Lookin’ for a gay C&W star

A new reality show is currently in the planning stages. American Pride is a show dealing with some gay men who will attempt to become the first openly gay mainstream country-western star.

In a cover story on American Pride, published in Nashville Scene magazine, the IAGSDC gets mentioned:

Outside the mainstream, Stevens explains, there is a well-established, if niche-oriented, market for gay country singers. This includes organizations like The International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA) and the International Association of Gay Square Dancing Clubs (IAGSDC). “Gay country singers regularly perform for events sponsored by these organizations. I’ve sung at a lot of IAGSDC events,” he says. “In fact, I’m living in San Francisco now because the gay square dancing group out there invited me to perform at their national convention. I fell in love with the place, so I moved there.”
