Now, out queer people are some of the most celebrated country stars. Brandi Carlile and Lil Nas X are Grammy winners. T.J. Osborne, one half of the Brothers Osbourne, came out last year, the first out gay artist signed to a major country label. Trixie Mattel, who won her season of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars," incorporates original music inspired by Loretta Lynn and June Carter Cash into her drag act. And Black queer artists like Allison Russell, Amythyst Kiah and Joy Oladokun are reaching audiences across genres.

I have never heard of any of these people. i'm not joking.

I listen to a lot of music at work, in my car and at home. Not one of these names are familiar.

Did I somehow dodge a musical bullet?

I heard of Brandi, but that’s it. Was never a fan.

I haven't either. But I don't listen all that much to the music of today.
