GLAAD announced that Tyler Rich, Lee Brice, and Mickey Guyton will be joining the star-studded list of performers for the 2019 Concert for Love & Acceptance in Nashville, Tennessee on June 6th. Anita Cochran will return as performer and musical director for the show.
“Each year, the Concert for Love & Acceptance continues to promote inclusivity and acceptance in the country music world. It’s so important, now more than ever, for us to come together to show our support for the LGBTQ community and this slate of top-tier performers are leading the way” said Zeke Stokes, Chief Programs Officer at GLAAD and Executive Producer of the 2019 Concert for Love & Acceptance.
With more than 12 million in RIAA certified sales, Lee Brice has achieved Gold and Platinum on every album and single released, with “A Woman Like You” reaching Double Platinum status. Gold album certifications include: Love Like Crazy, Hard2Love, and I Don’t Dance. With well over 2 billion spins on Pandora, Lee Brice was inducted into the streaming service’s ‘Billionaires Club’ on June 8, 2018. The “Rumor” singer, who is now among the Top 25 most-streamed country artists of all time on Pandora, is only the second country artist behind Keith Urban to receive the Pandora Billionaire plaque. Lee is a GRAMMY nominee, a CMA nominee and a double ACM award winner, and he’s taken five radio singles to #1.
As one of their “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know,” Rolling Stone touts Tyler Rich as “the newest member of country music’s radio-minded incoming class, with a homecoming king’s swagger and a valedictorian’s songwriting smarts.” Tyler made his national television debut on NBC’s TODAY performing “The Difference,” his breakout tune which scored a No. 1 on SiriusXM and hit the Top 20 on Country radio. People explored how Tyler went from “From Red Robin to Hitting No. 1,” penning his own music and Backstreet Boys AJ McLean’s new single, “Night Visions.” Most recently named as Pandora’s Artist to Watch for 2019, he made his Stagecoach debut last month and will headline his own shows in addition to festival dates throughout summer, including CMA Fest on June 9.
After signing to Capitol Records Nashville, Mickey Guyton’s first appearance was an all-star concert at the White House captured by PBS. In 2015, she released her self-titled EP featuring her debut single “Better Than You Left Me,” which he co-wrote with Jennifer Hanson, Jenn Schott and Nathan Chapman. In 2016 she was nominated for her for first Academy of Country Music Award for New Female Vocalist. At this year’s ACM Awards, Mickey performed alongside Chrissy Metz, Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina and Maddie & Tae, the song “I’m Standing With You” from the BREAKTHROUGH movie soundtrack. She has also been spotlighted in People magazine’s American Voices feature, Billboard magazine as one of Country music’s “female game changers,” and Entertainment Weekly as one of the “new queens of country music.”
When ACM and CMA nominated country artist, Anita Cochran, was diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer in August of 2017, she had no idea how tough the road ahead would be. After her first round of chemotherapy sent her into the hospital, her doctor quickly took her off the road for the rest of the year because she would be unable to tour due to the effects of the cancer treatments. Cochran turned to her songwriting as a creative outlet and form of musical therapy. The result is her latest single titled “Fight Like A Girl”, which carries a message of strength and determination in the face of incredible challenge. Cochran continuously tours and is now writing for a new record in follow-up to her 2018 single release “Fight Like A Girl.”
These artists join previously announced superstar Daughtry, who will be performing a special acoustic set at the Concert for Love & Acceptance, which features a coalition of artists and celebrities appearing and performing to accelerate acceptance for LGBTQ people. Singer Rita Wilson will also be performing hits from her album “Halfway to Home.” The 5th annual concert will take place during the legendary CMA Fest and will be hosted by Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning artist Ty Herndon and CMT’s Cody Alan. Herndon, who co-founded the concert alongside GLAAD in 2015, will also perform. Other confirmed performers include Chely Wright, Harper Grae, Tayla Lynn, Brody Ray, Brandon Stansell, and Antigone Rising.
During last year’s Concert for Love & Acceptance, GLAAD also announced the Ty Herndon Rising Stars Grant, bestowed upon young people for their commitment to enhancing LGBTQ inclusion and representation in music. The grant is eligible to LGBTQ young people who are working to accelerate acceptance in the music industry. Applications for the grant are now available at glaad.org/risingstars.
The inaugural Concert for Love and Acceptance was held in 2015 to kick off GLAAD’s Southern Stories Tour. The event has been supported by artists including Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Tanya Tucker, Michael Ray, Billy Dean, Cale Dodds, Chris Carmack, Crystal Gayle, Billy Gilman, Cassadee Pope, Calum Scott, Dana Goldberg, Kree Harrison, Mickey Guyton, Levi Hummon, Runaway June, Ryan Kinder, Meghan Lindsey, Street Corner Symphony, Thompson Square, and Trent Harmon.
