Actor Kevin Bacon recently spoke out against the anti-drag bills that have been introduced in many states across the U.S. In an Instagram story, Bacon gave a shoutout to RuPaul’s Drag Race and praised their recent “Wigloose” Rusical. The Rusical, which was inspired by Footloose, featured stunning performances from various queens, including Loosey LaDuca as Heaven Bacon, who received a special shoutout from Bacon himself.
Bacon declared that drag is not only an art but a right, and it seems he is not alone in this sentiment. Fans of Drag Race are already hailing “Wigloose” as one of the best Rusicals of all time, thanks to the queens’ stellar performances. Anetra was ultimately named the winner of the maxi challenge, but all of the queens received praise from the judges.
Bacon’s outspoken support for the drag community is a welcome addition to the ongoing conversation about the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals. With anti-LGBTQ+ legislation continuing to be introduced in various states, it is important for allies like Bacon to use their platform to speak out against discrimination.
Overall, “Wigloose” serves as a reminder of the power of drag as an art form and as a means of self-expression for many LGBTQ+ individuals. As Bacon noted, drag is a right that should be protected and celebrated. It is up to all of us to stand with the LGBTQ+ community and fight for their rights, both on and off the stage.
