Lee has 10 days to sign the bill into law, but that countdown doesn’t start until top legislative leaders send him the legislation, which can take a few days.
Tennessee’s action follows a recent bill signing by Arkansas’ governor of new restrictions on “adult-oriented” performances. That bill originally targeted drag shows but was scaled back following complaints it discriminated against the LGBTQ community.Article content “Drag is a longstanding, celebratory form of entertainment and a meaningful source of employment for many across the state,” Human Rights Campaign Legal Director Sarah Warbelow said in a statement last week. “Yet, rather than focus on actual policy issues facing Tennesseans, politicians would rather spend their time and effort misconstruing age-appropriate performances at a library to pass as many anti-LGBTQ+ bills as they can.
Awesome job Tennessee!!
Ban them in schools. It’s adult entertainment.
These drag shows should only be allowed in prisons!
Yes please do the right thing Ban it all
I'm so glad I'm not a father these days......
What a load is sanctimonious horse shit and a complete and utter waste of taxpayer time and money. If this has you up in arms, your fears have nothing to do with drag how’s, or even drag queens.
You approve of drag shows for underage children
About damn time.
Send the freak show to Mars.
It’s sad this has become necessary due to the parents, educators and adults among us that can no longer be trusted to put the health, safety and well-being of children first.
