"At this point, the court finds that the statute is likely both vague and overly-broad," U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker, an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump, said in a ruling granting a temporary restraining order. Lee had said the law would protect children from being "potentially exposed to sexualized entertainment, to obscenity."
Oh yeah everybody's entitled to their own opinion
Its a sickness
It should be a crime
A man wearing a dress in public is free speech and it protected by the first amendment. That is all there is.
What is the right occasion for a drag show? Can parents guarantee that their children will not see it, and can society prevent drag shows from appearing in front of children
The dollar is collapsing but yea THIS is important
Bunker Sessions Sounds Best Option With The Current Situation
is the Half world STONED or ?
The devil’s army, lost and turned out. Coming for the innocent children. We need straight parades nationwide
Drag IS a crime when it’s performed in front of children .
Your right , grooming children is a crime. Rubbing you body on a child is still a crime. Stay away from children
American economy is being tanked and all media is focused on trans parade....12 months from now, America will be different.
It should be in front of kids
It should be in front of kids and should never be shown in a school.
The west is misse!d up.. I feel sorry for the quality of news you’re watching
Completely agree!! drag is not a crime. Don't really care about the subtle differences between drag, trans, gay or whatever. What I do care about is a man, woman doesn't matter, seductivitly acting out public displays that belong in a strip club not in front of a 7 year old.
is this a crime?
In front of children it is. Same reason kids can’t go to strip clubs or sex shops.
Grown men dressing up like women. What a pathetic national trend. Instead of abortion clinics we need neutering clinics.
There's nothing wrong with public decency laws relegating adult entertainment to closed clubs and rooms.
The way Uncle Milty did it, it was a crime but not against society, but against fashion sense.
It’s an abomination to allow public freak shows in front of children.
But it’s GAYAF
Just perversion, especial if those guys do a drag show for little children and think this is normal.... PS, I like Pr. Putin attitude towards the western crap!
Drag in front of children is digustinhly inappropriate. Quit being slow AF anx trying to twist shit into something else. No one said drag was a crime!
Not a crime. Don't act like strippers in front of children as most do. Creepy and weird.
What a disingenuous headline. Drag performances with children in audience
Good!
Your headline and the facts don't seem to align 'restricting drag in front of minors'
It’s funny how they won’t actually show what it looks like.
Yes it is
TRANS JUDGE. Corrupt Judiciary. SODOM GOMORRAH
Nothing is a crime until a low gets passed making it one. Owning slaves wasn’t a crime until laws were passed to ban the practice.Suckass
It should be when children are involved! I can’t believe this is even debatable. I also can’t believe the media feels it’s ok and is covering it like people against drag in front of kids are the bad guys.
Yes it is
In front of kids I beg to differ

Oh, it is when they target children.
For children⁉️
Drag on public airwaves, FCC! Arrest GMA!!
Drag ain't a crime till you gyrate your sequin covered junk in a three year olds face
Sodomy is a sin that cries to heaven for vengeance.
Keep kids out of it.
Another judge threw a guy in jail for a meme. My opinions of judges are at an all time low.
No but imposing it on children is.
It is a crime against God.
Not a crime, just a freak show..
Wag the dog . Change the story.
Stop pushing this shit!
Eventually, the people are sovereign in the United States
Drag is a crime against the innocent children of our society. Drag is a demonic imposition on all that is normal and right in humanity. It must be stopped.
Drag is for clubs and discos. Stop land grabbing. I don't need to see drag queens in schools to acknowledge their existence.
Then why can't kids go to a strip club
Yes it is a crime.
Demons from the bowels of Hell.
I don't understand the attraction, but what ever. Don't know why parents would bring their kids 🙄.
Reuters is officially defending 'ADULT Cabaret' in public spaces and schools. Are you guys as adamant about promoting ADULT burlesque shows for kids as you are ADULT Cabaret? You should be ashamed.
Not a crime but should be
Perverts, but why children?
Guns are cool, free speech no thanks
why cant ppl just enjoy their life on their own and not rope the world into everything
Absolutely ridiculous. Why does the government feel the need to police how people express themselves? Let drag performers do their thing and let the audience decide if they want to watch or not.
