Maren Morris declares herself ‘happy to be the B’ — bisexual — in Pride Month’s LGBTQ+ family. Last fall, the singer left country music, then left her husband.
Maren Morris is out and proud this June.
“Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+,” the singer captioned an Instagram post Sunday that featured her waving a miniature Pride Progress flag onstage at a concert in Phoenix.
Though this is the first time “The Middle” singer has said she’s a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Morris has been a staunch advocate for gay rights and inclusion throughout her career — even going so far as to leave country music over discrimination she said she saw from her fellow musicians.
In 2023, she told The Times that she was leaving her original genre because of the industry’s unwillingness to open its doors to people of color and queer people.
“I thought I’d like to burn it to the ground and start over,” she said. “But it’s burning itself down without my help.”
Morris has felt that fire firsthand.
