Maren Morris Launches New T-Shirt To Support LGBTQ Youth, Speaks Out On Her Commitment To Support The Transgender Community
etcanada.comMaren Morris just launched a new T-shirt in support of trans rights groups, especially LGBTQ youth. Earlier this month, the country superstar raised over $150,000 for transgender awareness after designing a T-shirt inspired by her recent comments amid her feud with Brittany Aldean.
Now, Morris teamed up with GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, to design a new shirt in an effort to raise awareness for the group’s upcoming anti-LGBTQ youth bullying initiative #SpiritDay.
In a new interview with GLAAD’s Anthony Allen Ramos, Morris shared that, at first, putting “lunatic country music person” on a T-shirt felt “so silly” but it was in effort to raise awareness for LGBTQ youth after she was called a “lunatic” for defending trans youth on social media.
It quickly turned into something positive because all of the proceeds she raised went directly to charity — GLAAD’s Transgender Media Program and Trans LifeLine.
