Until she came out in support of Bush. But then she came out for same sex marriage so I can't fault her on all things. I was really torn at one point because I loved her music.

I have tuned her out every since. Did not realize she came out for marriage equality.

Country artists and their loyal fans have long been notorious for their right-wing viewpoints and rarely come out to play with LGBT audiences -- let alone speak with gay publications. But in March Martina McBride sent shock waves through the world of country music when she spoke with Out.

Now Reba McEntire is bridging the gap even more. As she releases her 31st album, Keep on Loving You, on August 18th, the one-time rodeo singer turned diva with album sales of over 55 million faces another challenge -- how to address the LGBT community without alienating the fan base that helped her reach and maintain country royalty status. McEntire ' who has topped the charts 33 times over -- spoke with Out about her new album, sending 'Tweebas' to her fans, and how growing older has changed her approach to making music.

Another celebrity joins the side of equal rights, with country superstar Reba McEntire saying that when it comes to the issue of same-sex marriage, people shouldn't judge. Seems like pretty simple advice, albeit one that might challenge some of Reba's listeners. After all, country music fans are far more likely to vote for conservatives than progressives.

McEntire will be interviewed in the upcoming issue of Out Magazine, becoming the second country music star to be featured in the mag (behind Martina McBride). For McEntire, it's a Biblical principle not to judge LGBT folks.
