Chely Wright Thanks Hollywood for Support Since Coming Out

Chely Wright Thanks Hollywood for Support Since Coming Out

Country singer Chely Wright has lived in the public eye for years with her music career, but privately, she felt like she was "hiding." Until recently she kept her sexual origin a secret before bravely coming out on "The Today Show."

"I feel like my life was in black and white before coming out and now with the help of the LGBT community, my life is now in color," she told an assembly of students at a school safety summit.

On behalf of The Gay Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, she led a focus group to tell adolescents about her journey to publicly acknowledging her sexuality. "I'm in awe of these young people and that at such young ages they have the great sense of self to stand up and they understand who they are and they're willing to fight for it. It's also a great testament to GLSEN and the great work that they've done," she told ET.
