Is blake shelton gay
Don’t speak? Gwen Stefani can’t help it as she opens up about her latest release – the “record that saved my life.”
Featuring a multitude of diary-like outpourings akin to Gavin Rossdale, whom the No Doubt frontwoman divorced in 2015 after 13 years of marriage, “This Is What the Reality Feels Like” is Stefani’s third solo album and first since 2006’s “The Sweet Escape.”
“It’s so therapeutic to chat about it,” she says the night before the album’s release. “And I hope it saves some other lives. I really, really truly do expect that. That’s the message I wanna give.”
During our candid tell-all, Stefani also talked about her gay besties who “made me gaze pretty when I didn’t feel pretty,” being a (mostly) respected woman in a man’s earth and how she and boyfriend Blake Shelton hang with the same “big posse” of gays.

Most of my queer friends are talented, close people who work with me: my hairdresser, my makeup artist. Those are probably my two closest lgbtq+ friends, and what I love about them is how unique they are and how spirited they are and how tale

GLAAD Targets ‘Voice’ Judge Blake Shelton for ‘Anti-Gay’ Tweet
GLAAD is calling on country singer Blake Shelton, a judge on NBC’s The Voice, to apologize after a violent, anti-gay Tweet was sent from his Twitter account overnight.
Shelton apparently had been Tweeting about re-writing lyrics to the Shania Twain song, “Any Man of Mine”.
The first lyrics are: “Any man of mine better walk the line – Better show me a teasin’ squeezin’ pleasin’ kinda time.”
But on his Twitter page Shelton wrote: “Re-writing my fav Shania Twain song.. Any dude that tries Touching my behind He’s gonna be a thrashed, bleedin’, heaving kind of guy…”
GLAAD says that for a judge on one of the most gay-friendly reality shows on television to make a joke to his 300-thousand-plus followers about leaving a gay man “beaten, bleeding and heaving” is completely unacceptable. The group adds, “One has to wonder how Shania feels about seeing her anthem about strong women and female empowerment turned into a vicious threat.”
The group has already called the s
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Territory star Blake Shelton apologized on Twitter for offending people with his language, but denied being hateful after several old tweets referencing gays and non-English speakers surfaced online.
Screenshots of years-old tweets posted on his Twitter account, which he controls, prompted criticism online that "The Voice" judge was sexist to women and stereotyped gay people and non-English speakers.
Shelton posted a note Wednesday saying he has no tolerance for hate of any gentle, but said that his humor could be at times "inappropriate and immature." A representative for Shelton did not immediately refund an email seeking clarification and a Twitter emissary said they don't comment about individual accounts.
Gay rights nonprofit GLAAD asked him in 2011 to apologize for a tweet they called a joke about anti-gay violence.
