace.' "
She adds: "I didn't hear God's voice. I didn't see a guy in a robe.
But I heard God say what He'd been whispering in my ear all along: 'I
expect one thing of you, and that's to tell the truth.' "
Wright, author of the new memoir Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland
Country Singer, admits she has some trepidation about how fans will
react to her announcement. "I am not not afraid," she says. "But I'm
not ashamed." And besides, a huge weight has been lifted. "It feels
incredible," she says. "I feel as if it's my birthday."
John Rich is a hero for stating the truth and not running away from it
or hiding in the closet like most liars called homosexuals.  First of
all if  you read this article she's not dealing with a full deck
upstairs.  She's a nut.  She speaks of sticking a gun in her mouth
over her inability to come to grips with being a freak of nature.
Suicidal impulses are not evidence of insanity, but they are evidence
of despair.

It sure as hell is in country music.

So my guess is she's lying there about a gun

woman's clitoris.  If she has ever had sex with a man, then she's not
a lesbo she's a bi-sexual.
Doesn't prove anything unless she liked it and is attracted to men.
Lots of women have sex with men and don't enjoy it. For example,
everyone you've ever scored with (all two of them). There are gay men
who have sex with women in order to put up a straight front, too.
Post by Charlie
She chose to remain in the closet because
of her greed.  She realized she was making huge amounts of money and
didn't want to affect that.  
If so, why shouldn't she? Do you suppose people go into country music
for the sake of art, not commerce? Haw!

That's disingenuous folks.  Now that her
career has stalled she's comes out and tells everyone she's an alleged

So you know better than she does if she's a lesbo or not, huh.
