LGBTQ advocates and musicians have hailed the new video for Tyler Childers' song "In Your Love" as a much-needed portrait of inclusivity.
The song is the first from Childers' upcoming album "Rustin' in the Rain" (out Sept. 8) and chronicles devotion to a loved one. The twist the video delivers is that the love story is between two men who fall in love in 1950s rural Appalachia, face attacks from co-workers at a coal mine, and then move together to tend a farm.
The video, which stars Colton Haynes ("Teen Wolf," "Arrow") and James Scully ("You," "Fire Island") as the two coal miners, lands amid controversy over another new country music video, Jason Aldean's "Try That In A Small Town."
CMT pulled Aldean's video after many criticized it and the song for touting gun violence and lynching – and viewers noting some scenes were filmed at the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, where an 18-year-old Black man named Henry Choate was lynched in 1927.
