Country singer Chely Wright came out as a lesbian in 2010. Tonight she will appear on The Joy Behar Show to discuss various reactions to her coming out. She has received death threats, been shunned by the record industry and worst of all, been rejected by her mother.

Watch the clip from tonight’s show on HLN below, and share your thoughts on why there are not more out country stars and whether or not there is a place for gay artists in the country music industry.