Sure it isn't
It sure the fuck is a crime if you are performing to children.
👍
Wat een reet.
Being a huge tård is not a crime.
ITS A CRIME OF SIN against GOD read Bible GOD LOVES YOU
Sure, it is a crime to put them dancing semi naked in a nursery in front children.
It's a crime.
Doing drags shows in front of pre-pubescent kids is.
Correct, but exposing children to an adult show that is centered around sex and sexuality should be a crime. There is no excuse for a drag show being performed at an elementary school. Zero! What you do as an adult is your business and has no place in our schools.
Drag queens dancing in front of kids is a moral affront and will not be tolerated in Tennessee... get used to it! Nobody wants it... not the kids; and definitely not the parents!!! Time to stop the SICKNESS!!!😡😡😡
Drag is an art form
Time and a place
Is true...the PEDOFILIA,yes.
It’s not a crime for adults, just limit your crowd to the over 21 ppl. Problem solved.
Drag is also not pro-Trans…drag queens are mostly gay men and straight men making a mockery out of trans people. It’s modern day black face against the Trans community. Stop equating drag queens with trans people when there is no relation whatsoever.
Drag racing has been illegal on the streets since the dawn of the automobile... but please 'transplain' to me how an adult man recruiting children into an adult perverted pass time is different than driving a white van with 'Free Candy' on the side?
Drag also doesn't belong around underage children, either. Funny how certain groups keep pushing HARD to make sure those two groups keep coming together.
AndreaLizette18
18 U.S. Code § 2251 - Sexual exploitation of children
When its adults having a good time, no prob. But when they are waving dildos in front of grade schoolers faces or grinding up on a 13 year old..... yes, yes it is.
Groomer judge.
Nobody cares about drag shows for adults. It's when they started involving children that you have to draw a line.
Other such laws have been randomly blocked, only to be upheld on appeal. This one will be as well.
😂 armed citizen is a crime and drag abuse is not. Good job liberal
Is no one really paying attention?
It's a means to a very sadistic end .... pedophilia. This is why 'drag' and anything and anyone it represents should never be condoned. Children are at risk
Nope just sicko's acting out
until you get kids involved....
Sexually charged Drag for little kids in completely unnecessary. That’s the issue people have. Stop pretending people care otherwise.
It's a crime when kids are involved.
A terra da liberdade... 🗽 Que lugar nojento, o dia inteiro pensando em fuzil, fascismo e homofobia.
YOU DO IT IN MY CHILDS SCHOOL AND I WILL BE COMING FOR YOU ?
It IS a crime
Absolutely it’s not, just has no place in certain arenas, like school
It’s nasty!
Drag is not But dropping to floor & spreading legs for a kid, is
Drag is not a crime but not civilized decency
Won't get you into heaven now. An unnatural fetish will get your trip to hell.
I don’t really care what anyone says. It’s a mental disorder to believe like these people do. Behind closed doors dress as you want but why expose children to this unless your intent is to influence them! Which of course that is the intent!
And the diciples ask jesus how would we know when you will come again and jesus said there will be many like the sand and the last days will be like sodoma and gomorah.
Yes it is
When it's adults performing in front of minors it is!
Is child abuse a crime?
Satanism
Tennessee is where the northern mafia would have runners (whiskey) dispose of their enemies never to be seen again. Ran into a couple when I lived there. Just sayin'. If Tennessee says they don't want drag shows, they mean it.
This behavior is a crime against God. The only reason these homosexual miscreants are allowed to run amok is because they are white man dressed in drag, like J Edgar Hoover. WE don't follow immoral laws and will stop anybody who tries to force these laws on our spirit
I’ve attended a few shows and loved it. Had a great time. With that said, I don’t think it would be that entertaining for a Pre-k-5th grade audience. I agree if you have it in a public area, where if you like it, stop and watch. If you don’t, well just go about your business.
Unless you're in Uganda.
Santos can make it in Tenn.
It’s a mental issue.
No one is talking about drag for adults. The crime is the use of drag to sexualize children.