The 2019 Concert for Love and Acceptance partners include presenting partners CMT, Ketel One Family-Made Vodka, and Southwest, community partner The Weissmann Group, and media partner Billboard.
The event will take place at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville, Tennessee on Thursday, June 6 at 7:00pm. Click here for ticket information.

Charli XCX Enlists Lizzo for Summer Anthem ‘Blame It On Your Love’ — LISTEN
Charli XCX and Lizzo have dropped their song of the summer contender collaboration “Blame It On Your Love” which is both fairly basic and also catchy as hell. The track, a reworked version of Charli’s 2017 “Track10”, was produced by Stargate and A.G. Cook.
Writes NPR: ‘Lizzo, fresh off her first-ever Billboard Hot 100 entry for “Truth Hurts,” a song she released two years ago, does a painfully brief verse here, but it oozes with magnetism. “I’m trying to catch millions, not trying to catch feelings,” she claims, before gleefully exclaiming an expletive and leaving Charli to her own devices. If “Blame It on Your Love” is the duo’s first official stab at saving pop music, imagine what the possibilities are for a full-length album, or, better yet, an Avengers-esque movie universe where the villains are, like, the Chainsmokers.’

HRC Honors 2019 International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia
HRC Honors 2019 International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia
In advance of Friday’s observance of the 2019 International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOTB), HRC is recognizing the power of global voices speaking out against Brunei’s brutal anti-LGBTQ laws and calling out the Trump-Pence Administration’s appalling silence on the persecution, oppression and torture of LGBTQ people around the globe.
While millions of LGBTQ people around the world continue to secure their basic human rights and gain visibility, the lives of far too many remain at risk under the rule of governments that criminalize their identities and seek to deny their very existence. LGBTQ individuals in at least 10 countries live under the threat of the death penalty simply because of who they are.
“While countries and communities around the globe are increasingly embracing LGBTQ people, far too many of us still live with the threat of discrimination, violence and even death — including in Brunei, where draconian laws are targeting LGBTQ people, and in Chechnya, where alarming human rights violations against LGBTQ people continue,” said HRC Global Director Ty Cobb. “In the absence of White House leadership on these issues, it is critical that the international community continues to stand together in support of LGBTQ people around the world. As we celebrate the 15th annual International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, we honor LGBTQ advocates and allies, global stakeholders, corporate leaders and others worldwide who are committed to erasing social stigma and protecting the human rights of all.”
HRC through its #EyesOnBrunei digital campaign has been shining a spotlight on the dire situation in that country, and calling on the Trump-Pence White House and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to end their deafening silence. While it was reported that the Sultan had declared a moratorium on the death penalty, LGBTQ people are still at risk.
The Trump-Pence White House has also remained silent on anti-LGBTQ atrocities in Chechnya. Since news of the persecution of individuals suspected of being gay and bisexual first broke, HRC has sounded the alarm through an #EyesOnChechnya campaign and called on the Trump-Pence administration to speak out and take action. Tragically, there are again new reports of a crackdown against LGBTQ people in Chechnya.
This week, HRC and the American Bar Association (ABA) co-hosted a panel on global initiatives to protect LGBTQ communities from violence, including longtime allies and Judy and Dennis Shepard, and participated on a panel at the Embassy of Ireland on the state of LGBTQ rights around the world. And tomorrow, HRC will launch the results of the 2019 HRC Equidad CL Report, a first-of-its-kind assesment evaluating LGBTQ-inclusive policies and practices in major businesses and employers in Chile. Inspired by HRC’s annual Corporate Equality Index (CEI) — the premier benchmarking tool on corporate LGBTQ-inclusive corporate practices — the Chilean-based survey is designed to promote LGBTQ workplace inclusion and promote best practices to create welcoming spaces for thousands of workers.
HRC works to strengthen the global equality movement through public education, advocacy, fellowships, partnerships and research. Through its Global Fellows program, HRC brings established and emerging LGBTQ leaders to Washington, D.C., for professional development opportunities. This week, HRC is visiting Vietnam to meet with former HRC Global Fellow Thu Le and LGBTQ groups in the country to help develop campaign strategies and raise awareness to end discrimination against LGBTQ people.
HRC also brings advocates from around the world together for the exchange of ideas and practices for advancing LGBTQ equality at HRC’s annual Global Innovative Advocacy Summit. HRC’s global alumni network includes advocates from more than 70 countries,and helps build their individual and organizational capacity through our Global Partnerships program.
IDAHOTB honors the anniversary of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) resolution to declassify same-sex attraction as a mental disorder in 1990. The move followed a similar decision by the American Psychiatric Association in 1973. The WHO’s monumental change created a shift in how many LGBTQ people were treated. In 2004, LGBTQ activists gathered for the first time to mark this date with rallies in support of equality. The anniversary is now marked by celebrations, governmental proclamations, and renewed efforts to end the discrimination and violence that LGBTQ people throughout the world still face.
