In 1973, Lavender Country produced the first known gay-themed record in country music.
Nearly 50 years later they are just as gay and radicalized as ever.
It's crazy to think that just recently Lavender country and Patrick Haggery have remerged to a community he spent his life fighting for.
After his duet with drag royalty/folk artist Trixie Mattel and being credited as an influence by homos like Orville peak. Lavender Country is being recognized as a pivotal part of queer music history. Continuing to bring the anti-fascist truth to the youth while still pissing just as many folks off as back in '73.
I don't think Patrick could do it any other way.
