>Entertainment Tonight Talks With Chely Wright At GLSEN’s Media and Safe Schools Summit

>During GLSEN’s second annual media summit July 22-25, Entertainment Tonight visited with Chely Wright to discuss how life has changed for the country music star since coming out in May, as well as her partnership with GLSEN. During the summit, a diverse group of 18 Student Ambassadors from around the country shared their stories with Chely and learned more about how they can make an impact in their schools and communities using multimedia tools like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. Some of the Student Ambassadors even had the opportunity to speak on camera with ET, making their Ambassadorship debut just a day into the summit!

Check out what Chely and some of our GLSEN Student Ambassadors had to say in the clip below.
