Theron, whose adopted son identifies as female, praised drag queens and suggested she would have it out with anybody going after them. The event aimed to combat the recent rash of laws seeking to prevent children from seeing drag performances, with Tennessee becoming the first state to explicitly ban drag shows in public spaces. Other states, including Kentucky, Texas, and Missouri, have introduced similar anti-drag bills.
