Country Singer Chely Wright Calls New York Times Op-Ed Speculating About Taylor Swift’s Sexuality “Upsetting” (www.hollywoodreporter.com)

I think it was awful of @nytimes to publish. Triggering for me to read— not because the writer mentioned my nearly ending my life— but seeing a public person’s sexuality being discussed is upsetting.

I think the Gaylors should be ashamed of themselves. They are doing exactly what LGTBQ+ have fought against for decades now - people making assumptions about their own lives and sexuality - but they're masking it because it's Taylor.

I'm in the camp of anything that's not public is just that - not public. Even if it were true (and all signs point to it not being true), then it'd be disrespectful of us to talk about it unless she made it public. Think about it, you're going out of your way to talk about something that she explicitly has hidden from the rest of the world. That doesn't make you a better fan, it makes you a gossip and not an ally.

You're not better than them because you have no audience. Neither should be speculating about people's private lives publicly.
