Country Singer from Brothers Osborne Comes Out

One of their songs is named "Shoot Me Straight".

^ It was the censored title of “Shoot My Straight Into The Butt Of A Whore At An Adult Bookstore.”

Good for him and good luck with cuntry fans.

[quote]He's the lone openly gay man signed to a major label country record deal

Orville Peck would like a word.

R3 He is not in a major label but an independent one.

The brothers Osborne have at least one country airplay number one. This guy is very far from the usual (and very few) country singers who came out, whoe generally were or independent or popular long time ago

Oh boy! I love weed, whiskey and willies.

Good for him.

Love this song & the video, if someone told me I'd live to see a gay couple & a interracial couple in a country music video, I would've scoffed at them.

Stay A Little Longer is their most famous song (posted in R7). Just reading the lyrics and they kept them gender neutral so they could be for any couple

Something like a strong wind is coming over me It's got a hold of me, yeah Thinking and doing things I shouldn't be I really shouldn't be

Give it one more call It's one more "whatcha doin right now?" It's one more trip to my side of town and you walk right in One more here we go again

One more drink leads to another You slide up close to me Tear the t-shirts off each other Your hands all over me I tell myself I'm not in love But one more time is not enough One last kiss and then you're a goner And I'm here wishing you could stay a little longer

So calm and so cool, yeah I try to be Like it don't bother me The last time was the last time Until I'm all alone and I'm picking up the phone

One more call It's one more "whatcha doin right now?" It's one more trip to my side of town and you walk right in One more here we go again

One more drink leads to another You slide up close to me Tear the t-shirts off each other Your hands all over me I tell myself I'm not in love But one more time is not enough One last kiss and then you're a goner And I'm here wishing you could stay a little longer

Stay a little longer

Wishing you could stay a little longer...

His stylish wardrobe and hair gave him away long ago.

He has a nice deep voice and is cute. I hope this works out for him, and good for him for doing what none of the closet case country singers were willing to.

[quote]He is not in a major label but an independent one.

He's on Columbia Records now.

R7 I remember watching a little clip of the song (it was on a billboard hot 100 video) and just had to watch the video because i couldn't believe a gay and an interratial couple were on a country video

I remember seeing them on a country award show several years ago and being attracted to TJ's considerable basket and deep voice. This news is definitely a plus.

I love their music. Very happy to see at least one of them is a part of the family.

This is a great step in country music (I don’t want to be bitchy today) this is really good news

When Orville Peck decides to show his face, then we'll consider him.

I knew they were at least gay positive back when the "One More Time" video came out. The vignette with the two guys hugging and kissing was very brave of them. I hope that filth John Rich's head exploded over that.

That voice makes my ancient nether regions stir.

BUT WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEEEE?

TJ sure do have a purdy mouth! I ain't no homo but I if be one well that be a right purdy mouth for my big ol wang!

They forgot about Grandpa Jones. He was winking at Buck Owens every chance he got.

But I don't gossip 'bout my neighbors, so you better listen close the first time.

Little Jimmy Dickens was reputedly a big ol' homo.

Whaaat r9 you mean the other country music boys don't dress like this?

Career over.

He’s getting tons of support from other country stars. Not just women but Dierks Bentley and Jimmie Allen.

Kenny Chesney has no comment

R3, add Billy Gilman and Ty Herndon to your list.

R24 - exactly. Got to move on from country.

They like their men straight, their women subservient, and their music simple and makes them feel better than the low-lifes they are.

R16 Here is Orville Peck's face (and his penis)

You can match the tattoos at R28 to his IG. Nice big dick btw

Now if Dustin Lynch, Chris Young, and Michael Ray could do the same we would really be an open country.

Lol, I don't want to rain on your parade, but I'll be realistic and pull no punches. The truth is: this dude's career is over. His bro will survive and go on to have a successful solo career, but this queen, in country music, nope!

I really do think Chris Young is family, too.

r31 did you learn this hot take from the weekend festivities at CPAC?

Orville has a huge Pecker.

R33, actually, now that you mentioned it, I did, in part, because look at how conservatives treat gay or trans people. That was on full display at cpac. What more in an audience to which this duo's music marketed and geared?

