Country Star Tyler Childers Releases Music Video About Gay Love In Rural America

A new video by country music singer Tyler Childers tells a tragic gay love story, and country fans say it’s breaking their heart and “making grown men cry.” The video for “In Your Love” shows two coal miners working in Appalachia who quickly fall in love and buy a farmhouse together. They are played by "Arrow" star Colton Haynes and "You" star James Scully. They support each other through homophobic attacks they encounter on the job and in their rural town, but the story turns tragic when one of them falls ill — presumably from working conditions in the coal mines. Childers – who is married to fellow singer Senora May – choosing this subject matter for his video takes on significant meaning in the current climate, when country music as a genre is at a crossroads in terms of redefining its identity and deciding how inclusive it wants to be. #Queer Up Entertainment
