"I'm just a Backwoods Barbie in a pushup bra and heels/I might look artificial, but where it counts I'm real/And I'm all dolled up and hopin' for a chance to prove my worth."

Still, it isn't just the diva factor that will have gay fans out in droves when Parton performs at the Fox Theatre on April 29. Country music may be known for its redneck roots, but Parton is outspoken in her support for gay marriage and her work on a transgender movie, and even jokes about the lesbian rumors that have surrounded her for years.

Dolly is a superstar.  She is far more than country music.
