What Chely Wright’s Father Said When Ellen DeGeneres Came Out on TV

Chely Wright’s coming our tour ain’t no sprint, it’s a marathon, baby! So there she was on Ellen yesterday, reliving her “I’m gay, everbody!” tale, and told the talk show host about her father’s reaction to Ellen coming out. He changed the channel and said, “That’s gross.”

We all know Chely’s father Stan is now an All-Star Parent for the way he handled his own daughter’s coming out, and crafted his own catchphrase: “Do not close the door, but open a heart.”
