lang was actually run out of country music because of her radical
vegetarianism. She did some anti-beef print ads that riled up the
midwesterners, who in turn refused to play her records. There are several
lesbians in country music who have done quite well.
On a side note, I think both the Heather Myles and Alison Moorer albums were
two of the best country records put out in 1998. I am not even considering the
looks factor, just the music. It seems to be a matter of taste, plain and
simple.
