“Well done @MarenMorris it’s when you selflessly carry another’s burden that you truly reflect Gods love. Way to not tolerate disgusting behavior. It’s hard…but good to see this hidden divide exposed in country music – let your light shine,” music star Brandi Carlile tweeted in support of her The Highwomen bandmate.

“Advocating child genital mutilation under the guise of love and calling it ‘gender-affirming care’ is one of the worst evils. Some parents want to be accepted by society so badly that they are willing to make life-changing decisions . for their children who are not old enough to fully understand the consequences of those actions. Love is protecting your child until they are mature enough as adults to make their own decisions about life.” –Brittany Aldean during the fracas

“It’s bad when Karens try to hide their homophobia/transphobia behind ‘child protection’. Weren’t they putting their kids in Biden-is-a-pedo shirts on social media? Sounds like a real safe way to protect them from millions of eyes!” -Maren Morris

“Scoring quick points by picking on trans kids is not brave at all. And I’m proud of Mare for standing up for them. The badge of honor [Candace Owens] engage in perfectly normal discourse as well. Shut up and sing only applies to those you disagree with. Causing many people to tell me our career is over, like the last time she talked about something she disappeared. Honestly, we are very good here. The trips are good, we have a 2 year old daughter that we love, we are doing well, and I promise she won’t throw up now. And on another note, I always support and love Mare, I know I’m rare on the internet, but I’m proud of her and always will be. For everything she stands for, I do too. Ready to relax together and enjoy our little one. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.” -Ryan Hurd, singer-songwriter husband of Maren Morris

In a message to Maren Morris and Cassadee Pope, “Queer Eye” star Jonathan Van Ness tweeted, “I want to see allies and be clear intersex kids, who make up at least 2% of all kids, face genital mutilation to enforce cisgender norms every day. While we’re at it. Trans youth under 18 almost never have gender-affirming surgery. If they do, and it’s a big if – it’s with parental consent and very doctors. Hormone blockers and hormone blockers are reversible. let’s stop the transphobic nonsense.”

“Waking up glad my parents didn’t raise me to be as rude and mean as @brittanyaldean. I’d also like to say that LGBTQ people have clearer skin no matter what she pushes.” – singer-songwriter Joy Oladokun
