Richell Rene Chely Wright is an American country music singer and gay rights activist. In May 2010, Wright became one of the first major country music performers to publicly come out as lesbian, remarking I hear the word tolerance that some people are trying to teach people to be tolerant of gays. Im not satisfied with that word. I am gay, and I am not seeking to be tolerated.
