The iconic country singer has been married to fame-shy husband Carl Dean for 53 years but has faced speculation about her sexuality throughout her career. Dolly has been an LGBTQ icon and outspoken ally throughout her career, and once famously said that if she’d been born a boy, she’d have become a drag queen.
Speaking around the release of Jennifer Aniston-starring Netflix film Dumplin’, for which she provided the soundtrack, Dolly detailed her love for gay fans and drag queens, saying: “I have a huge gay following.
Speaking to The Sun, she dismissed the rumors that she’s in a secret relationship with lifelong best friend Judy Ogle but stressed that she “doesn’t care” what people say about her because she’s happy with who she is. “So people say that because you can’t have a great relationship with a woman. I’m not gay but I have so many gay friends and I accept everybody for who they are,” she said.
