So Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, and Martina McBride walk into bar, and the bartender says, “Hey ladies, what’ll it be today?” And the trio bounces back, “How about full equality for gays and lesbians?”
*crickets*
OK, so it doesn’t make the best punchline. But it is true that several country music superstars are making bold steps to speak up for LGBT equality. The latest is Dolly Parton, who not only said she’s cool with gay marriage last week, but also dropped a bit of a sucker punch in the direction of Pastor Joel Osteen, who himself went on national television a few weeks back and said that homosexuality “wasn’t God’s best.” Parton said that if Pastor Osteen were genuinely religious, he wouldn’t be judging LGBT folks.
Huh, turns out that God’s best may be a bunch of country music divas. Story is here
