THE SHOT — As Queerty was the first to report (and TMZ the first to steal our report), Chely Wright is definitely your May 5 coming-outer. Now this week’s worst kept secret, home furnishers Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams uploaded to Facebook this snap with Wright at People‘s “surprise party,” with mention of her upcoming profile in the magazine.

Be nice if some celeb came out during their fame rather than ten years past their prime.

A “celeb” is someone who is know when you say their name. She isn’t a celeb. Even my friends who like country music don’t know who she is.

20 seconds of googling will tell me the answer, but just to make my point I will ask on here:
“WHO THE HELL is Chely Wright??”
Olga
PR company was successfull. Now we all know who she is))
Um... Who?
I’d ask it, but it seems I’m not the only one scratching their head. This is absolutely nobody. If my neighbor, Gladys, came out it would be as impactful. Don’t waste our time with this sh*t.

Geez, Chely is really desperate these days for some publicity for her new album. I’m surprised she’s been able to have the financial backing to make as many cds as she’s had considering she hasn’t been able to sell any of them.

She’s been off the radar for five years… when she was releasing CD’s, she was doing pretty well. I’m not sure what the reason for her hiatus was, but I am glad that she feels comfortable enough to come out. She is bold for being a country singer who, on the cusp of dropping an album, came out. That particular industry isn’t the kindest towards the homosexual people. I do have to say that I liked her hit songs, and I have a couple of her albums. I’m not a huge country fan.
I do find it sad that pecause people are discovering that it isn’t somebody big and beautiful (or dumb and cute) they must be whiney little brats who try to marginalized the importance of her message: I’m queer, I’m here… get used to it. (oh yea… and buy my book) Who cares what the motive is: many on here are like “Celebrities need to come out… blah blah blah…” but I guess y’all should add on there… “unless they are irrelevant… because we don’t want them!”
Kudos to Chely.

@Ricky: Quite a lot of people care what the motive is, you idiot! This is so obviously a publicity stunt from a desperate has-been. Nothing admirable about that!

What a surprise Mitchell Gold pimping his furniture to the gay community again and leaking this before the embargo. Everything that man does is for self-promotion. Ugh.
