Ty Herndon Gay country artist Ty Herndon talks about the Concert for Love & Acceptance, the changing attitudes in county music and a new album Gregg Shapiro | Contributing WriterGreggShapiro@aol.com Ty Herndon knows a thing or two about love and acceptance.
Although he was initially embraced by country music fans in the mid-to-late 1990s, a series of unfortunate events — including some related to his sexuality — sidelined his career.
But since coming out as a proud gay man in 2014 and finding personal and public acceptance, Herndon has performed at Pride festivals and released albums in which he sings songs with same-gender pronouns.
