Proud of the rainbow! During Maren Morris’ guest appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race, she opened up about the country music industry’s frequent homophobia.
“Coming from country music and its relationship with LGBTQ+ members, I just want to say I’m sorry,” the “Bones” singer, 32, said during the Friday, January 13, episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked while addressing the season 15 competitors. “And I love you guys for making me feel like a brave voice in country music. So, I just thank you guys so much for inspiring me. … I’m gonna cry.”
The Drag Race stars went on to praise Morris for using her platform to advocate for diversity and inclusivity, noting her Friday guest judge role shows that she’s “down” and “can roll” with the LGBTQIA+ community.
The Texas native — who shares son Hayes, 2, with husband Ryan Hurd — has long been an ally, and is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in.
“It was always just very normal,” she told GLAAD in a September 2022 interview, noting she knew many members of the queer community from a young age. “My mom was really close to her uncle growing up, who sadly died in the early ’90s of AIDS. It was just always a conversation in our household that we’re all the same and there is no ‘us’ and ‘you.’ … I definitely feel like it hits closer to home for me now, having a son — and I have gay family members.”
She added at the time: “All I can do going forward with my son is have those same conversations [that I was taught as a kids] so it’s not even a complex or a thing, because it shouldn’t be. I definitely get heated because … we’re talking about people’s lives. I do get extremely emotional when I talk about it.”
Morris had gotten “heated” one month prior after publicly slamming Brittany Aldean

Working parents trudging through the muck of their personal lives and neverending responsibilities tend to make the same mistake: They forget about their children. Laura Moss’ debut film, “birth/rebirth,” forgets the child, too, but for her purposes, this is a feature and not a lapse.
Following in the slipstream of Shudder’s surprise hit Skinamarink, Laura Moss’ birth/rebirth is a similarly non-conforming horror, this time one that prioritizes its intriguing but somewhat underdeveloped conceit above the traditional trappings of its genre. Very loosely inspired by Mary Shelley’s 19th century novel Frankenstein, the film centers on a decidedly post-modern Prometheus: by making its central scientist female rather than male, Moss’ feature debut short-circuits the usual blunt clichés of a crazy scientist bent on defying nature and instead enters the realm of David Cronenberg’s ’80s heyday with its focus on the human anatomy as a battleground for shady ethics.
