this legislation, and i m talking about the drag bill first, the sponsor says it s not targeting drag performers, it s not banning public drag performances. instead, and i wrote this down, making sure children are not present at sexually explicit performances, sexually explicit has a legal definition from the department of justice, but do you interpret this as banning public drag performances? absolutely. and thank you for having me, victor. absolutely. this is just another bill in a long line of bills that are just an assault on the queer community here in tennessee. this bill absolutely is intended to criminalize drag in public spaces. this is not about children. some people may know about
This bill was filed by Republican lawmakers in November, and targets both drag and cabaret performers. It really focuses on if kids are able to see these performances.