Pedos. Theyre all pedos.
But pedophilia is a crime so why are drag queens so eager to target children?
Playboy in front of children is disgusting. Drag in front of children is also disgusting.
This should be…
No it's not but brainwashing kids into it is !!!
But performing sexually in front of children is. There is difference. Drag is not the issue as you want to make it but sexual exploitation is. It would no different if it was a strip tease
I'm curious what imaginary federal statute this judge use to back up his decision?
When you do drag in front of minors it is
Day of visibility highlights, 4 days after a member of the trans community murdered three 9 year olds and 3 adults
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Drag for adults is not a crime. Drag for children is pedophilia and very illegal, and wrong, and sickening.
Curious why this is suddenly an issue? Like, all of the sudden it's (Drag Queens Gone Wild)with urgency. Yes, we know you're out there. Yes, this has been around since time immemorial. Yes, just like Burlesque performers and pole strippers, it has a time and place, w/out kids.
It's perversion. Our morally bankrupt culture has too much filth in it already. A modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.
It is when it is done in front of children, you demons
Thanks
But shaking your junk in a child's face is child abuse.... 🙄
I would too if i was scared one of them would shoot up my courtroom.
The headline is a gaslight. The law seeks to end drag shows at public venues in front of children. What is the fascination with doing drag burlesque shows in front of kids?
But sexualizing children is.
It really ought to be illegal for perverts to bother children with their nonsense. No one cares who dresses up like what in bars but come on
Yay!
Neither is female stripping. Should it be performed in front of children?
As long as kids aren’t involved, do what you want.
Tennessee has Third-World credentials Tennessee
No one said it was a crime they just don’t want grown men stripping in front of kids
How politically correct of said Judge.
Is dragster a crime?
God save the children, a ton of perverts injuring the children even more.
Not a crime , but a mental problem
Keep your ugly asses away from children!
Public indecency is.
Most of it includes porn so it is
Children shouldn't have access to adult entertainment
They been private since the 1700s . why the phuq need to make it public?
It’s gross and it’s evil when a minor is present.
You have to wonder why drag performers want kids at their performances... I think I have an idea why
mentalillness
It's a crime.
It is when people drag your children to that show.
Good
Nope it’s not a crime, but why is it being introduced into schools while at the same time other more important subjects are being removed or dumbed down or requirements lowered?
Drag queens today are used to encourage the creation of trans and gender non conforming children.
Sexual dance in front of children is against the law though - there are public decency laws - stop forcing the public to partake in your Kink
Yes it is if it is performed in front of minors.
neither are clowns, street entertainers and other freak show acts = inclusion
But yet a drag criminal killed 6 people this week.
Pedophilia IS. Stay away from our children and libraries!
Drag is a sexual performance where jokes of a sexual nature are common. The real question is, why do adult men want to perform this infront of children?
Of course it isnt
Hhhhhhhh man I love this , the USA looks like fucking circus everyday more than before
America must keep up with its psychosis & debates on figuring out what a woman is. Down here we busy getting rid of the $ and weaving a web of how to bypass US economic dominance
Blackface isn't a crime either, but it's not socially acceptable.
Here is what's happening
WOW
Way to go Tennessee
Yeah it’s not a crime 😂
Pedophiles
stop criminals
When did drag become twerking and lap dances. This isn't traditional drag anymore, the innocent days of Dame Edna are long gone. When a groomer appropriates the identity of a person in Drag it doesn't change that they are a groomer and deviant.
😂 Laws against guys in dresses might backfire like Utah looking for a ban on the Bible
'Pervert judge saves his favorite passtime.' Fixed it.
It depends. If I see a 30 year old man, dressed as a woman, twerking his ass and crotch in the face of a three year old, that’s child abuse, pedophilia and if he touches the child, that’s sexual assault. So , yeah, crimes.
Its not but its fkn weird!!
What’s with the left obsession with drag queen shows? Lol
What's with this meme tho?
Drag in front of children is a crime. Sexual acts and exploitations are crimes. Put them on playgrounds and people will finally get it. It’s disgusting and unnerving. It belongs behind walls and doors away from all children, or it needs to go away.
