Along with the thoughtful comments, several out Nashville musicians welcomed TJ to the LGBT country club.

"Well done, T.J. Osborne. You're nobody's whisper anymore," tweeted Chely Wright, who came out as gay in 2010. "You have just changed and saved a whole lot of lives; chief among them, your own."

"❤️ T.J. Osborne @brothersosborne," tweeted Brandy Clark. Added Brooke Eden, "Love you TJ! Living in truth is the new living in fear."

"Congratulations TJ Osborne. There is nothing that can compare to living your life openly and authentically, and this will make a difference in the lives of so many," tweeted Ty Herndon, who came out in 2014. "Proud of you, man."

In his coming out interview, TJ explained that he told his brother John, 38, he was gay around the time the two moved to Nashville after signing a publishing and record deal.

"He was very open and candid about it, and I was emotional because my brother was finally able to be completely honest with me about who he was," John said in the interview. "If I had to have all my money and success erased for my brother to be truly fulfilled in life, I wouldn't even think about it. Not for a second."

John later shared a video on Instagram, saying it's "an honor to call him my brother" after this important moment in his life.

"I'm very proud of my brother today. He's taken one of the most important steps of his entire life," he said in the video. "And he's doing it in front of the entire world. He's always had my support no matter what. It's an honor to call him my brother."

"He's a beautiful, amazing, human being. So talented, so caring, so giving. It's an honor to have a member of my family be a part of the LGBTQIA community," he added. "Proud of you, TJ. Love you, man."
