The Concert for Love and Acceptance will present this year’s edition online Tuesday, June 30th. Providing their talents as co-hosts for the event will be Chenoweth, CMT’s Cody Alan, and of course the man that started it all Ty Herndon. 

Produced by Herndon’s newly formed charitable foundation the Foundation for Love & Acceptance, the show will benefit ACM Lifting Lives — the philanthropic arm of the Academy of Country Music — along with GLAAD, which has partnered with Herndon to present the concert since 2015.

We’ve covered Ty Herndon quite a bit since his coming out in 2014, most recently we shared Ty Herndon “Has it Covered” With New Music, Partnership With The Trevor Project, And Him Being Him. But what does Ty have to say about this year’s CONCERT FOR LOVE & ACCEPTANCE?

“Now more than ever, it’s so important that young LGBTQ people see the artists and musicians they love standing up for them. Since we began this event in 2015, it’s only been about love and acceptance, and we’re not about to let this COVID virus distract us from sending a message loud and clear to LGBTQ youth: you’re perfect just the way you are.” – Herndon

For more information on how Country and LGBTQ+ are mixing it all up, I’d recommend heading over to CMT to read CMT Celebrates Pride, Country Music’s LGBTQ+ Community as the article highlights artists, writers, and efforts to increase the already wonderful presence of LGBTQ+ artists in country music.