Hillbillies will never accept us, and I know that, having come from the shithole where country music is revered.

I love country music and am so excited! This is great news. His music is much better than Steve Grand’s. Just downloaded a bunch of their songs and following to see when I can see them in concert.

The video's neglecting non-binary transsexual couples is literal violence

Orville is cute. Toothy.

... ..

Those are some very tight pants r39. He needs took take off the boots and preferably the pants too so we can if socks actually match as claims.

They announced on CBS Sunday Morning show today that they will be doing a segment on them during the show.

Good fir him. He’s cute and talented. And he’s probably making a lot of closeted country stars nervous, which is a plus.

Thank god it’s the really cute chill one, not that teary eyed grizzly one.

Good for her for admitting she has gender dysphoria. Hopefully, she will do something about it.

I just watched the interview, not intentionally. Never heard of them and i fucking hate country music. I just assumed they were vile trump trash singing about god, guns and beer. So I was actually quite surprised when the interview took that twist.

I’m as cynical as they come, but the whole family seems lovely. The sister actually it said it was the best day their family ever had when he announced he was gay.

This clan has integrity all up and down. I will never like the music, but I’m officially rooting for them.

I know I would

Lol, that Steve Grand dude must be shitting himself now that there’s some real competition.

“Tsunami of Love” will be their next big hit.

He must get a lot of ass.

Any relation?

He talks about publicly coming out at timemark 4:24.

He should go back in.

Don't look at us.

Other gay country artists who never had to come out because everyone already knew:

Country music singer Brandon Stansell in a gay-themed country music video.

The Brothers Osborne were nominated tonight for Duo of the Year on the ACM Awards. They lost, but did a live performance over the closing credits of the show.

TJ with Leslie Jordan.

This queen didn’t need to come out. It was obvious from the start with those hideous clothes and accessories. The rest of him is so basic looking he might as well be a mannequin.

Actually, mannequins have fatter asses so they’re already a step up.

I long for the day when it's just one big WHO CARES?

I've had a long journey; came of age in the era of AIDS in the 80s.

The government didn't do much about AIDS, but the media did; the message was clear: Look at a guy and you die. (okay, that's an exaggeration).

R56 Is Leslie Jordan going to be TJ's "gay mentor"?

.....

I like a skinny guy. Glad he's out.

Let me guess.... bottom?

Why post that here r60 ? Just send it to Archie in Nashville.

[quote] A friend invited me. Bought the tickets. I was a bit surprised when he asked. He isn’t much of a country fan - although he likes all kinds of music.

[quote] Brothers Osborne would be more my kind of thing than his.

[quote] About halfway through the show, the stage lights dimmed to a bare spotlight and one of the Brothers, TJ, stepped out into the glare and talked about coming out as gay earlier this year.

[quote] t was brave. It was moving. His coming out was trailblazing in a genre that remains stubbornly behind.

[quote] It invariably means the absolute world to some young fans coming to terms with their own sexuality.

[quote] And up in the last row of the mezzanine were my friend and I.

[quote] He is an absolute brother to me. I adore him. My life has been immeasurably improved by having him in it.

[quote] He is gay. He came out only recently.

[quote] It took him until his late 50s.

[quote] It has been gratifying to see him happy in the full expression of who he is.

[quote] It has made me happy to see him out and happy.

[quote] It took him decades, in part, because there were no Brothers Osborne back when he was young.

[quote] There was no TJ willing to walk out into the lonely glare of a single spotlight and tell their story.

[quote] There was no song on the radio by an out and proud artist written to his younger self - but also to them.

[quote] There was no “Younger Me”.

[quote] Beyond the songs and performances, what you’re doing is important and powerful.

[quote] Somewhere right now, there is someone listening to “Younger Me” or “21 Summer” feeling seen and understood.

[quote] Somewhere, to someone playing you on repeat, you are a lighthouse in a lonely fog.

Yeah, but can he take a couple of fists at one time?????

I didn't think so.

TJ and his brother at the recent CMA Awards.

He'll lose three quarters of his fan base, or be lynched

He looks like porn whore Alex mecum.

So TJ has a boyfriend named Abiezer Ventura.