Well up to us. Now
It is when they dance all up and rub they're junk on kids.
Can female strippers perform publicly too?
It certainly isn’t but sometimes it should be
Another example of activist leftist judges interfering with the will of the people. Now you see why Netanyahu is fighting in Israel to get judicial reforms.
Sexual exploitation of children is a crime. Be drag all you want. Leave the kids at home.
Neither are strip clubs, or burlesque shows, but they are all adult entertainment.
American liberals and their puppet media instead of supporting and helping the mental health patients in this country are rather turning them into transgender and drag queens. Drag is evil.
Sexual acts in front of minors is a crime. Drag is fine for adults… why do they want the kids, though? 🤔
it should be
It should be a crime to wiggle you nutsack in front of children… you want to “perform” in front of adults, cool. Leave the kids alone…
It’s just wrong
Public hyper sexuality is immoral
Judge a pedo or groomer
Activist judges interfering in democracy.
Tbh drag shows are suppose to be adult entertainment. It seems like that in many places around the world.
It’s not about crime, just keep it away from kids.
Drag is a sinners
Democrats love drag shows, the party of drag shows for kids
Drag isin't a crime but keep it in ur home. Don't push it on others, just like religion.
Why they want to show this to the children?
It should be a death sentence crime.
Are other forms of adult entertainment still allowed in public spaces?
In the same light, lets reduce babymama pandemic and abortions by legalizing polygamy in westernworld ✌🏾🤌🏽🤪
but dancing and showcasing underage children sexualizing them is immoral
It is when they do this
No drag is an insult
Are drag shows appropriate for children? Is a pro pedophile organization? Seems so!
It is when you're molesting kids in public
They can do what they want to, but stay away from kids. Brainwashing kids with this sht should be classified as child abuse.
It should be a crime if kids see it
Stay away from children!
No, it’s disgusting 🤮
It is a moral crime, and it has no place for public consumption. Perverting and grooming kids no more free speech than me own a nuclear missile claiming the right to bear arms.
Check that judge's home computer.
But pedo are
I agree. If they want to dress as a clown and embarrass themselves in front of a crowd, that's fine. It's the actions and message that needs to be carefully monitored as now it effects others especially developing young minds.
But child grooming is
Why not allow kids at strip clubs?
I’ll just take my kids so we can laugh at them.
Stop sexualising children. It's just wrong.
With Children… is.
Why do drag shows need to be in front of children? What’s the obsession?
Ah, yes. Another win for 1a!
If it’s done in front of small children it should be!
Amazing! Keep the circus within your home.
Republicans railing on the trans community because they have no answers for actual policy issues like guns or healthcare
People should be able to evolve and look how they like. This is the way of things. However, I think a ban on suits and uniforms would make the world a better place.
If they would stop being salacious in front of minors, sure, but they won't. Since they do act like demented whores it is criminal and immoral.
I don’t understand why people insist on exposing young children to drag. What are they trying to accomplish?
In some venues, it 'is' a crime....
Respecting Liberty is one thing. If the public demands decency in form of their demand, a democratic nation should come to an agreement through civil procedures such as elections. Ignoring one side of public and pushing an agenda is dangerous tho.
I have nothing against drag until you start exposing kids to it.
This is the nonsense they want to introduce in Afrika yet even in their own country it's not acceptable.
Let's face it its nothing new is it however if its too raunchy or suggestive that's when problems occur 🤷♂️
It is if you believe in G-D and are Torah observant. Devarim 22:5 SefariaProject
That's what happens when you start messing with our kids
It maybe if they carry an AR 15... 😉
Just like guns don't kill.
No, but it is disgusting! And watching an underage child undress on stage (like 'American young transchildren') is definitely a crime! 😡
What are people acting like any law is going to make drag illegal? That's not even the issue, the issue is how insane people insist on the the grooming and sexualization of young children by grown men stripping and dancing in a sexual manner in front of 8 year olds.Sick People 🤮
Then Kids shouldn't be allowed in their spectacles. Like they are but allowed in many places for their safety and health 360° You don't take a baby to a strip club, neither to a drag show ( it's a sexual cabaret).
