Out-lesbian country sensation, Chely Wright (and this month's guest on our Soapbox, both here on the site and in our "Pride" issue of Instinct) visited CBS This Morning for a sit-down with Gayle King.
(Cue the obligatory Gayle and Oprah gay joke. Now that that's out of our systems we can move on because this is serious business!)
Chely touched on her coming-out process, wrenchingly detailed in her new documentary, Wish Me Away, as well as her guilt over the "cruelty" of dating men (including country superstar Brad Paisley) in order to remain closeted, and the country music industry "freeze-out" that she's had to deal with since showing the world her authentic self.

Tags: gay bullying, youth, nate berkus, tv, seth walsh, chely wright, video Seth Walsh died of suicide in September 2010 after enduring relentless anti-gay bullying at his California school. Late last week, Nate Berkus surprised the late teen's mother Wendy with the unveiling of a newly-decorated youth lounge at NYC's GLBT Center in Seth's honor. But the surprises for the family didn't end there: Shawn Walsh (Seth's 11-year old brother) sticks out as an eloquent advocate for raising awareness against anti-gay bullying, a distinction that has earned him the first Chely Wright "Like Me" scholarship from a new program that'll award five students a year who fight against bullying in their schools with funds for college.
