The story of queer country music – and its message of hope | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it

As LGBTQ+ country artists like Orville Peck and Lil Nas X blaze a trail, Addison Nugent looks at the surprising and little-known tradition of queer country music that preceded them.

This article from bbc radio speaks on the musician Lil Naz X and his outward expansion it to territory uncharted and how it makes the way for others to do so no matter their sexuality. I believe this is a message not wide speared enough and to have it spread by BBC Radio is fantastic.

This article was very informative. I learned about some of the first gay country musicians that spaced the way for artist like LIl Nas X to be accepted today. I learned of The Sweet Violet Boys which we lead to believe recorded the first gay country song. Wilma Burgess was one of the first openly lesbian country singers back in the 1960s. She was unapologetically herself with her music, she made openly gay lyrics. The most intriguing however was Patrick Haggerty who was the lead vocalist, writer, and creator of the queer country group the Lavender Country. They were said to have created the first true queer self titled album Lavender Country. To this day the group has disbanded and regrouped countess of times only to still be touring as one of the greatest queer country music groups ever. Patrick Haggerty still being at the forefront of the group. I relate to this article because I want to be authentic like Wilma Burgess, accepted like Patrick Haggerty and bold like Lil Nas X and Orville Peck. I only aspire to be as successful as them in every aspect of the Music industry that i decide to take by storm, from songwriting to my win entertainment company. This article was not on a major informational resource for audio industry professionals. However it was a very reliable source. It also related very specifically to the LGBTQ+ role in the music industry.
