This makes you not like him or his music anymore? It’s a personal song written for his gay family member. How are people upset?

Why release to public in promotion of new album if it’s a personal song written for a family member? And publicize its release.

Actually sounds more like the video (not the original take of song) was made for cousin which definitely pushes into both pandering and marketing of pandering. Videos are about marketing in the first place on top of the extra promotion being done, so this isn’t truly a personal song for a cousin.

The cousin story just seems a little like a last minute made up story trying to lessen some criticism from fans. Regardless, Can he write and sing a song about something he doesn’t know about? Or is he letting song get redefined in video? Either way when he sings it now he is singing about gay love of his cousin.

I worry about it since I’m a dad. If you’re a parent, then not being concerned about it is stupid.

The fact that the left loves it so much shows how fricked up our world is.

Yes. Subject portrayed in video does go against natural order and sexual reproduction in evolution of humans. Gay scenes me think a Deliverance squeal like a pig scene or a prison rape is about to occur or one is taking advantage of the other somehow like when a show or movie takes a child predator scene too far like Broadchurch (when I have seen that bald actor in other stuff the first thing I think is he is the guilty one behind whatever is going on).

One can live and let live while still not getting it and thinking it’s not normal. Besides we know in today’s climate the sequel will have one of the gay coal miners identifying as trans, and once that penis is cut off, fauxgina dug out, breasts implanted, and full female stereotypes acted out the other one is going to have to decide just how “gay” he is.

Something you might be unaware of, but regular dudes don't really identify with gay romance.

You be you. .

The song itself was written back in 2016 and isn’t about his cousin. The cousin bit is in regard to the video itself.

I have to disagree. This is from the interview about the song and the video:

quote:

Tyler Childers: [One] reason that I wanted to do this music video was my cousin growing up, who's like my big brother, is gay. And he graduated from Northern Kentucky, went to Chicago and never came back. He taught me so much about singing; he was my first tough critic. And just thinking about him not having a music video on CMT that spoke to him.


NPR In Your Love interview with Childers and House

It’s also worth noting one of the members of his band, The Food Stamps, is gay. And Silas House (who worked with him on the video), also gay and from Eastern Kentucky, has long been friends and collaborated with Childers before.

This isn’t just some newfound thing if you’ve followed him for awhile.
