During a press conference to promote her Blue Smoke world tour, country legend Dolly Parton expressed her interest in ditching the cowboy boots for platforms so she can disco with her loyal gay fan base.

“At some point I would like to do a dance record, and I have several songs that are very positive towards the gay community,” Parton said. “I have a song called ‘Just a Wee Bit Gay.’ It’s a great little dance tune, it’s funny and it’s got a lot of comic in it. I do write a lot of songs along those lines with people that are different and are just themselves.”
