\n\tMaren Morris has<\/span> been a staunch supporter of LGBTQ+ issues, and she’s staying true to that commitment. On Friday, after she appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race<\/em> as a guest judge, the \u201cBones\u201d singer shared a public apology for country music’s treatment of LGBTQ+ people.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cComing from country music and its relationship with LGBTQ-plus members, I just want to say I’m sorry,\u201d Morris said as she joined the queens backstage during the post-Drag Race<\/em> episode of untucked<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI love you guys for making me feel like a brave voice in country music,\u201d she added. \u201cI just want to thank you guys for inspiring me. I’m gonna cry I need to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tAfter the sweet message, drag queen Mistress Isabelle Brooks thanked her for coming on the show. \u201cJust you being here shows you’re an ally. Thank you,\u201d Brooks said.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI love hearing Maren share her story because a lot of times with country artists, they can’t really express their more progressive ideals,\u201d Spice added. \u201cJust her being here shows she’s down to roll with the LGBT.\u201d (Was that a CupcakKe reference, Spice?)<\/p>\n

\n

\tBefore the show, Morris said she would be fulfilling a \u201cdecade-long dream\u201d of guest-judging on the show. <\/p>\n

\n

\tThe country singer, who has partnered with GLAAD in the past, has long advocated for LGBTQ+ rights. Several months ago, she publicly called out Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany for making a post that reeked of transphobia, saying she was thankful for her parents \u201cnot changing my gender.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tAt the time, Morris wrote back, \u201cSucks when Karens try to hide their homophobia\/transphobia behind their ‘protectiveness of the children.’\u201d At the time, Aldean hatefully equated transitioning with \u201cgenital mutilation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe timing of her Drag Show<\/em> appearance was perfect. Drag queen Loosey LaDuca impersonated a God version of Dolly Parton (and did so flawlessly), and Sasha Colby, the only trans competitor this season, won the episode’s comedy-acting competition after making RuPaul cackle.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI have loved this show for so many years and it’s crazy how far Drag Race<\/em> has come because you all look like you’re walking on the finale right now,\u201d Morris told the queen.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cAbsorb as much as you can,\u201d she added. \u201cLearn from your sisters here in the Werk Room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tAfter the second week of competition, the Drag Race<\/em> cast is down to 14 members following the elimination of Princess Poppy, who lip-synced for her life against Amethyst. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
