Kevin Bacon Goes Viral With Pro-Drag Video, Gets Trashed In Comments: ‘Another Virtue-Signaling Celebrity’

Kevin Bacon is taking a stand against legislation that would prohibit drag shows in front of children. The actor and his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, posted a video of themselves dancing to Taylor Swift’s “Karma” while wearing t-shirts that read, “Drag is an art and drag is a right.” In the video’s caption, Bacon urges his followers to support the ACLU Drag Defense Fund and protect creative expression. The legislation, which has been introduced in multiple states, would limit sexually explicit drag performances to adults-only audiences. Critics argue that the legislation is necessary to protect children from age-inappropriate behavior, while supporters of drag shows say that the bills are an attack on the LGBTQIA+ community. Other celebrities, including Lizzo, have also spoken out against the legislation.
