Country Singer Chely Wright Marries Girlfriend

Country singer Chely Wright married her girlfriend, Lauren Blitzer, on
Saturday, with both wearing Jose Dias-designed white wedding gowns. "We had a
great time!" she exclaimed on Twitter.
The interfaith ceremony -- Wright is Christian while Blitzer is Jewish -- was
attended by 200-plus guests at the home of Blitzer's aunt in Connecticut.
Wright told People magazine that they opted for a deejay rather than a live
group because "bands at weddings make me nervous."
The 'Single White Female' singer, 40, came out in May 2010 and met Blitzer --
a 30-year-old GLBT Civil Rights activist -- just two weeks later. She told E!
recently that they want to start a family. "The benefit of being out is I get
to have everything that everyone else has," she said.
While openly gay artists are nothing new in other genres, the world of
country music is historically more socially conservative. It's believed
Wright is the first notable star to reveal his or her homosexuality in the
genre.
Career-wise, the move to be open about her sexuality may have backfired. She
timed her announcement to the release of "Lifted Off the Ground," her first
release in five years. The album came out May 4, 2010, and generated
first-week sales of 3,000 units in the U.S. (good enough for No. 200 on the
Billboard 200 and No. 32 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart) and has
sold a total of 21,000 units in the U.S. to date, according to Nielsen
SoundScan.
In January, Wright admitted that fans may have reacted in a negative way to
her news. "It didn't help my career," she admitted in a chat on Auto Straddle
in January. She said coming out even led to death threats.
"My life has been threatened," she said. "I get nasty letters every day, 'I'm
through with you Chely Wright, you're going to hell.' ... In coming out I had
a feeling that it would diminish my wage earning, and that feeling was
correct. And, I am fine with that."

不要再相互靠近,毀滅不會終止的。在你的未來,我想告訴你:
打破任何我讓你產生的想像,努力去愛一個人,但不要過分愛一個人,
適度地愛,也不能完全不愛,那種愛足夠讓你知道在現實裡怎樣做對他才是好的,
那種愛足夠讓你有動力竭盡所能善待對方。即使你因而不愛我了,但沒有關係,
我希望你現在和未來活得好,那就是努力去愛別人,雖然我可能無法完全免於悲傷。
