Country star Maren Morris declares anti-LGBTQ+ lawmakers have ‘lost in the court of public opinion’

Speaking to LGBTQ+ advocacy group GLAAD in the wake of her performance at LGBTQ+ benefit concert Love Rising, in Nashville, Tennessee, country icon Maren Morris denounced the wave of anti-LGBTQ+ bills being pushed by conservative lawmakers across America that is targeting the rights of gay and trans people and drag performers.

“[Anti-LGBTQ legislators] know that we’ve already won, and that is why they are being so negative and harmful,” she declared.

“They know that they have lost in the court of public opinion, in the court of love.”

The state recently became the first in the US to ban drag performances in public or wherever they can be seen by a minor, although the law has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge. maren morris tshirt

While on stage at Love Rising, which was described as “a celebration of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” Morris demanded that Tennessee officials “arrest her” after she proudly told the crowd that she had introduced her son to a drag queen.
