Renowned guitarist Tom Morello, celebrated for his work with Rage Against the Machine, has consistently demonstrated unwavering support for the LGBTQ+ community through his public statements and social media presence.
In June 2023, Morello marked Pride Month by sharing a humorous and inclusive image of the General Lee car from “The Dukes of Hazzard” — but instead of the original Confederate flag, the vehicle was adorned with a rainbow Pride flag. Alongside the image, he wished his followers a happy Pride, showcasing his advocacy through both creativity and visibility.
Morello has also spoken out in support of transgender youth. He posted a message declaring solidarity with trans kids across the country, using the hashtag #ProtectTransKids to raise awareness about the challenges they face.
Additionally, the guitarist has voiced criticism of legislative actions that claim to protect LGBTQ+ youth while potentially infringing on their rights or access to information. He has urged lawmakers to listen to LGBTQ+ voices rather than impose harmful restrictions under the guise of protection.
Tom Morello’s outspoken stance continues a long tradition of combining his activism with his artistry, using his platform to promote equality, inclusion, and justice for marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals.
