In less than 12 hours, the tweet has had over 11k comments. Many have thanked Bacon for highlighting the issue and showing support.
On TikTok, the original video has racked up over a quarter of a million likes.Since the start of the year, several states have debated legislation reclassifying drag as “adult” cabaret, and banning any such performances from venues where it might be seen by children.Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed such a law in February.
Florida has also sent similar legislation to the desk of Governor Ron DeSantis. It has already prompted one Florida Pride organization to cancel its 2023 parade, to avoid the risk of prosecution.However, not everyone applauded Bacon.
