COUNTRY music sweetheart Beccy Cole has decided to reveal her sexuality to set an example to her son "that to be yourself is the most important thing in the world".
Cole said she was inspired to use the opportunity to come out as a lesbian on Australian Story tonight by her 13-year-old son Rikki.
"While you can have your privacy and all that, there are certain times and certain issues where I want to set an example to him," she said.
"I have never hidden who I am from him.
"What started me thinking about revealing this more publicly was he was bringing a friend home and said 'Don't worry mum, I haven't said anything'.
"My 13-year-old son was trying to protect me.
"It's such a crucial time for him and he needs to see his mum standing up."
Cole said she came to the realisation she was gay when she split with her musician husband Mike Albeck when Rikki was six-months-old.
The pair remain good friends and he also appears in the Australian Story episode, along with her best friend Kasey Chambers.
As for her fans, Cole said she hoped her revelation did not change their regard for her music.

I don’t condemn homosexuals anymore than I condemn meth heads. I know patriotic meth heads. But do I trust them or want to be around them? Nope. Same is true here.
She probably is nice to dogs as well. That is fine by itself, but doesn’t make her homosexuality acceptable. Nor does it make me approve of public announcements about sexuality.
I feel sorry for her kid, regardless of her views on entertaining troops. Of course, with the modern US military, she could probably get some of the troops to openly join her in homosexual acts on stage, and Obama would give her a big thumbs up...
YOu has a smell.
...Knocking within. Enter a Porter
Porter
Here’s a knocking indeed! If a
man were porter of hell-gate, he should have
old turning the key.
Knocking within
Knock,
knock, knock! Who’s there, i’ the name of
Beelzebub? Here’s a farmer, that hanged
himself on the expectation of plenty: come in
time; have napkins enow about you; here
you’ll sweat for’t.
Knocking within
Knock,
knock! Who’s there, in the other devil’s
name? Faith, here’s an equivocator, that could
swear in both the scales against either scale;
who committed treason enough for God’s sake,
yet could not equivocate to heaven: O, come
in, equivocator.
Knocking within
Knock,
knock, knock! Who’s there? Faith, here’s an
English tailor come hither, for stealing out of
a French hose: come in, tailor; here you may
roast your goose.
Knocking within
Knock,
knock; never at quiet! What are you? But
this place is too cold for hell. I’ll devil-porter
it no further: I had thought to have let in
some of all professions that go the primrose
way to the everlasting bonfire.
Knocking within
Anon, anon! I pray you, remember the porter.
Opens the gate....
MACBETH, Act II Scene 3....
The last time I saw a mouth like that it was chewing on weeds through a metal grate fence.
Even Elton John admitted that he was sad that his kid would never have a Mom.
“before she realized her sexuality”
WHAT?
Before she realized her sexuality? After she had a son she discovers she is a lezbo?
So, one day she wakes up and said, “Darn, now I remember, I am a lezbo. I knew something was nagging at the back of my mind.”
Look, she sang a wonderfully moving song. I applaud her for it. She is a good singer. Now, as it has been said before, “shut-up and sing.” The rest is irrelevant.
Never heard of her. Too busy clinging to my guns and religion after having not built my business.
It means you are a god unto yourself, therefore if it feels good do it.
Specifically, we must judge:
You can judge matters of taste and preference to some extent --- that's why they have cook-offs, art shows and county fairs.
Things you can't and shouldn't judge, are
This business about "the most important thing is to be true to yourself" is a bit of nonsense, though. Everyone has some sound healthy tendencies, and some pahetically disordered tendencies. To "be true to" your disordered tendencies is a bad idea.
I take it she's pretty young. She's probably no worse --- quite possibly a lot better ---than I was at that age. I wish her the best.
What ever happened to folks just keeping their private lives private. Everyone has to stand in front of a crowd and make some chic, iconoclastic statement.
I hope you made at least nickle off that bumper sticker I just bought!
Me too
You are just being a busybody.
Well said!

Well said. Nobody is perfect. Praise her when she does right, politely criticize her for a publicly stated wrong.
What a waste of good old attractive female. She’s way too cute to be a Lesbo. I wouldn’t mind trying to change her ‘orientation’ back to the original default and run some check tests. (:
Why is it accepted that somebody who has lived as a hetero woman can suddenly decide she’s lesbian, but somebody who is homo is “born that way” and cannot change?
And you're advocating homo Americanism?
Come to think of it, you has a smell too.
Homosexuality is a threat to the entire society.
No society that has accepted it as normal as survived-period.
