Watch: Charlize Theron Vows to 'F--- Anybody Up' who Messes with Drag Artists

Actor Charlize Theron, appearing on the "Drag Isn't Dangerous" telethon, threw down the gauntlet in defense of the venerable, but embattled, theatrical art form.

"We love you queens," the "Mad Max: Fury Road" star, 47, declared via video, Variety reported. Surrounded by supporters, Theron added: "We're in your corner, and we've got you, and I will fuck anybody up who's trying to fuck with anything with you guys."

Growing more serious, Theron zeroed in on one of the most glaring facets of the wave of anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-drag laws sweeping the country's Republican-led state legislatures: the way such laws purport to offer a "solution" where no credible problem exists.

"There are so many things that are hurting and, really, killing our kids, and we all know what I'm talking about right now and it ain't no drag queen," the actor said. "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."

The Oscar-winning "Monster" star went on to encourage her audience to "support all the great organizations that are out there helping all of this nonsense go away like it should – all of these incredibly stupid policies. Bye! No more room for hate, only love, and love equals drag queens!"

The May 7 telethon drew more than half a million dollars for LGBTQ+ causes, Rolling Stone reported.

"Charlize is a big advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, in general, but it's also personal," TMZ noted. "Her 11-year-old adopted daughter, Jackson, was born male before identifying as female ... which Charlize has fully supported."

Theron's words "come amid a state of unrest for the drag community in the United States, where Tennessee recently became the first state to pass legislation restricting drag shows," People Magazine detailed.

"The law, which was signed March 2, bans the performances on both public property as well as 'in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.'"

Theron's spirited message is just one of many defiant expressions of resistance to record-breaking numbers of anti-LGBTQ+ measures, many of which target transgender youth.

"In February, the American Civil Liberties Union tracked a record number of 349 bills targeting LGBTQ rights in the U.S. (a number that has since climbed to 474)," People Mag recalled, "causing 'RuPaul's Drag Race' stars to speak out at a viewing event that month celebrating the episode milestone."

People Mag went on to quote "Drag Race" Season 15 champion Sasha Colby, who called out "anti-trans bills being disguised as anti-drag bills."

"You know what we're not gonna do?" Colby continued. "We're not gonna let them take us down. We're going to keep doing what we need to do. Because you know what? Drag is for us, and drag is art."

Mother Ru herself uttered an enduring slogan when, in March, the superstar drag artist said that the GOP's focus on homophobic and anti-drag laws is a "classic distraction technique, distracting us away from the real issues that they were voted into office to focus on," and declared, "Drag queens are the Marines of the queer movement."
