Maren Morris slams “save the children” rhetoric after she received hate comments for supporting drag performers
Maren Morris has come to the defense of drag queens once again — sharing why she brings her toddler to family-friendly drag shows.
The “My Church” singer later clapped back at a homophobic comment on social media from a user maligning those who take their children to events where there are drag queens, even if those events are age-appropriate. “If you’re making the ‘exposure to children’ argument, there are a lot of gowns in Catholicism, makeup and powdered wigs in theatre historically worn by only men, Mrs. Doubtfire that charmed our childhoods… the list goes endlessly on,” she continued. “Drag is centuries-long performance art and some drag is only for adults. The performance I referenced in this interview was a charity all-ages show to protest the unlawful drag ban in Tennessee that was rightfully overturned.
“Yes, I introduced my son to some drag queens today,” the songstress said to the crowd during her March 2023 performance. “So, Tennessee, f–king arrest me.”