You are right, it's a mental illness.
This looks so innocent
Go to Uganda and find out if it isn't a crime.
Ban bibles and guns NOT people!
I say...F....U judge.
It is when you are trying to twist the minds of children.
It doesn't have to be in schools and libraries. That's not the place for it. There is a big difference in clothed drag and very naked drag too.
Drag is repugnant.
Let's flip it. How about scantily clad women dancing provocatively around kids?
Drag shows are fine, if not very entertaining, in the proper setting. But, at the same time, can be lurid and offensive. I guess it depends on what the 'restrictions' are. Certainly not appropriate for children.
And I have that right too . Push that on me it's like being raped . U about to hear words u never thought existed.
Why this obsession with these metally ill people who try to look as women? Let them rot in hell.
Just do it on ur own time don't be pushing that crap on me . I have a loud mouth and I will use it. I don't care about hurting anybody feelings . Let that be known
Women are not saying much about that.... You can't blackface yourself for a show or Halloween but you can feminize a 6 foot 200 pounder....in a kids show..... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
In front of kids it's a crime. Honestly, I'm tired of seeing this drag show shit 24/7 on every platform. Drag all you want just not in front of kids. Especially loser parents that need to 'fit in' taking kids to that nonsense.
Child abuse is. Keep your drag away from minors.
It should be
If it's in front of little kids, then it's a crime.
World is sick.......
It’s a crime on our children!!!
Good Job 🤦 , We Have No Problems, Now Bring Your Childrens To Arabia , Asia or Africa To Raise Them in Beautiful And Peaceful Environment 🌊🌊
Reuters is posting memes now? What a tell. No bias at all right?
It is not a political statement, either. Women wear men's clothes all the time, by the way.
Judiciary is only an equal branch. It doesn't have veto power.
It’s not a crime, it’s a mental illness.
Can't you have a show if you've already stopped it?
Deuteronomy 22:5 “A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.”
No, it's not. Competing in women sports should be
🤬🤬🤬
Grooming is a crime though...
Breach of first amendment or something?
It's false advertising, it's lying, it's perversion, it's evil. What situation calls for a man to pretend to be a woman? A depraved one maybe.
Only Idiots of biblical proportion would criminalize drag while praising weapons of war.
This is a very important problem...are dead three childrens and three persons but for US of 🤡...isn't an important thing. UNITED SHAMELESS of CLOWN
I SEE THE FUTURE, AND ITS BEAUTIFUL , I SEE THE SOLUTION TO ALL OUR PROBLEMS, DRAG SHOWS FOR GUNS RIGHT!
It’s perverted hobby, and will soon be seen as we now view silent movies. Unnecessary and definitely not funny.
Yeah, because we too can be like Canada!
Reuters is posting memes now? What a tell. FakeNews
🤦♂️🤡🤪😜
it's a sickness.
Is drag a crime?
It's not about crime
Good. Over 18 should be in place tho
That is true, but please keep it away from children. Let kids make up their own minds and be kids. Don't need to be swayed by that shit.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Drag around kids needs to be a crime. Idc you do you but don’t do it around kids! (Yes that means public)
Drag might not be a crime but its not for children either. Protect children.
But drag show in front of children should be criminal. You lefties keep twisting words to suit your woke agenda. This is criminal too.
What is?
Just 2 days ago the VP KamalaHarris was in Ghana talking about human rights..Uganda threatened to have aide without over draconian LBGTQ laws...yet here in the USA DragQueens will be jailed for public performances! The HEIGHTS OF HYPOCRISY!!!
stop rubbing your privates on kids
The one thing that keeps us humane & sane enough to perform daily routines is 'normalcy'. Take that away and chaos reigns, ultimately destroying life itself.
Sexual acts in front of children is a crime and it’s pedophilia behavior so stop endorsing it unless you yourself are a pedophile.
Activist Judges have to go, they are a huge scourge on society.
