'Ultimate cringe': Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick slammed for posting video in support of drag queens

A user remarked, 'Hey Kevin, why don’t you start auditioning for roles made for women?'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'They/Them' actor Kevin Bacon has added his name to the growing number of celebrities who are speaking out in support of drag queens. The 64-year-old released a video of himself and Kyra Sedgwick getting down on Twitter in support of the ACLU's campaign against prohibitions on drag queens.

Actors' Equity Association (AEA) is taking part in the legal battle against Tennessee's "Drag Ban." Early in March, Governor Lee signed this bill into law; it prohibits "adult cabaret entertainment" on public land and in places where it might be seen by minors. Additionally, it extends the definition of "adult cabaret entertainment" to include "male or female impersonators," as per LV.
