Drag Star's Doc: Open Minds Needed for LGBTQ+ Rights

A documentary created and starring RuPaul's Drag Race UK's Simon Wegrzyn, known as Copper Topp, aims to foster understanding of the LGBTQ+ community. Titled 'Living Out Loud,' the film is now available on Amazon Prime. Wegrzyn, who also lectures at the University of Gloucestershire, expressed a strong desire for viewers outside the LGBTQ+ community to watch with an open mind.

He stated the film delves into the reasons behind the UK's significant drop in European LGBTQ+ rights, from first to 22nd place in just ten years. Wegrzyn believes that by combining personal narratives with wider social and political contexts, the documentary can encourage empathy and reduce fear. The film features experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals from across the UK.
