Musician Maren Morris comes out as bisexual
Singer Maren Morris came out as bisexual in an Instagram post on Sunday, saying that she is “happy to be the B in LGBTQ+,” along with some pictures from her Phoenix, Arizona show, including some showing her holding a pride flag.
The “My Church” singer has not spoken about her sexuality publically before, and she recently divorced her husband, Ryan Hurd, citing “irreconcilable” differences.

Morris has been a fierce advocate for LGBTQ+ rights even before coming out. She was a Drag Race judge and won GLAAD’s Excellence in Media award, the first country artist to do so. After Tennessee restricted drag performances, Morris said onstage that she introduced her young son to drag queens.
“I introduced my son to some drag queens today so Tennessee f**kin’ arrest me,” Morris said during a benefit that raised money to oppose anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.
When fellow country star Jason Aldean’s wife, Brittany Kerr Aldean, made transphobic comments, Morris spoke out against her, angering disgraced white supremacist and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Carlson called her a “lunatic” and a “fake country singer,” which Morris got made onto a shirt and sold, splitting the money between two transgender support organizations. Morris raised over $100,000.
Morris also left the country music genre entirely, saying it was due to the racism, bigotry, and homophobia that she saw firsthand.
“Country music is a business, but it gets sold, particularly to young writers and artists who come up within it, as almost a god. It kind of feels like indoctrination,” Morris said in an interview with the LA Times, “if you truly love this type of music and you start to see problems arise, it needs to be criticized. Anything this popular should be scrutinized if we want to see progress.”