Just stay away from children
No it's not a crime but it sure does not belong in front of a bunch of children when they do their lip singing and sexual provocative motions and movements in front of people that's for adults. If they're doing that kind of stuff in front of kids they need to be arrested!
No it’s not but it has no place in schools. Keep children out.
If it were actual female strippers putting on pole dancing shows for prepubescent children, teaching them about heterosexuality, would that be appropriate? Then, why are Drag shows appropriate?
Drag si shit
I remember when transvestites kept it in adult clubs where normal people didn’t have to see this stuff.
It's a constitutional right.
Mental illness is not a crime. Mental illness requires treatment, not indulgence.
Good! What an absolutely ridiculous law that would have been!
Grooming them kids 🚩
Sachin55476477 Wow! The responses to your Tweet are quite homophobic. America is obviously more afraid of drag queens than they are of all the guns used to kill their own children. Now THAT’S bizarre!
Maybe it should be
Good judge
The law went too far It simply just needed to ban minors from sexually explicit entertainment shows
No, Darg is not a Crime, but it's an abomination
Stop being dishonest and misleading. The restrictions have to do with sexually charged performances in front of children.
This is about racing, right?
Leave the kids alone you IMMORAL Satanists lowlifes
Just wait until these outraged politicians find out about Hooters and Twin Peaks. There's also those deranged child beauty pageants on TV. Gotta protect the kids from groomers, right? But strangely, there's no moral outrage there. I wonder why?
It’s not. Just fucking disgusting. It’s a lifestyle choice. There’s a reason Tigers eat their young, you know what I mean!? (Rhetorical question) However, if I want to see Freak Shows, I’ll watch: the View, The Oscars, Academy Awards, Jimmy Kimmel, WD plus, etc…
Drag is not a crime, but it can be a part of one...
Yes, it’s a sick event.
Drag is a crime due to its implications to teach the youth negative aspects of female sexuality. It mocks women mainly-God’s greatest gift to humanity. It imposes negative views on men in how a woman is to conduct herself. She’s humiliated, a slut, stupid.
WGWD: Wonder what George would do. lol
That's a woman's image.
Showing sexually charged drag shows to children should be
It’s not a crime, it only makes everyone want to puke 🤢😷
Should also ban beauty pageants, they are really creepy.
Good
Republican politicians don't even run on policy anymore, just nonstop anti-'woke' culture war nonsense, so it makes sense they're going back to their old method of fearmongering and scapegoating LGBTQ people for moral panic points. Keep kids away from nsfw, but leave queens alone
LeaveTheKidsAlone
Indoctrinating children is a crime against humanity.
So much outrage over what are basically clowns putting on a comedy show. Oh the horror.
GAonMyMind99 It’s not a crime but it is a mental illness issue
Children must be protected. However this law is very vague and someone can be arrested just for wearing a wig.
Drag is not the problem conservatives have the problem we have is drags taking their clothes off and dancing and excepting money like they’re at a strip club in front the kids
Grooming and Sexualizing Children IS.
Drag for sure is not a crime. Put Nathan Lane in a dress or even Rudy Giuliani and it can be truly funny. But infuse it with a political and sexual recruiting agenda for children (who for this issue I’d argue should be anyone under 16), and it gets instantly downright creepy.
I some people that’s correct, but there are some people with mental illness that need help, can’t be blind to that.
This headline is a lie. The law prevents children from attending sexualized drag shows.
It becomes a crime when you are exposing children to deranged sexual performances
Tik Tak at work... These people look deranged. Look as if they are controlled by a click... I see them and think how do I protect my family.
It should be when grooming children. No mature adult wants to dance sexually in front of a child. It’s perverted that anyone would want to. Parents who drag a child to it need to really look at themselves and their weird false sense of inclusion and acceptance.
Drag is not a crime but it’s immoral to include children. That’s the crime.
It is if Lyndsey Graham, George Santos, DeSantis and Trump are performing “It’s Raining Men”!
This drag show had children throw dollars at drag “performers”. Was advertised as family friendly.
Priorities in America ...🙄
adult entertainment is for adults
What a drag.
yes, it is, degenerates
Life without fashion police….
