According to Wikipedia, Garth Brooks is a longtime supporter of gay rights. He won a GLAAD award in 1993 for his song "We Shall Be Free". He sang a duet with George Michael at a benefit concert organised by Human Rights Watch in 2000.
I didn't know this. Country musicians are typically perceived as conservative, but people like Brooks and Dolly Parton are not in that mould.
