Kenny Chesney: I'm No Gay Cowboy

SHARE:

Adjust text size:



Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney were married for five months and mysteriously split afterwards. There was no declaration from Renee on the reasons that led her to filing the papers for the marriage's annulment. That until the silence was filled with rumors.

The film "Brokeback Mountain" inspired gossipers. With a story revolving around the love between two gay cowboys, the movie made people come with the idea that the reason why Renee left Kenny so suddenly and without warning was that she supposedly found out he was gay.

The country singer is now trying to put an end to the relentless gossip.
He declared that people have "done nothing short of calling me gay and (Renee) a whore. None of those things are true. I'm pretty firm in my sexuality and my love for women."

He said that allegations made upon him being gay have hurt him immensely.
A simple way to discard them would be to make public why Renee left him.

Until then, the cowboy will probably head for the road, as he had declared that music and driving are his only relieves when in pain:
"No matter what's going on in my life, there are two things that have stayed the same: the road and the radio. I look for the answers there, on a long stretch of highway or in a great song."

As a professor in Gender Studies at a major university, I am fairly aquainted with the "fear of exposure" that gay young men harbor when consistently trying to promote a "straight" image. In the case of country western performers, the pressure is even greater. Country music performers usually try to consistently promote a "man's man" type of image. However, when Reba McIntyre made the comment on a CMA awards show a year or two ago, that she wished that "the boys from West Hollywood" would quit making the award decisions.....(paraphrase), then I began to question the sexuality of not only Kenny Chesney (who I am convinced IS gay), but also of that svelte, skinny, swishy duo of "Brooks and Dunn". Yeah, there are definitely more than a few gay cowboys on the concert circuit these days.

I think he is straight. People want to make accusations baised on nothing. So his marraige did't last If you look at the percent rate most marraiges don't last much longer than six months . The only reason that they are making a big deal about it is because he is a well know country singer. I also think that people need to mind their own D@#$ business and give it a rest.

I agree definitely. I think people are projecting "wishful thinking" on him. They think he's hot, and want him to be gay for personal reasons, so they accuse him of it and and do things like that, probably to try to get him to admit he is. However, in the past, people (famous one and not famous ones) have put up a stink about how hetero they were and kept on about it, and then eventually let the cat out of the bag and admitted their homosexuality. So... the point there is no one knows for sure and will never know, except Kenny himself. If he's saying he's hetero, we have to believe him until evidence proves otherwise.
