Charlize Theron has threatened to "f*** up" anybody who criticizes drag queens while speaking at an event that opposes the controversial laws that stop kids from viewing drag shows. As reported by the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12070831/Actress-Charlize-Theron-threatens-f-conservatives-worried-drag-queens.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>, Tennessee became the first state to pass a law that meant that drag shows could not be performed in public places. Other anti-drag bills have been passed in 14 states including Texas and Kentucky as conservatives up and down the country seek to ban what they deem to be harmful. While there is no evidence that drag shows are harmful to children, that hasn't stopped people up and down the country campaigning against them. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263210926" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/05/2K7WJXX-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1715" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| Charlize Theron has been a long-time supporter of drag queens and trans rights.

Amongst the celebrities supporting the rights of drag queens was Charlize Theron, known for her work in Mad Max and Atomic Blonde. Theron didn't pull any punches with her time in front of the camera, as she appeared to suggest that she would go toe to toe with anybody who attempted to silence drag queens. "We love you, queens! We're in your corner, and we've got you, and I will f*** anybody up who is, like, trying to f*** with anything with you guys," Theron said. She continued: "In all seriousness, there are so many things that are hurting and really, killing our kids right, and we all know what I'm talking about right now." The star was referencing the gun violence that plagues the USA, with the <a href="https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gun Violence Archive</a> registering that there have been 210 mass shootings in the country in 2023. Her child Jackson - who she adopted in 2012 - is a transgender girl, and Theron has been a vocal supporter of her. "If you've ever seen a drag queen lip sync for her life, it only makes you happier, it only makes you love more. It makes you a better person," Theron continued. "F***, if I could do a death drop right now I would, but I would probably like, break my hip." She concluded by asking people to "support all the great organizations that are out there helping all of this nonsense going away like it should, all of these incredibly stupid policies." In 2019, Theron spoke to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11711109/Charlize-Theron-models-pink-coat-daughter-August-Los-Angeles.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a> about Jackson's gender identity, saying: "Yes, I thought she was a boy, too, until she looked at me when she was three years old and said, I am not a boy!" Theron went on: "So there you go! I have two beautiful daughters who, just like any parent, I want to protect and I want to see thrive. They were born who they are and exactly where in the world both of them get to find themselves as they grow up, and who they want to be, is not for me to decide. "My job as a parent is to celebrate them and to love them and to make sure that they have everything they need in order to be what they want to be. I will do everything in my power for my kids to have that right and to be protected within that." <h6>Featured image credit: Sipa US / Alamy</h6>
