Rant incoming: Being a fan of country music as a queer person is so difficult sometimes. I was raised on country, and I like the music. Carrie Underwood used to be my favorite artist but I do not want to support people who support my rights being taken.

listen to the older stuff! kris kristofferson, willie nelson, johnny cash, and waylon jennings were all progressive af. there’s also tyler childers, jason isbell, billy strings, sierra ferrell, joshua quimby, and many more today that aren’t complete MAGA hacks and are actually quite progressive.

I like Tyler Childers a lot !! He’s openly pro union and pro gay even when he catches shit for it. He also donates a LOT to charities for minority groups, he’s just quiet about it and doesn’t make a big deal over it so people don’t always know

Plenty of LGBTQ+ country singers out there, like Orville Peck, and country singers who are LGBTQ+ allies, like Dolly Parton.

Jason Aldean was a huge part of my childhood as well but I will not financially support someone who is for MAGA and against equality.

Personally I find it easier to enjoy artists that are long gone like Marty robins, takes some of the guilt away

That’s why I stick with Dolly and Kacey Musgraves and call it a day. You can barely trust these country singers

I’ve been jamming to new age country like Mary Kutter, Maren Morris, and Julia Cole. No idea if they’re MAGA but I think if you’re singing about how amoral big Pharma is you’re probably not right?

I’m not saying there aren’t any, just that the ones I grew up loving have proven to be bad role models.

I’m assuming because while that is a country song, she’s not really a country artist
