Kevin Bacon says that he and his wife and fellow actor Kyra Sedgwick tried their best to support their now-adult children as they were figuring out their identities, including their sexuality. But at the kind of camp that is a horrific reality for queer youth — conversion therapy camp. In “They/Them,” Bacon, partly famous for being stalked by Jack on “Will & Grace,” runs the Whistler Camp, a place sold to LGBTQ+ teens as welcoming and inclusive when just the opposite is true.

Kevin Bacon and Carrie Preston, stars of the LGBTQ slasher 'They/Them,' open up about their groundbreaking new movie, set at a gay conversion camp.

On top of helping They/Them get made thanks to his dual role as an actor and executive producer, it looks like Kevin Bacon is further helping the LGBTQ+ community. Namely by helping Born. Kevin Bacon is no stranger to the summer camp slasher film. He famously got an arrow to the neck in Friday the 13th. Now, 42 years later he’s taking on a new and more challenging summer camp.

He is also sharing his own journey of awareness about the real-life horrors of "conversion therapy" in addition to raising funds for the cause, reports 'People'. While the horror movie is scary and at times enjoyably schlocky, the premise is all too real. Providers claim these therapies can make someone heterosexual or 'straight'. But there is no evidence to support it being successful.

He told 'People', "I remember thinking this is not only dumb it's hurtful. To put anyone - especially a young person - through such a shameful, painful process when there is no chance of it working is terrible. Where's the threat? Why is anyone else's sexual orientation your problem? He was inspired by the rest of the cast: "While I was really in the headspace of the character, there was also a part of me that was feeling very moved by the fact that here was this group of our future, of young people who identify in all different kinds of ways, who have come together and are going to be represented in this film in hopefully a way that they haven't often been in the past.

To love who they want to love and marry who they want to marry. That is the backbone of a strong and peaceful society. Updated on: 18 January am. Kevin Bacon. Published At: 11 August pm. Close Ad. US News vs. World News Ceasefire in Gaza?
