In a new interview with The Huffington Post on Tuesday, Rimes showed her support for the LGBT community by talking about two country stars, Ty Herndon and Billy Gilman, and how they recently opened up about being gay.

She said, "I knew this was all about to happen and [Herndon] actually texted me right before it happened. I'm so proud of him. Ty waited for a very long time in his life and Billy actually has a chance at having a full life as an out, gay man. People should be able to love who they love -- it's as simple as that."

Back in August, Rimes has said that she and her husband Eddie Cibrian are actually a "gay man's wet dream."

She told Pride Source Magazine on August 13, "I've always said that Eddie and I are a gay man's wet dream. I sing, you can look at him, and it's perfect."

Rimes also opens up about the possibility of her husband getting hit on by men in nightclubs.

"I don't think that's ever happened, but I've definitely watched him get looked up and down in every way, shape or form," she said. "It's hysterical seeing these guys freak out over him. For me, I laugh so hard, because Eddie is really pretty cool about it all, but sometimes he can be shy and uncomfortable, and I love to see him in that element. It's completely not his element, but he knows how to work it."
