Dixie Chicks: LGBT-related
LGBT-related
The Dixie Chicks have equated their experiences with the fallout from the Iraq War controversy with the hatred felt by the LGBT community. Maines, who has a home in Chelsea, Manhattan near band-mate Maguire, confirms that the gay community has fiercely returned the support.[1] When an interviewer from The Advocate said that the Chicks have probably gained a whole new group of gay fans, Maines responded, "We’ve wiped the slate clean as to whom we think our fans are, but we do think we have more liberals and more gay men behind us. We have a gay hairdresser and gay makeup artist who are with us every single day, so they fill us in."[2]
In 2005, the Chicks recorded the song "I Believe in Love" for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) album Love Rocks. Procedes from the album go to HRC which is an organization that "work[s] towards equality" for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals.[3]
