I got my latest issue of Country Weekly yesterday and although I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill, I found an article that really pissed me off. It seems country artist Brad Paisley's newest single concerns his feeling that "America has tried to make men feminine." With most of the country audience being red-neck good ole boys, I see rampant discrimination towards gay country music fans with this sorry excuse of a song.

His latest single is called;  I'm Still A Guy. Several lines in this song suggest excessive homophobia. The second chorus in particular refers to dudes getting facials, manicures, being waxed, and even botoxed. With spray-on tans and lotioned hands, you can't hold a tackle box. Men lining up to be neutered, now it's hip to be feminized with highlighted hair, but he stills has a "pair."

Paisley wrote this song with two of his associates and "they all just sat around laughing." This song to me is a direct slam to gay men. It's common knowledge that male country stars have a certain paranoia about any hint of being gay. There have been several "lavender marriages" in the past develop when a certain country star was hinted on being gay, all of a sudden they turn up hastily married.  

I intend on writing to the magazine to express my displeasure with Paisley and their endorsement of this latest slam against the gay community. If this individual ever appears locally, there will be picketing!
