Dolly Parton wants to support her gay fans by making an album they can "relate" to. The veteran singer revealed her plan to record a dance LP focused on LGBT pride during a conference call last week, DigitalSpy reported.

"At some point I would like to do a dance record and I have several songs that are very positive towards the gay community," she said. "I have a song called 'Just a Wee Bit Gay'. It's a great little dance tune, it's funny and it's got a lot of comic in it."

"I do write a lot of songs along those lines with people that are different and are just themselves," she added.

Editors' Pick

Parton is an LGBT icon who's been voicing her support for same-sex marriage. "I don't want to be controversial or stir up a bunch of trouble, but people are going to love who they are going to love. I think gay couples should be allowed to marry. They should suffer like us heterosexuals," she said in an April interview with U.K.'s Event magazine.

Earlier this year, the 68-year-old country star released her latest album "Blue Smoke". To support the LP, she embarked on her "Blue Smoke World Tour" that was wrapped up earlier this week.
