A Vocal Advocate for LGBTQ+ Rights
Between 2022 and 2023, Morris has been outspoken about her disagreements with certain stances within the country music industry, especially those involving anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric promoted by conservatives and echoed by some country artists. Her advocacy includes calling out Brittany Kerr Aldean for a transphobic post, feuding with Fox News, donating $100,000 to trans advocacy organizations, and speaking against Tennessee’s anti-drag laws.
Standing Up for the Community
Morris has organized benefit concerts to support the fight against drag bans and has shown solidarity with gay country singer Adam Mac after he withdrew from a music festival due to homophobia. Her actions have established her as a strong ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
Welcoming Morris to the LGBTQ+ Family
With her recent announcement, Morris is now celebrated not only as a formidable ally but also as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. We are thrilled to welcome her and applaud her for her continued support and for embracing her authentic self.
Thank you, Maren Morris, for your unwavering support and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community. Your courage to live your truth makes this Pride Month even more special. Happy Pride !
