Country

To this day, country music remains one of the hardest genres for an out artist to work in. But despite the age-old machismo, a handful of LGBT singers have found the courage to live proudly as their true selves--a struggle and a victory that shine through in their music. And change is already in the making--in 2014, for example, Kacey Musgraves became the first gay country singer to take home the CMA Song of the Year award, for "Follow Your Arrow," written by two LGBT songwriters. As the country music industry continues to grow and develop, so too will the attitudes toward LGBT artists.
