LGBTQ+ groups and drag performers suing the state argued Monday that Senate Bill 12 violates constitutionally-protected rights. The new law is set to go into effect on Friday unless a federal judge blocks it.
This feels so stupid. There are people out there that really want to ban such shows? It’s an art like any other. What’s next, ban street mimes? Make improv ilegal?
It’s part of the Republicans’ strategy to stir up trans panic and use it as a wedge issue. Drag is only tangentially connected to trans people but their voters don’t know that.
I mean, wankers like Lawrence Fox and Calvin Robinson are trying to push all this stuff in the UK, but it doesn’t seem to be picking up as much steam as in the US.
What an asshole! Hilarious though that he ran for mayor and, in spite of having the name recognition of being an actor from a prominent family, he didn’t even get enough votes for his deposit to be refunded 🤣
Who is banning such shows?
Nay, why, let’s all also make lap dances and pole dancing available to kids in school. Sure they are art forms and first amendment applies there too. /s

Men portrayed women for thousands of years until western societies began allowing female actors join their troupes.
In the UK, it’s still traditional for a bloke to play a female character comedicly in Pantomimes each Christmas.
Imagine even suggesting drag be banned in the UK. Even the church would be saying, “what about Widow Twankey?!”

Now that women can play women, we don’t need that anymore.
I mean they’re already implementing what is next: Making it illegal to look/be trans in public

I might be in favor of that one…

Not ban, just make sure if you have adult content only adults can attend. Simple as that
That is already the case.
